I loved this, so glad you showed them all cut, I buy from there to and sometimes you wonder if they will cut. Thank you, Judy

I have some of these dies and running through more than once and experimenting with paper types really help. I also watch for example photos of the dies in completed assembled products, like the bird set. Take screenshots of the example photos. Can really help when trying to figure where those little pieces go like the bits for the bird's head. Thank you for sharing this.

Put the intricate dies rough side up, underneath your paper instead of rough side down on top of the paper. It's also easier to poke the little pieces out of you leave the paper in the die. It gives you a sturdier surface to work with.

I've watched a ton of Temu hauls and I have to say that I like it better when it's just the showing of the products with screenshots of the finished product vs. watching you die cut them right on the spot -it takes so much longer. Most of the other influencers do a second video where they're testing their products. I still enjoyed your video, but it seemed to take so much longer and didn't keep my attention vs. the other way. As far as the electric die cut machines, I have three! The Gemini was my first one and I loved it. My last one was Anna Griffin's Empress regular size and I don't know what I'd do without it. I use it 99% of the time because in watching her, you put your cardstock down on the magnet sheet, then put your cutting die on top of the cardstock, so it doesn't move, no need for washi tape to hold it in place. Her magnet sheet is thicker than the Gemini's so it works this way. A magnet sheet is only $12, so it's inexpensive to replace, but I use mine everyday and it lasts for at least a couple of months. I even bought the mini Express and love it for die cutting little dies and words. These two machines are game changers! I hope my opinions helps you in some way. Thank you and I'm glad I found your channel.

I recently started learning to use my wafer thin die collection, normally I stick to steel rule dies and I use my cutting plates to within a millimeter of their lives. They worked fine for my simpler wafer dies, but I learned to keep a fresh plate to use on my more intricate dies, anything where a lot of paper got cut through at once.

Just a tip that I saw from another channel, screen shot and print out the image of the completed die cut from the website. Be sure to store the image with the die for reference.

Enjoyed your video, I don't know if this helps anyone, and I don't know the lady who showed it on YT, but when card shims and various plates don't help on intricate dies use bubble wrap, card stock then your plate. I have tried it on a tricky die from a well known company and it worked. Definitely foam pad and brush for tiddly bits in the die, leave in the die and brush from the back.

Thanks for actually showing what the dies can do, rather than just showing a die in a package. If you line your die with waxed paper or dryer sheet, they will come out a lot easier. I order a ton from Temu and I may have had 1 bad die out of hundreds...yes I have a problem😅. Cutting side up helps as well or just add an extra little shim

I was right there with you on that last die--had NO idea what it was about! I think it's nice you showed us everything so we know what to buy and what to skip. tfs

I just looked up the donut hole punch. It shows it's for using with washi tape to make little sticky hole protectors. Awesome little gadget. It also looks like she barely squeezes it and it cuts the tape perfectly and then you just peel the little donut off the plastic sheet. Also, there's a very neat tool to help get rid of all those little pieces out of intricate dies. I bought one and Micheal's and found one on Temu. It's a brush with a foam sheet, you lay the die on the foam and roll the brush back and forth and it gets rid of the little pieces. Search "die cut brush tool" I enjoyed your video, I like that you showed the die cut outs, not just the die. You have a calming voice which is nice. Love seeing your cat!

On thin dies, use a thin die adapter. You can try adding a piece of paper between the plate sandwich, but the adapters don't cost much.

Thank you for this! I have been wondering about their die’s! The seem to work great.

I have a lot of the same dies , I haven’t had a chance to try them yet. thanks so much for sharing. 🌼 so much fun watching you die cut .

When I am cutting intricate designs I will use an extra shim. Put an extra piece of card stock on top. See if that works.

I have dies and thought they didn't cut through properly, then realised they cut and emboss! Birdie the part with the hole is the head and beak, the 2 feather wings the other part could be the chest but I didn't get a good look, hope that helps.

You need a die brush tool. They have them on Temu. Also try using a fresh dryer sheet on those intricate dies. Watch how to on KZfaq. It works.

The donut punch shot one out when you did it on paper. But I think the plastic pieces is for using it with washi. I could have seen it wrong…. 2:41

Enjoyed the demo. The library card pocket die is fun to use with double-sided patterned paper.

They are so cool! I can’t wait and will be checking out your Etsy! Thank you 🥳❤️

Metal shim I've got the same die. Works like a dream x

i would return the punch and not think twice about it. great haul! 😊

Thank you for sharing these. I would definitely pass on a few thanks to you. 😁

1st time here and loved your video. Thanks. I could relate so much. It was like watching myself.

Some of those dies, (bee) you can turn over, and use embossing mat, i figured out, some dies are a combination

I hung in there with you! Love them but I would have to pass on the intricate plates, and the punch. Thanks so much for sharing!

Thanks for sharing thanks for the laugh. ❤

I think on your bee and hearts you need to add a shim for added pressure when cutting

Wow very nice, your film, and the dies.

Try putting a piece or 2 of paper on top as a shim. Those intricate dies need a little more pressure.

Have you tried the spongy thing with the brush roller to get the little pieces out?

Sometimes it helps to weed your image before you take it out of the die.

Hi Lisa, some cute dies from Temu, I've had a couple that just wouldnt cut through no matter how many times but mainly ok. The bird with the pieces...is there a picture on the Temu item that would give you a clue? Im crafting and listening to you, looking up to see the diecut so not boring, its nice company 😊 as I'm in UK prob wont buy from you cost of postage but think a selection of diecuts is a great idea 👍

Maybe it's for different thickness card, but it shouldn't be that hard to punch.

Using parchment card stock does not work and you should run your dies twice.

Temu? Nope.

Sorry, no Temu. They steal designs, patterns etc. from artists and designers.
