What to Do Wtih Busy Pattern Papers!!! + Magnetic Platform Review (1096)

[@susansmith989]

Thank you! I enjoyed watching you make this cute card.

[@annettegriffiths3942]

What lovely little birds. Co cute. Thank you

[@raehenderson]

The magnetic pad is awesome! I've also successfully used it with Stampin'Up's machine. And I'd never die cut metallic cardstock without the regular Magic Mat. It wont etch lines into the soft metallic surface. Soo happy the Magnetic Magic Mat worked for you as well!!! ❤

[@melissazabower339]

I have the stampin' up machine. Good to know the magnetic plate will work! Do you have a flexible gray mat for embossing with a stencil? Do you know what I mean? Where did you get that mat?

[@kimj4383]

Natasha, A great way to save and clean your Magic Mat. Put mat in a 9 x 13 inch cake pan. Cover with boiling water and set something heavy on top. (I use a pot full of water). All the paper bits that are stuck in the mat float out of the mat and the mat will be flat again. You can do this over and over again!

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Oh those little birdies are so cute Tash! Love your card.tfs.x

[@qtem1]

Natasha, such a lovely card with the cute stamped birdies. 😊

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

Super cute card. I love those little birds. And colored in rainbow colors is so fun. Beautiful paper pad too. And I really like the frame with it. You always have such great ideas. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@cherylstephens4268]

That is such a cute card. That is a great stamp and die. I can see it would be a good addition. Those rainbow birds are gorgeous. 🎉❤🎉

[@nikkiobrien2345]

I have a different brand, but I love my magnetic mat! How does anyone live without one?!

[@dmesm57]

Lovely!

[@melissazabower339]

Love that flower paper and that bird stamp. That stamp could be so versatile -- birthday, thinking of you, condolences, etc. 😊💛

[@judyhartmann3071]

I need to get the magnet pad! Like you my magic mat is petty beat up! Love the card! So cute.

[@rkug777]

I bought that magic mat for my cuttlebug (green one) too which is not even sold anymore lol.

[@paulawray6210]

Great video! I too love the Magnetic Mat. Terrific birdie card! Thank you!

[@MsShanarun]

Gorgeous! Very cute stamp set. Clever idea using rainbow colors!

[@yvonnemoore3698]

Gorgeous birdie card Natasha. They really stand out using the frame.

[@susandavenport9257]

I have the Sizzix magnetic platform which I use with my Magic Mat, of course!

[@triciaschuhmacher]

Gorgeous card love the little birds ❤

[@wendihaikugrl2651]

Super cute! I struggle with busy backgrounds and this is a great idea! TYFS! 🌻

[@marthastrayton]

I am first, and very impressed by myself 😂! But more impressed with your cute card! I always look forward seeing the end product when you make a card, and then voila! You have made a gorjuss card! ❤❤❤❤

[@ruthjames715]

That card is so pretty, I love the tweety birds.

[@JessKing-xi4gt]

Wow! What a clever way to use those busy papers as a frame border Natasha! That’s a great idea, and those birds in the middle add the perfect touch. I love those pens too but use the brush tip. They’re just so much easier to use as I’m not a wizard with colouring so they take the guess work out of blending. Thanks also for showing the magic mats both standard and magnetic. Question for anyone out there, the handle came right off my big shot a few months ago while using it, and the Alan key isn’t enough to tighten things. It’s still really loose and I have to almost push against the machine to run a die through. But it’s not as effective & only really cuts simple shapes effectively. Does anyone have any ideas how I could fix it? Does it need an extra screw or bolt in there? Thanks for your help 😊🩷

[@JamesCrabtree-cp8ym]

Beautiful card. The birds are so cute. Thank you for sharing. 🤗

[@bonnerdebbie]

Super cute card, thanks Natasha.

[@judymcintire7095]

Love the birds and the way you used them. TFS

[@jenniferbarela8793]

I love the little birds.

[@dorindavaughn4870]

Thanks for bringing us joy. The little birds on the branch are precious.

[@DoogieDoggie]

My regular Magic Mat far outlasted my magnetic mat. The magnetic mat eventually ended up with a huge bump on one end and became unusable. I also didn’t find that it held my die cuts any better than the regular one so I still had to tape everything down.

[@maureenhadfield9315]

Awesome card. Love the simplicity of it yet it looks stunning 😍 Thank you Natasha 😊 x

[@jaynekeck7038]

Always love your cards

[@diannerobert3822]

So adorable this birdies card ! 😊

[@susanbollinger2844]

Love the little birds

[@anaraposo522]

What an adorable card.

[@nannyannie9432]

Adorable little birds. Beautiful card.

[@marianhopley7601]

The magnetic mat looks wonderful. Can you use dies on acetate, using the magnetic mat?

[@michelegourd5742]

So very cute!! This was very helpful!!

[@sandrawijckmans4306]

I love the stamp so cute

[@charlottethien3749]

Natasha, Very cute card ❣️

[@WoodlandInspired]

Super cute, thank you for sharing 🥰💕

[@jobethdavis9720]

Thanks for the honest review. 😊

[@roxanneklinger3828]

Really cute idea.

[@zeldaackerman4394]

So sweet!

[@FJOCLEMMONS]

I love your channel!

[@reneebanbury7066]

I have not tried the magic mat yet, but I feel better about it seeing you use it! ❤

[@jean9919]

Another lovely card, thanks Natasha. I have used the Sizzix magnetic platform with my Big Shot for years and couldn’t craft without it. Never need tape to keep things in place.

[@brendajones7756]

I'm debating whether to buy that to use with my stamp in up regular cut and emboss machine.

[@lornaholliday54]

to make your mat look better, heat it with a heat gun. It gets the shape back and it gets rid of the paper bits out of the mat. I make the mat quite soft and then lie it under a heavy metallic mat and between the rollers of my big shot. It is good as new in the morning

[@BarlowSmith]

❤ it! 🤗

[@annettepearce1690]

Very sweet

[@lindadunstall1790]

Hi Natasha! Gorgeous! TFS 🥰🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘💐

[@cardstockcollector]

Thank You!

[@pattyfromherz9965]

A very sweet card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@noreenhennessy9299]

I love my magic mat…even as ratty as it is. I love the magnetic magic mat…and I definitely love my tri blend markers

[@julieorme9646]

Lovely ❤

[@mariabromwich8897]

If you use your heat tool on your magic mat, keeping it moving around, it lifts out all the dents from dies. I did get a magnetic magic mat and it was great the first few uses, but has held the shape of dies really badly and gone almost lumpy. Very odd.

[@743linda]

Great card❤

[@carolward6833]

Thank you my dear 👋

[@DesignsbyKellie]

My magic mat never cuts all the way through with my Big shot machine. I was so disappointed in it

[@carmlongo1227]

I just ordered this mat. I thought the point of the mat though was to be able to not have to use tape still on stamped images? Have you tried it that way?

[@lisamorgan834]

I loved the rainbow color way for the birds. The blue were also cute. Great use of the floral for frame. Aren't the Mintay papers gorgeous? You use a lot of different brands of patterned papers, do you have a favorite or go to brand?

[@nikkirosindale7854]

Beautiful as always,I love triblend pens,but the skin tones dry too quick,or i use too much 😅

[@ruthfuller207]

Very cute card.

[@christinemason8783]

Love it

[@brianmoyse6980]

Beautiful card, Mintay is one of my favourite brands, Ive just recently found a NZ comapany they do amazing papers and its good they are NZ based. Love the birds I have a die very similar. Sometimes its hard to use busy papers. X

[@fionnawheatley9095]

Ooh what is it? I love to support local (ish) Perth Western Australia!

[@brianmoyse6980]

@fionnawheatley9095 do you want to know the name of the NZ company?

[@love-light369]

​@@brianmoyse6980 Yes, please 😘

[@brianmoyse6980]

@@love-light369 it's called 3Quarter Designs Based in New Zealand. I have their Bee Happy Collection12x12 papers,diecut sheets of elements, it's very bright and bold.

[@fionnawheatley9095]

@ yes please!

[@tjyb1502]

I would love a magnetic mat... unfortunately I believe the magnetic/magic mat are just a pinch too big to use in my favoured Cuttlebug. 🤷‍♀️ Those wee birds are fantastic!!

[@robinfleischer9804]

Try layering magnet mat down first, next die facing up, next paper, next black magic mat. Die will cut into magic mat and not magnetic mat..

[@lilalabom6393]

🙋‍♀️💖

[@joank2818]

I’ve had my magic mat for years. When it warps I put it out in the sun or if it’s raining I use my heat gun and it ‘magically’ straightens right out. There has been no need for me to buy a new one.

[@karendjohn8803]

I’ve heard that works. Will have to try it.

[@dizzinese]

i wrote to SBC and let them very kindly know that it’s very irritating buying the very expensive switch and no one makes mats for that. No embossing mats so I’ve tried but can’t emboss stencils or dies because it’s too much pressure. the magic mat gets a terrible huge bubble in the middle that will not come out long before it’s cut all up. They told me to use my big shot to emboss stencils. well, that’s not why I paid so much money for an electric machine. Anyone else get frustrated with no attention given to the switch?

[@lorraine8037]

I thought that you were not supposed to cut into the magnetic side 😮

[@Samua3]

Its so distracting (but not necessarily in a negative way) to hear words with the hard "e" pronounced as if it's a hard "i". Also hard "a" seems to be pronounced "e". Eg Magnetic is "megnitic" or "necessary" is "nicissiry". Not being critical...it just makes you realise that people can have noticeably different rules for things like this. (Like when Americans say "erbs" and it jars you. lol) and you find you haven't listened to what is said as much as how it's said. 🤔😅
