my absolute favorite trick i learned recently: when doing ink smooshing, put the inks down on a piece of acetate, spray with water, and then pick up the piece of acetate and put it ink side down onto the cardstock you want to smoosh on. this way you can actually SEE the pattern you're making, and can even slightly rub the wet areas to move around the ink a bit to where you may want it. It helps you have a bit of control where otherwise you'd normally just be blindly trusting the process. :) bonus tip:if you're on a super tight budget, like i am, thrift stores and estate sales can be gold mines for the creative crafter! so often, especially at estate sales, they price things like cardstock and photo paper super amazingly cheap because they dont realize how valuable it can be to us crafty types. Good luck out there!

When I want a stamped die cut image to have a front and back: place a silicone mat on a stamping platform stamp image on silicone mat (2x). Next carefully place card on top of silicone mat, ink stamp up again and bring down on card. When you remove card image will be on both back and front. Die cut and WALA! If I want to mirror a stamp image I will stamp image on silicone mat and then place card on top of image and DO NOT RUB..USE YOUR FINGERS TO PUT PRESSURE ON IMAGE. Lift card and WALA! Have fun crafting ALL and much luck to all entering!

They're too pretty to throw away! Speaking of rainbows, that rainbow-sparkly htv is amazing! 🤩🌈 My favorite hack is to cut out dies when I first get them and then put the die cuts into a 3-ring binder, each inside it's own baseball card protector pocket. When I need inspiration, I just flip through my binder. It also helps me remember which dies I have! 🤣

One of my fave tips to save card stock or patterned paper: On a layer that will be covered in the middle, by another layer, punch out shapes , such as tags, with paper punches, or dies. Save the punched shapes for future cards/projects. Once the next layer is added, you won’t ever be able to tell shapes were punches out of the previous layer! Also makes card lighter, so it can possibly save postage.

My favorite hack that you shared is foiling the die cuts. That will add a whole new level of awesome on my cards. For a hack I use, is when I am stamping and/or die cutting for a card, I go ahead a stamp a few more and put in the case with the stamps. Then when I need a quick card, I can just grab and put together

I definitely love the hack of using an iron for foiling!!! A personal hack I ha e used for years is keeping a coloring page on a clipboard until I am done. That way it is ready to pick up at any time. Also, when working on a paper project. Keep it all together on a tray, or scrapbook tote or even a clean cookie sheet. That way when you are ready to finish that project, you still have all the needed parts.

Mary, some different ways to foil is always a plus, especially using my dies. I guess what I discovered was common sense, but I always had a hard time using glitter on my cards. It is so easy, with double sided adhesive. One side sticks to your project and the exposed side really holds on to the glitter. So simple but I’m a visual person so I needed to see it🤪.

Hi, Mary, terrific ideas as always! My tip to share is for stamped textured backgrounds. You never have to look further than your kitchen’s food wrapper drawer. Making a ball of plastic wrap, aluminum foil, waxed paper, parchment paper or freezer paper (you can use paper towels, too) and dipping them into your ink pad, then “stamp” onto paper to create a new background. Each one stamps differently, especially if scrunched loosely versus tightly. It’s so much fun! Enjoy!

I have the spellbinders and I tried lots of my regular dies and follow the steps as if they were glimmer and all of them foiled beautifully. I don’t record my craft although I purchased a good camera to make my tutorials for the Spanish community mostly, but I got really sick and I was diagnosed with several rare syndromes and to make it short, my last surgery in Virginia at the VCU was a pancreas inlet cells transplant, but although I am able to eat once a day under pain management I lost too much muscle mass and I am too weak.

There are many tips I like, but there are two that I use a lot. The first: if you use double sided foam tape for a shaker card, the foam tape is easily shaped around (for instance a circular shape) if you take off the backing paper. The second tip: if you want to glue some cardstock background onto your base card with double sided tape, I like to peel off a small part of the backing paper and fold it to the side. I do all four corners, two corners on the top (left) and two corners on the bottom (right). So diagonally from peeled corners. Then you can move the background to the correct position. Carefully peel the rest of the backing paper away and your work is perfectly aligned… Thank you for your tips and tricks👍

My favorite tip is to make lots of sentiments from dies. That way, when you need a sentiment, just go to your stash. I die cut sentiments from colored card stock using lots of colored ink pads, then emboss. Somehow, you just feel “wealthy”. When you look at all of the ready to go sentiments.

I didn't discover it, but it's the best hack I have ever learned. I always place a piece of acetate over my project where I want to stamp a sentiment. That way I make sure it is straight and in the right place before I stamp it on my card or other project. It's been a life saver for me many, many times.

I also want to mention that I thought the Cricut heat press was a "crock" because I have an iron, but I bought one at an incredible price--and it's a game changer. My vinyl projects come out perfectly every time. (I bought the 9x9). I love your videos--you're truly an inspiration.

I’ve been making cards for a while & I recently learned that we can use the fancy side of a paper napkin, by taking all the other backing sheets off, then putting it on Kmart Craft brown wrapping paper, heat sealing it with an iron. That paper has a waxy side, that’s the side you hear set the napkin too. Another quick hack is using packing tape to adhere images to. Then after you’ve got your image adhered, soak in warm water for a short while, then scrap off the paper & voila you’ve got a translucent ephemera for your project. I’ve also seen the self heal cutting mats used as replacements for Die cutting machines

First of all, congrats on the new heat press, and that apron is awesome! Secondly, I love all of the foiling hacks you shared! I'm not sure if this is a hack or not, but I am in the process of reorganizing my embossing powders and combined a few different things I saw on various youtube channels to create an embossing powder organization method that is really helpful. For every embossing powder, I die cut a circle and a tag from the same white cardstock I typically use. I stamp a very detailed image in black on the circle and stamp the same image in embossing ink near the middle of the tag. I then cover the bottom half-inch or so of the tag and the entire circle with embossing ink, then apply the powder and set as usual. The circle gets stuck on the top of the jar (or front of the bag) and the tag gets labeled with the powder name and goes on a cable organizer arranged by color. This lets me use the tags to a) see how well the powder handles detailed images and b) put the embossed edge of the tag next to where I want to apply embossing powder to make sure I like the color match. I can also tell at a glance which container holds the powder I want and whether it is translucent, semi-opaque, or opaque. It's not really a hack because it takes so much time to get everything sorted initially, but once the work is done, it makes it INCREDIBLY easy to grab the powder I want and figure out which powder will work best for different applications. I didn't realize just how much time it saved until I was creating a card a few days ago and was able to quickly check the tags against my background to figure out what color I wanted to emboss my sentiment in.
