Talk about shifting gears! From CreeponJune to Christmas in July! Extreme! I downloaded the same kit, and that napkin, wow! It looked like rich velvet! This is going to be a wild ride! Here we go!

It is a huge shift!!! It has taken my brain a while to settle into it. Video 3 is where I seem to settle. You got the kit! How cool! If you share your makes, please make sure you tag me so I can see them. The napkin is beautiful . I am so glad I found them last weekend!

Hi Jodi, Just love sweet pea curiosities , they have such cute kits. I will pop in and out. I am not a huge Christmas in July person. I love Christmas but when the weather is cooler.

@JodiLewisCreations 12 күн бұрын

I totally get that! I like doing it in July because I don’t want to pack all my Christmas stuff when we travel! So this is a way to play with Christmas while at home with ALL my goodies!!I will try to make a couple non-Christmas things if I can! My time is limited right now.

The stamping up paper may be too thick for the die. It is quality, but it is thick. Love the napkin! You put so much pressure on yourself. Relax and go with the flow 😊 anxious to see what's next!

@JodiLewisCreations 12 күн бұрын

Thanks. I have found a calmer place and am enjoying working on the book. Video 2 .... I think I will label it Murphy. Then, things settle in 3. lol

What a great idea to alter a hymn book why didn't I think of that ... doh! Really looking forward to how this develops x

Oh my goodness! Your comment made me chuckle! Love it! Warning-episode 2 is a disaster! 😂 but I am really enjoying this process and the project! I hope if you work on one and share, you will tag me so I can see your work!

Great project so far@ I love altered books and I am thinking of doing one myself. Try using a toothbrush on the die cut to remove all the pieces. I use a medium, I don't think a soft-bristled brush will work. :) t.

@JodiLewisCreations 12 күн бұрын

Thanks! I have the Sizzix tool to remove the small bits. This die just doesn’t cut well. I am having fun with this project! Well, except Video 2….. I have a disaster occur and have to overcome it-which I do in 3.

@bernicechiniborch2600 12 күн бұрын

I made an altered book in the past but I was not pleased how it turned out, your explanation about how and why to pull pages has made me see my mistakes. I am looking over my plans for the month and will see if I will have time to do a Christmas in July project or not. Thanks for sharing looking forward to your next video.🇨🇦

I am glad it helped you! Video is my mess. Then, I seem to pull it back together in 3. 😆

@donnaquick5173 12 күн бұрын

Intricate dies almost always need a metal shim cutting plate. I see it is a Sizzix die. I am surprised they do not suggest it on the back of the package. Sizzix does sell them. I absolutely love your altered music Hymn book. ❤

@JodiLewisCreations 11 күн бұрын

Oh! I didn’t know there are metal plates! I will double check the back of the package. Maybe my husband has a piece of metal I can use to try that! Thank you!

@donnajustice5290 12 күн бұрын

Hi Jodie. Maybe you could try to spritz your the paper with a bit of water before cutting the tree. I have seen others do the spritz before cutting with success. I occasionally spritz before using embossing folders. Just dampen,Not wet is key.

@JodiLewisCreations 12 күн бұрын

I do that with embossing. I can try with cutting. Thank you!!!

@samanthanott6630 12 күн бұрын

Hi Jodie Your Christmas tree die, it’s probably the die… Can sharpen dies by using a soda/beer can, give the can a rinse, cut ends off, slice downwards so you can lay it out, then run it through your machine with the die, can make metal charms this way too but with those can sandpaper the edges and back with card.

@JodiLewisCreations 12 күн бұрын

Thank you so much!!!! I will see if I can do this and have them cut better!!!!
