Somebody mentioned wanting a smaller size tag die to go with the regular ones, like a nested set, so it's easier to cut cardstock and coordinating paper. That would be awesome.. I'd also like to suggest a set of dies for cutting and scoring hinges for mini albums -- with 1/4 and 1/2 inch gussets, perhaps marketed as a set. Make them a little long, and users can cut down strips as needed.
For gluing these pieces, I use two pieces of wax paper. On one sheet, I spread glue very thinly ( I’m using a glue stick) , and place cut out on top. With the other piece of wax paper, I place over the cut out and smooth down, making sure the glue has adhered well to the cut out underneath. Then peel off the top piece of wax paper, lift off the die cut and place it on the tag. An easy way of getting the piece completely covered in glue, with out having to hold it as you glue it.
Just ordered my die. Had to wait, but so worth it! Already have the huge tag. I saw it on a video from Creativation via Scraptime and mouth stayed open. Yes it did! Love all your new dies. So nice!
Hello Di, yes! So happy you are excited about the new dies. We have been getting requests for years, so we are happy to finally have the products to share with our G45ers! Happy Papercrafting!
Thanks for watching Mz. Griz! We are happy to hear this tutorial was helpful, and that you look forward to creating with our dies! Happy Paper Crafting!
Why is it necessary to angle the die on the paper? I used these G45 tags a few years ago, after seeing Ginger Ropper’s videos. I found it frustrating to try to cut paper to fit over the hole. I ended up starting my paper overlay below the hole, to avoid the problem. After a few years away from papercrafting, I recently saw a new Ginger video using these tags. I asked how she got the paper to fit over the hole perfectly, and she replied that G45 now has a tag die. I just ordered the long tag die, and plan to use it with my shorter tags too, by cutting the shorter bottom separately. I know G45 is in the business of making money, but I feel like they’re taking advantage of their customers when they package the tag dies separately. I’ll “make do” with the longer tag die. Also, I have flower and leaf/vine dies already. I don’t need new ones (included with the large tag die) just the tag die. Bad marketing, IMO. One more thing: If the presenter makes a mistake, I think it’s more professional to start over.
Thank you for your feedback! It is great that you are resourceful and using the Large Tag die with the Regular Tags, that is a great tip! Since our tags don't quite nest inside each other, such as the Large and Regular tags are the same width, and the square is wider we couldn't make them one sku without having to use a large sheet of metal which would have resulted in a much more expensive product. So we thought it would be great to utilize the space inside the tags to come up with fun dies that would be useful for a variety of paper crafting projects. We hope the flowers, gears, and clock dies can also be useful. But our first priority was creating a die to fit our tags since this had been such a popular request for many years now.
Love these dies! Would like to see another coordinating tag die a little larger to cut the 1/8th border around the smaller one. Would save time from having to go out and buy the tags themselves.
Be sure to check out our Facebook page for a Live video including a contest where you can win all the dies and tags. facebook.com/Graphic45/videos/vl.639632006223971/1895017050532397/?type=1
Thanks for watching! The dies will store easily in their original packaging or some use magnet sheets to hold their dies until they are needed for the next project. Happy Paper Crafting!
Hello! i was just recently gifted the extra long tag set. Do you all sell the eyelet or grommet to match the tags? Or do you have to buy products that already have them in them?
Hi, what a nice gift to receive! At this time we do not sell the grommets that match our tags. Our tags already have the grommets on them and our tag dies are designed to die cut a layer that fits on top of our tags with a small border showing, or of course you can use them by themselves. Thanks for writing in and Happy Papercrafting!
Hello Scrapdiva29, great question. We do not offer the grommets, only the tags at the moment. We have gotten requests for the grommets and we are looking into that idea for the future. We do offer the base tags in three different colors, which is what the dies were inspired from. We had so many requests to come out with a die to go with our tags so crafters no longer had to trace and cut. You can find the tags and local G45 retailers on our website g45papers.com. thanks so much!
Thanks for video. I have the tag set and absolutely LOVE the design, but my Big Shot Plus and I are not able to get a clean cut, no matter how many different turns, plate combinations, or ways I stand on my head! What can I do to change this outcome?!
Jeanne, sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the dies cutting clean! If it is the doily die, have you tried putting the die on the cutting pad first, cutting side up and laying the paper on top of the die and then the 2nd cutting pad? I also lay a half sheet of card stock on top of the top cutting pad because my cutting pads are old and warped. Do you have a friend or store close by that could try the die on their machine? If this doesn't work you should be able to return the die to where you purchased it for a replacement. Hope this helps! Feel free to call or e-mail info@g45papers.com for further assistance. Monika
Monika, thank you for your reply and cutting tips, but nothing cuts clean still, even passing it through several times over, even carefully turning the die 90 degrees! Yes, it is the doily surrounding the clock. I will try a different cutting machine as soon as it is delivered, as I have ordered a Spellbinders Platinum 6. That’s how much I love this die!
Beautiful dies. Can’t wait to use them on my next G45 project. But, please, please do away with the music. I loved the video but won’t watch anymore of them until the music is gone.
I wish you would do away with the music, it's annoying and repeating and I can't hear you as well and don't want to turn up the sound because the music almost overrides your voice anyway. Otherwise , nice video.
D Thomas I think when you make such a comment, you need to do it via email. No need to insult the video host. I don't think you would want someone to do that to you.
Got the dies in the mail yesterday.Very disappointed. I ran it through my cuttlebug numerous times and it still didn't cut all the detail. I also ordered an album and the quality was poor.It had places on the cover where there were nicks.Love graphic 45 paper but that's about all.
Hello Linda, thank you for letting us know your feedback. Every machine can yield different results, and we're sorry to hear you are having troubles with your dies. We have received feedback that a shim can be helpful with intricate dies. Please take back any product you are not satisfied with to your point of purchase to obtain a refund or replacement. If you purchased directly from us at g45papers.com please email info@g45papers.com or call (866)573-4806 and we will gladly take care of this situation. Thank you for your support, and we hope you will be happily papercrafting shortly!
What about this music. Terrible musac. And you have so many in your design team that could show this in a much better way. This lady is more of an amateure.

Love all the tips and tricks. Love the dies!
Use a dryer sheet and rub on the die before cutting. It will help the small pieces come out easily.
Thank you Debra for watching and the helpful tip! Happy Paper Crafting!
Stunningly gorgeous die, see multiple uses for it which is a plus in my book. What a wonderful new product !!
Oh my gosh!! I have been hoping for those tag dies for a long time. And I love the clock die. So intricate.
Hello Di, yes! So happy you are excited about the new dies. We have been getting requests for years, so we are happy to finally have the products to share with our G45ers! Happy Papercrafting!

The clock die is beautiful! I love clocks and I enjoyed this video!
Thank you Chrise, for your great feedback! Happy Papercrafting!
These are awesome. Can't wait to get my hands on them.
Love these dies! Would like to see another coordinating tag die a little larger to cut the 1/8th border around the smaller one. Would save time from having to go out and buy the tags themselves.
Hello Deb! Great idea. Thank you for sharing your feedback, your request has been forwarded to our design department. Happy Papercrafting!
Oh heck yes. Nesting tag dies, so we can cut chipboard or cardstock, and a slightly smaller die for cutting the decorative paper.
Love these tag dies!
Yes! They have been so fun to play with. Thanks for the feedback.
Beautiful
Love the haircut! Great video.
