- Hello everyone! Now my secret is revealed!!! In this video I show you how to cut dies without using a die cutting machine. I do not own a machine with a big slot and I have tried cutting my big dies with many objects and this is the best of all! If you want to use your dies very often please consider investing in a die cutting machine.

Thank you for your comments!
Many people ask me if they can use a metal knife, a metal ruler, or a stone to rub on the die cuts, and I DO NOT recommend to do that because dies are metal and have a sharp edge, if you use metal or a stone to rub against your dies it will degrade the sharpness of them and eventually your dies will became dull and won’t cut anymore. You can use any hard plastic instead, since this is a softer element it will get worn, but it will preserve the life of your dies.
Have fun crafting 💕
This is one of the most brilliant crafting tips I’ve ever heard of.
This is the first time I have seen someone do this. The companies that make the machines will not be very happy with this. But, it is an amazing idea. Especially for those who cannot afford to get a machine. Who would have thought this could be done? Great idea and so helpful.
I was going to say the same thing! (hence the 39 thumbs down for those who paid big $$$$ for a machine) ha!

*** NJ ♿😀🖐 👍👍👍👍😉😂
I cannot afford to buy these expensive tools wanting to start making cards so a good idea. Thank you . Just stumbled on your channel🙏
@@ONightbird Really? We just got a used machine off Facebook Market Place for $49. Not exactly big money. It is certainly worth it and a huge time-saver if you are making cards.
This was very useful. I am a casual crafter and want to use a few REALLY simple die cuts, but didn't want to invest in the machine. I was wondering if something like this would be possible. I still think for those who want to do small flourishes, the machine makes sense but I just want simple circle, oval, square, rectangle shapes to make border cut outs. This should work fine for me. Thanks again!
I saw another person Mandy was her name use the bach end of the handle of a butter knife instead of using a bone folder - thought that was a great tip as well if you don't have a bone folder! & she also lightly sprayed a water mist over her paper with using the embossing folders & went over that with the back of a spoon to get a great effect from that as well! I'm so glad that I searched for ways to use these awesome things in my crafting without worrying about the money to spend on these machines! Thank you so much for sharing the secrets 💜😁
Great idea! If you want to take away those used ridges on your bone folder, gently rub over it with sandpaper, it may take a few times, but you will get a nice edge back that will make it last longer. xxx
I think it’s funny how many people in the comments are so shocked that this can be done by hand! 😂 ❤ There was a world of scrapbooking before these machines were being mass produced for the average consumer. The ladies I knew back in the 80’s and 90’s were absolute pro’s at cutting and embossing by hand. It’s becoming a lost art form imo! Hats off to all of you willing to learn this too. It’s a real talent in my view. Hand made and not mass produced is always better. ❤
Shut the front door! I never knew this and have passed on larger dies because I don't have a die machine to accommodate them. I also love your tip about if it doesn't cut all the way by running it through the die cut machine, to do this. I will be definitely putting these tips to work in my craft room. Thank you! Hugs, Brenda
Brenda Lawrence you and me both😋😋..
😂😂😂
And me 🤩
And me too!!!
I used this method and it definitely put nicks into the bone folder so I switched to my metal bone folder/embossing tool and what a difference with no nicks. I used to break regular plastic handled embossing tools
I bought a similar die to this one a few months ago only to realize it was too big for my machine, so this video is so perfect!
I’m also not good at paying attention to die sizes. I think this is great for big dies, but it is quite time consuming. I’ve also wondered about using a brayer with the die facing down onto a self healing cutting mat.
Honestly in such amazement watching how this can be done with SUCH MINIMAL pressure and yet the lines are absolutely “machine” clean and precise. Lol laughing at myself looking back at all the times I’ve spent struggling when there was such an easy solution! 🤣
I have used a wooden rolling pin to do this.
That was my thought
I tried that too but didn’t do the trick for me on the smaller details. I used a rock instead ha.. 🙂
Another wonderful idea!
I am in awe. Great tip. I only have one large die and I spent hours tracing and hand cutting. It worked but was very time consuming. Oh my goodness, next time I will use this method. I can't wait to share this with my friends.
You should get a medal for this idea . Watch everyone else is gonna copy this idea and say it’s their idea, you should have copy rights . Thanks for sharing who’d have thought how easy this is . Big hugs from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧
For someone like me who can't afford a die cutting machine yet thisis very helpful. Thank you for this. ❤️❤️
What a fabulous idea i have had to buy 2 machines cause my first 1 was for amall die cuts then there were sales so i bought more die cuts whic ended up larger than the machine i had so now i had to buy a bigger machine $$$ which i saw this sooner my husband would have been happier..
💝You just saved me so much money and aggravation. I ordered many die’s from Temu, then I realized I had no idea how to use them😵💫Then I went on the machine hunt, wondering if I even wanted to do this hobby enough to justify a machine? And now you have saved me. Thank you soooooooo much. I so appreciate your efforts 💝💝💝🥰😘😘😘
I’m glad this video was helpful. Remember that it works great for simple dies, it will take more time and effort for the intricate ones 💕
Sure thing this will work , the dies are essentially blades formed into shapes . Great job showing this to all who didn’t think about this before 🙋🏻♀️ !
I had *NO IDEA* die-cutting could be done this way!!! I've been wanting just a decent manual die-cutting/embossing machine for the past few years! This is AMAZING!!!
I bought big shot plus limite edition it is really amazing best machine I have ever had
At Tuesday Morning they might have the big kick for 49. My store still has 3 left since they came out in Nov.
Sandra Miranda I saw them at my Tuesday Morning too... I don’t even own a die cutting machine.. I thought of getting i5 at TM... but then I will be spending lots of money on dies...
@@robinjones394 true that but its fun 😆
Such a good tip. It will be especially useful when a die has not quite cut properly, so much easier than using shims. Thank you so much.
You get the gold medal for genius! This is such a great idea for people that have electronic die cutting machines. If the power goes out, you can still craft using dies! 👍🏼👍🏼🙌🏼🤗
That is SUCH a great idea!
I am a happy owner of a die cutting maching that can do large cutting dies and followed the link because I have some extras/doubles of regular cutting dies which I'd love to give away to friends in the neighbourhood , but they don't own a machine at all (but they all have a proper bone folder or two by now after crafting with me!). So at first I felt the title was a bit misleading, thinking this would be for extremly simple shapes, but I was wrong.
And your ideas takes all the frustration out of a cut with the machine that didn't quite work out.
Thank you, thank you!
Thanks Christy! My ancient machine finally gave out in the middle of a project I need to finish!
OMG you are a genius! Today one of my crafty friends asked if I had a die cutting machine bec she didn't have one but she bought her first die. She only uses the electronic cutting machine. Next thing I know I open TH-cam and this is the first video recommendation. Genius idea, creepy coincidence (if it can be called that lol).
Just saw this video. Such a fabulous idea! Will really help me when my machine doesn't cut out the shape all the way . Thanks so much.
From Kathy Rivera- This is a brilliant idea! Than you so much! We don't have a dyecuting machine because we can't aford one yet. You just made my day!!!🤗💖😀
This a wonderful tip. I don’t need a larger die cutting machine. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Christy, thank you for the amazing tips, especially for some of us Crafters that don't have all of our supplies and stash built up yet, Many Blessings 🌟💫
Thankyou for this tip I am just learning
Thank you for your video! My mother in law gave me some dies for Christmas, I didn't have the heart to tell her that I couldn't use them with it, but I can use them then upload them to my pc. Thank you again!
I've wondered if his method would work but never tried it. You just proved it does! I don't see why it won't work with any die cut when I'm too lazy to get out my BigShot. THANKS, CHRISTY!
What great tip. I bought a bunch of dies and when I got them I had no idea how to use them. You are such a sweetie to share your methods. Thank-Robin
what a great idea i never even thought about doing this. thanks for your video
Fascinating, Christy! Thank you!
Brilliant, Christy! Thank you very much!
Very clever! Thank you Christy!
Wow wow wow, I appreciate your showing us how to do this. Sometimes I just need to do one small cut and do not want to get my die cutter out. Also, as you say, sometimes one little part does not cut all the way through. This way will fix that trouble. Thanks muchly, Gloria
Thank you! This was a helpful video. Mixed media can be an expensive undertaking. One has to be creative and find ways to create beautiful images without spending a fortune. Well done!

That's a great idea, I have used a rolling pin to how it works, and it did ok but it needed a lot of pressure. I want to try a pasta machine.
!?! WHAT!?! I had no idea this was possible!!! Completely brilliant!!!!!
Brilliant especially for when a small section of a die doesn’t cut. Thank you!
Wow! Easy easy! Thanks for the demo.
thank you for sharing this technique.
Love this recipe idea thanks for sharing
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing! Great tutorial.
So simple yet so brilliant! Thank you so much for this tip! I appreciate it so much!
I thought the same thing. The companies who make the die cutting machines will not be pleased. This is a brilliant idea. I lost all my supplies when I was evicted 3 years ago. I had three die cutting machines. Now I have none. It is irritating. I miss making things. You just gave me a reason to go on!. Honestly. I'm going to buy myself some dies and a good bone folder and try this. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing, Christy. 🤗
