    Thx for the video process, Melissa! From one Melissa to another- I’m super geeked I found your channel. I could see overlaying stencil in the same color but in a different medium finish (ie glossy over matte). Just to add some interesting dimension.

    I was fascinated by these techniques. I’m thinking my dies would cut through the Duralar plastic sheets. I have a lot of dies with interesting shapes. Thank you for this video, Melissa.

    @@ArtworkByMelissaReed Hi, just wanted to let you know I tried making a little stencil with a die and Yupo paper and it worked great. Since it’s synthetic paper, it should hold up well. I will try more.

    @@ArtworkByMelissaReed I have had a Sizzix Big Shot for years but there are so many machines out there now. It’s a simple manual machine and I have to buy the dies You would probably like a Cricut because you can download images from a computer. There’s another one that’s very popular with creators I can’t remember what it is,
