That packing tape idea is brilliant! Thank you!

Hello Connie- You are correct that many times the stand alone dies get overlooked. This particular set I overlooked partially because so many fantastic bundles was at the top of my list to get first. This set of die’s has already shipped to me & will arrive this weekend. You are so kind to share all your ideas, tips & tricks with us. Also your talent & ideas are so great. The entire Stampin community appreciate you & your Stampin talents. I am so thankful to learn from you and your Stampin friends many paper crafting things. May God always bless you talented crafters ! 🙏 THANK YOU CONNIE ! 👏👏👏💕💐🌻

I love this die set. I totally overlooked it. I can't wait to purchase it. I love, love, love the foam idea. I'm going to get some right away. Connie, you're cards today looked fabulous. It inspired me to pull out the word dies I do own. It is time to get some use out of them. 😄Thank you SO much for all your wonderful ideas. What a blessing you are! 🤗

Watching the replay in Illinois. 😊 Thx for bringing these dies to my attention! Had not noticed them. Certainly on my wish list now! TFS

I just got these word dies. Can’t wait to try your ideas, especially with the holographic paper. I hadn’t noticed the blue to red that you pointed out

Love the packing tape idea to make word dies shiny. Thank you Connie.

I love the packing tape and the foam technique. I would have never thought of either of those! Thanks so much for sharing, Connie!

Hi, Connie, I love dies & embossing folders! Thanks for sharing this with us!🥰

Love Love Love Thanks for Sharing!

Wow, thanks Connie, I loved every card!

These are awesome, Connie! I had forgotten about the packing tape shine, thanks for the reminder :) Thanks for all you share with us!

Thank you for sharing. I love the packing tape tip for adding shine. So cool!

LOVE WORD DIES!!! They definitely make card making easier! Great tips!!!

Great ideas Connie! I especially love the foam sheet tip for dimension for word dies ❤️

Love all these ideas!!! TY❤

Love the packaging tape tip!! What a great idea!

Connie, Awesome Enhancement Ideas! Thank U!

Wink of Stella for the win! And why do I forget about torn paper? So pretty. For the craft foam -- I think it's important to note that if you're like me and like to put dies through forward and back (it's just easier in my small space) DON'T go forward and back with foam and word dies. Going back through will distort the shape. For something you're stacking, it won't fit properly. Ask me how I know! 😊

Hi Connie. Great cards and tips. I love the fun foam idea and I had forgotten the packing tape idea (that's a good ones well). Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦

Wow, Connie! Those are some awesome ways to use sentiment dies! Many of them I already do, but the packing tape is a new one to me, as is the ombre effect. Thank you so much! I do agree that putting adhesive back down for sentiment dies is very helpful, and it makes it look so much nicer.

So many great tips using these dies! Your cards are so pretty! Thank you for this video! It helps so much!

Wonderful tips and tricks Connie to use stand alone dies. You are so right that they tend to be overlooked

What great tips Connie. Thanks so much for sharing.

These are all super ideas for making our cards look more exciting and special. I love them! Thank you so much for all the good lessons you have for your subscribers.

Love all the ideas but the packing tape is my favorite. Thanks fir sharing. 😊

Great tips! I've used your packing tape technique and love it.

Awesome tips! Thank you so much. I had seen the packing tape used on one of your previous videos but totally forgot about it!

I love using foam tape and the sticky sheets to build my sentiments up. Love the ideal of packing tape I put it on my Alexa shopping list just now. Thank you for your wonderful ideas!

Thanks Connie love your cards & tips cheers Priscilla Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

Fantastic Connie.

You never fail to amaze!! I've been watching and following your ideas for MANY years and still you surprise me with new ideas. Thank you for being direct and to the point not wasting our time with non essential "stuff" and "fluff"! (And I like your hair getting a bit longer, too. Very becoming.)

So enjoyed your ideas. Please keep them coming.

All those tips were so wonderful thank you Connie for sharing

Awesome, new-to-me packing tape tip… easier than heat embossing… lovely cards and tips shared, Connie. Thank you so much!🎉❤

Fantastic tips!! Thanks for sharing🥳

Love all your tips.

Awesome tips, Connie! I particularly liked the ombre effect, which of course can be used with all kinds of colors (to make a more masculine card?). And silly me, I thought I already had those dies and of course, I do not. On to the wish list!!! I guess I love bling as much as you do; I'm crazy about all those shimmer papers we have now!

Thank you for the great tips.

Love these ideas. Ready to trythem

So fabulous thank you

Great cards. Thanks for the tips!!

Awesome cards, I just got the die set and love it already but have only used the birthday die so far. I must try your other ideas. I really like the packing tape idea.

Thank you for sharing Connie, since I always have a problem with die cutting words.

Wow!! Lots of ideas...thanks so much!

Awesome tips today! THANK YOU CONNIE!!

Your tips are great and I really enjoy your enthusiastic encouragement.

Wha a way to show your words off yea love these connie😊

Love all your card ideas, tips and tricks. Can't wait to try them.😊

Great idea with packing tape. I'm going to try on a vase /mason jar to see if I get a water effect. 🎉

Amazing ideas Connie , thanks for sharing❤

Love all your card idea especially the micro sheet! Thank you! Non card related but I love your nail polish…who makes it!

AWeSOME ideas...you got me!

I love your ideas!!

Wonderful tips!

Great technique and thanks for showing how to use the double side sticky paper.

I believe Wink of Stella has a place on EVERY card! Love it!!

Another great video! I love the tape idea. I too use the beneath card stock. It also takes away some of the weight and when mail with todays cost . . I started that when I was using the mirrored card stock and thought what a waste so i would cut out the shape smaller than I was using that would be hidden with the top layer. I could the use that else wear and like you say no one knows . ❤

Adorable cards, awesome tips, thank you for sharing ❤

Fantastic ideas!

Thanks for sharing

I use the packing tip idea all the time. This was a great and fun vid. You are so full of good tips and tricks. Thank you.

Great tips & cards, Connie!! Liked 👍 and shared

Fabulous cards! Love all your techniques! :)

Great ideas- especially like the packing tape idea!

What beautiful cards Connie! You always have such great ideas❤ I liked and shared thus video as well. Thanks for sharing ❤😊

Hi Connie, You are amazing with all of the ideas you come up with. Thank you for sharing with all of us. God bless you. I’m looking forward to the creative retreat.

Love it.

Great cards!!!

Great ideas!

I’ve been using the packing tape since the first time I saw you use it. Just used it on a card last week. I’ve used the foam sheets before, but always under the cardstock for dimension. Never thought about using it on top of a cardstock shadow. Now I have to try that. Loved all the tips today.

Good morning. I'm so happy your channel popped up the other day. Within 10 minutes of watching you, I hit the subscribe button. You're awesome and thank you so much for so many tips and downloads. I have a lot to watch. 😊

I also use sticky sheets when cutting 1/8 inch strips. I use a lot of the sticky sheets, Love them. Beautiful cards 🌹🌺

Wow, amazing ❤

I enjoy your videos so much. This one is full of amazing ideas. Thanks so much for sharing your crafty knowledge.😊

Love these techniques! 8-)

Gotta use that packing tape trick! It’s worth noting that when cutting craft foam with a die, only run through the machine once as it stretches a bit. Love to use fun foam for dimension by just cutting a matching piece for any die cut

Great tips

Great cards 😊

Thanks, as always, for the great tips, Connie! One tip to share: when I die cut something small or thin like words, I put it back into the C/S it was cut from then use Wink of Stella. Less fighting with delicate die cuts. The ombre was to LIVE for!!

So cool

Connie, you're so amazing!!! tfs 💚

These are all awesome ideas! The one that really stood out to me, was using packing tape for the shine. How easy is that? Thank you for sharing. ❤

Thank you for the packaging tape idea 😅

Love these easy cards. Oh btw, your hair is getting longer, looks great.

That packing tape though?! Made me laugh. Simple and creative idea. Thanks for your ideas and amazing tips!

Thanks so much for explaining the red& blue holographic paper! I saw four “colors” listed on the label but the red sheet looked all red to me. I couldn’t figure out where the blue was.

I love adhesive sheets. Great cards. You always have great techniques & tips. Off topic question - I have fallen in love with the Paper Florist dies. Are they an online exclusive? Because I cannot for the life of me find them in the catalogue.

Hi Connie, don’t see how you made the solid shadow? Love this technique.

Great ideas! Now I want the word dies😮. My husband will not be happy 😅

New to me - packing tape idea

What? Packing tape? Genius!
