Hi Sherry, thank you! What was your favorite in the video? ~Emma Lou

[@ladym6738]

Oh favorite, gosh that is hard - thinking, thinking - love the overlaps that seem to extend the usefulness of the die investment and certainly love the end-result-pieces that you used to demonstrate.

Love all your dies but just having a hard time to cut out the Happy Birthday and Thank You on the Elegant Border Basics. Is it possible to show a demonstation how the words are cut? Thank you. Love your video's and dies.

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Shirley, Thank you for watching. I actually filmed a video that shows this demonstration. The video will go live on March 22nd, stay tuned:) ~Emma Lou

[@margaretholdsworth6566]

oh good - I just bought the four lots and I am too puzzled how to cut the Happy Birthday

[@stamp2color]

Thank you Emma Lou. I will look forward to that.

[@yvonneduffy6812]

Lovely, your cards are just so beautiful. Can you please tell me what weight card you use to make your cards and do you make your own enveopes

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Yvonne, thank you:) I typically like to use 110 pound cardstock. We do make some of our own envelopes and here is a great tutorial: www.heartfeltcreations.us/blog/450/tutorial-diy-handmade-envelopes-for-your-dimensional-cards ~Emma Lou

[@natalinatagliaferri6257]

Wonderful works. Sorry There is a video when You make a skeleton fold card? I don't know how to make The skeleton. And where is possible to found landscape paper? Do You have a link please? Ty

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Natalina, Thank you for watching! The skeleton card folds you see in this video can be bought as patterns to make as your own, or you can use those as a card base that is already created for you. You can follow this link to learn more: www.heartfeltcreations.us/shop/foldout-cards

[@user-xv3hs1lv4k]

It is very beautiful. What kind of paper do you use? I want to create wedding invitations and don't know what kind of paper is best to use.

[@heartfeltcreations]

Thank you! I love to use a smooth cardstock with a weight of around 100 pounds. ~Emma Lou

[@chantalnadeau5152]

Bonjour, les matrices que j'aimerais sont épuisées, est-ce que vous en aurez d'autres bientôt ? Et, est-ce que je peux les réserver à l'avance pour être certaine de les recevoir bientot?, Chantal

[@mariaisdeanda8673]

[@heartfeltcreations]

Here is a tutorial to make your own: www.heartfeltcreations.us/blog/450/tutorial-diy-handmade-envelopes-for-your-dimensional-cards or if you prefer ready made envelopes, these are an amazing option: www.heartfeltcreations.us/shop/crafting-accessories/envelopes-and-clear-boxes. ~Emma Lou

[@grammafreddie]

Love the dies but I find them VERY difficult to get the tiny bits out of the die cut so I hardly use them at all. Suggestions?

[@heartfeltcreations]

Freda Holmes Hey Freda, I’m so sorry you’ve been having issues with getting the tiny bits out. I personally like to tap my die against a solid surface really hard and they pop out...have you watched this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWOmZHeoZ56Xf9E

[@margaretholdsworth6566]

I am a little confused about the Happy Birthday die - thought your video was coming out but just re-read and its not until March 22nd. In the illustration the Happy Birthday appears to have a cutting line along the bottom but the die itself does not - it does not seem to fit the line of any of the dies. Anyone else solved this yet?

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Margaret, The cutting die does not have a die to cut it out along the bottome. Later this month, there will be a video launched that shows how to use this beautiful die:) Thank you for being part of our crafting family! ~Emma Lou

[@margaretholdsworth6566]

ok thanks so much

[@rosanefreitas7913]

[@louiseranger8293]

What is the name of the machine your using please, to be able to use the Die border , thank you. Really enjoying and learning a lot with your video. Thanks

[@heartfeltcreations]

Thank you Louise! In this video I am using the Vagabond, most machines that take wafer thin dies will work. Do you have a diecutting machine? What do you love about these dies? ~Emma Lou

[@louiseranger8293]

Heartfelt Creations I have just started doing cards and just loving everything about , just got the classic petunia collection paper collection and the stamp and die , and the lilac set also and the regal borders , just love them , thank you

[@heartfeltcreations]

So excited for you, those are excellent choices and so pretty! Have fun creating:) ~Emma Lou

[@deborahjohansen4400]

I use a Joy Trouvaille machine for my cards. I'm thinking of ordering the border dies through Amazon. Is it possible to use the border dies with this machine?

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Deborah, Yes you will be able to use our dies through this machine. You would use the same combo you normally use with thin metal dies. ~Emma Lou

[@emidickens9749]

Hi. I would like to get one of the big cut machine, can you please tell me Where can i get one? Thanks so much.

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hi Emi, how's it going? Here's the info for this machine: www.heartfeltcreations.us/shop/crafting-accessories/die-cutting-machines/sizzix-vagabond-2-with-solo-wafer-thin-die-adapter

[@joannequagliara7128]

Lovely,thank you. The video is too fast;I don’t have time to look long enough to get inspired.Could you maybe slow it down a little. Your work is magnificent but it rolls too fast. I have the delicate border but looks like I may need to pair it with your classic border set.From the bottom of my heart.😍

[@heartfeltcreations]

Thank you for your feedback Joanne:)

[@dorasantos9354]

Belo!

[@stickerlady1774]

What is your die cutting machine?

[@heartfeltcreations]

Hwy Karen, I was using the Vagabond machine created by Sizzix.
