I've used the rolling pin technic for year before I picked up a Big Shot at a garage sale. Works great, especially if you use a wooden rolling pin. I use painters tape to stick things down. To make the tape less tacky, stick it onto you clothes and pull it up..

This is a perfect solution to big dies with a small machine! Great tip! I love these cards you have created. 🤗🤗

Now I know I can use it. :) I couldn't find the instructions for the project on your blog. I love it! If you would steer me in the right direction, I would love to make some for Christmas presents for the coming year. Thank you!

What a wonderful idea! I realized after I bought my small machine, that I was going to need a bigger machine. I asked everyone at Christmas one year if they would just donate as opposed to buying presents! This was 20-something years ago, so I'm sure they were much cheaper than they are now.

Yes great tip. The paper thickness certainly makes a difference! I tried to do this my first time using cardstock (like 65lb I think).. and it was really hard to do bc it needed more pressure than the thinner paper. I also tried an intricate die and it didn't work out lol.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing such an inspirational and useful video! I am only just getting interested in paper crafting so I’m not sure that buying a die cutter would be a good use of money for me (depending on how my interest lasts). Seeing how metal dies can be used without a machine is fantastic! I looked for the link to the video you said you watched about it and could find the link - maybe I looked in the wrong place, though?

I’ve done this before when I forgot to bring my plastic sleeve for my machine. Great job
