In this video, I am sharing with you how I use die cuts without a machine. It's actually very easy! I've seen some use rolling pins, but I didn't get that to work on the smallest details. Here's how I do it (skip to 4:04 for the tutorial). This video is a collaboration with In Love Art Shop, who gifted the following products: Mushroom stamp: bit.ly/307z3Bo Mandala die: bit.ly/3eMFUUF Watercolour brushes: bit.ly/2zYlUzL They are giving 15% discount to my viewers with the code : G-17898

This is really a great video ! And so helpful. Thank you so very much for sharing this. I was frustrated with the dies I got from Temu. After 10 times back and forth through my Sizzix, it was still impossible to get a straight cut everywhere. A part came off easily, another never did. So I'm delighted to know I still might succeed after all! You made my day, so once again : Thank you so much ! ❤❤❤

Hi Charlotta. We really like the mushroom and how cool to use a rock with the die cut to make this lovely shape. Thanks for sharing! xx

Hello, Charlotta Sophia, this is the second video of yours I've watched. I'm so glad I saw this, it's pretty cool! I've also heard that you can use die cuts with a pasta roller. Thank you for this info! I love your name. My mom's name was Charlotte and I've always loved the name Sophia. My mom just passed away in February this of year. She was 96 and a real sweetheart. I miss her so. Now, I can buy the beautiful rose die that I've been checking out. 🌹

Thanks Kyle! It’s just normal copy paper. Works with card too 🙂 Thinner paper rips 👎🏼 Also, I learned that there are some special die brushes you can use to remove the small parts quicker. I’m Yet to try one though... thanks for passing through! Can’t wait to see your new studio set up! 👩🏼‍🦳 👊🏽 ✨

This is a very common question. You’re not the only one wondering 🙂 I guess it depends on the quality of the dies? I haven’t had a problem with that but if it’s a worry then it might be worth investing in a cutting machine 🙏🏻 xx

Hi thanks for commenting 🙂 Thin paper rip easily when you try to remove from the dies. I’ve noticed 250 gsm paper works best. Happy New Year! 🙌🏼⭐️

You can use a toothbrush to remove the small pieces. T4S...

@CharlottaSophia

4 жыл бұрын

Toothbrush? Hmm ok! Gotta try that, thank you! I tried with a painting brush but maybe it was too soft...? 💭

I think the reason why a rolling pin didn’t work for you (as you said in comments in late video) is because the rolling pin is very flat and unmoving, so small details are missed if the rolling pin doesn’t reach some of the small pieces of metal, either due to the metal not being as tall or because the pin is not perfectly shaped. A solution may be to use a combination of cutting board and silicon mat. The mat is flexible and so you can apply more pressure to the paper and metal, pushing it into the mat. Just a theory. I’m about to make 30 wedding invitations so I’ll let you know if it works (if I remember to do so)

An update!!! I am very wrong. Idk if it’s just me or if I was sick, but I could not apply enough force with the rolling pin. One note I should make is that I was using a rolling pin that was cheap and weak - felt like it would break if I tried too hard.

Great idea, but I only use cardstock, so no good for me
