Thanks for the dryer sheet tip. Never would have thought of that..Great video
What a brilliant idea thank you for sharing.
Brilliant dryer sheet tip. Thanks beautiful cards
Thanks for this insightful video
I like the negative pieces. I'd be saving that and decoupaging that dryer sheet onto something :-) Great tip! Will try this for sure.
Wonderful!
Very pretty cards.Thank you for sharing.
Another great video from Waffle Flower (why do I often feel hungry when I see your products?). The thing you each do very well is explain what you are doing like a teacher would. Thank you 😊
Very beautiful cards, appreciated the dryer sheet hint. I personally poke each of the papers from intricate dye. Thank you, thank you.
these cards are gorgeous! thanks for sharing them and all those tips, too.
jijos Thank you so so much!! 😊
great tute! tfs
Thanks for watching!
I would have to rough cut the dryer sheet after the die cut process. Then use them as window decorations at Christmas!!!
WOW!! I had seen this done before, but don't remember where. SOO GLAD I came across your video.. I bought a new Christmas die and had a heck of a time getting it out and it ripped,so threw it out. Will try with dryer sheets. Love the cards you made. Thanks for SHARING... Happy Healthy New Year to you and family.
Glad you liked the tip! We hope it helps!
I certainly enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing
Muy, muy buen consejo 🥰, me súper encantó
Fantástico, me alegra que lo hayas encontrado útil!
Love your videos Channin. Beautiful cards - thank you for the inspiration. :-)
Roxana Carranza Thank you Roxana! Means a lot! 😊
Terrific video Channin!!! Thanks for all the helpful tips...
Try sticky dots. They work great on this type die cut.
I enjoyed your video and love the cards and technique!
Beautiful cards!
I tried the dryer sheet hack. It works great! But it does leave a residue on the die cut which I didnt care for. Love the card!
Beautiful cards and great techniques! I really like the "dryer sheets cheat!"
VERY COOL! I am just getting started with die cutting and embossing, so thanks for the helpful info!
Where I live we dont have dryersheets. So what I discovered by ”coincidence” I cleaned my die and accidentally spilled a wee bit of drying liquid in the water. Dried it of and I never connected the dots ..what I mean in this case is that nothing ever sticks on the ones I accidentally did that to. Now I get why.
Lol..
Awesome video thank you
Love the technique, I definitely will be using that! Lovely cards, they came out so beautifully!!! So grateful you shared!!!
You are so welcome!
I did the dryer sheet thing too and I love it, but that’s a lot of waste. So I tried one and it still worked well,,!
Great! So glad to hear you tried the trick.- Sunshine
they turn out beautiful, thanks for the tips! hugs Angie
This is still my favorite die in the whole world!
Barbara Lambe I know!! Can't get enough of those Lacy flowers!
Lovely cards.
Thank you Barbara!
thanks for the cuttlebug metal shim tip, I was about to give up I was so frustrated, and....I wonder who thought to try a dryer sheet for the first time 🤓
Ingenious technique and thanks for taking the time to share it. I heard it takes work to video, edit and narrates the video.
Great teacher- Love the tips!! Thanks!
Have you ever thought about using the piece of the dryer sheets (with the cut out pieces) too? I would try this .....thanks for sharing your tips!
Yeah, A7 cards!
Totally agree...wish we saw more Card Divas make them.
Wouldn't it be great if you could transfer the cutting to have 0 waste?
These are fabulous and gorgeous cards! Love the products used as those dies have a lot of beautiful detail! I can see even using these dies at Christmas time so it is great that they are versatile! I was wondering if you could share the colors and brand of all 4 card-stocks you used? I have been trying to find those exact colors for my collection, especially the blue. Thank you so much!
Bizarre & Collective Creativity Thank you! I've had a lot of those colored cardstocks in my hoard for awhile and I'm not completely sure where I got them all. Most likely they are Recollections brand which you can get at Michaels craft stores. I'm pretty sure that blue is from a pack called Cape Cod. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
🙂
Try using Micro Sticky Dots from Scrapbookingmadesimple.com on your intricate dies
Could you use wax paper and save all of the tiny pieces in place?
Hey Channin...a lot of great tips in this tutorial and the cards turned out beautiful! I was wondering, here in Canada the most popular size of cards are 5 by 7 inch. Do you purchase cardstock to create your own card bases for this size of card and if so, what size of cardstock to you get and where can I find it? Right now I purchase ready cut 5x7 but it of course is more expensive. Really appreciate an answer from anyone with respect to the above. Thanks so much for sharing Channin!
Nancy Lynn Thank you Nancy! I do use card stock to create my own card bases. I just use standard 8
Oops! 😆 I just use a standard 8 1/2" x 11" sheet, then cut it to 7" x 10" and fold it in half. So I do only get one card base from a single sheet of card stock but it doesn't bother me because I really prefer the 5x7 cards. Hope that helps. 😁
Oh, apologies, I thought the finished size of the card was five by seven and therefore, you would need a sheet of cardstock at least 10 x 14. Thanks for replying Channin....my search continues...
Nancy Lynn The finished card is 5" x 7". You only have to double one side of the card. 🙂
the same effect can be achieved with paper napkins
THANKS
Wow! Awesome technique thank you, can I ask you a question please. do you find the modge podge/ pva glue warps your card as it dries? I used pva glue and the cards warped really badly. what I am I doing wrong and how can I stop this happening? Thank you.
What a great job on this video and what a beautiful card. I also love to make a 5 x 7 cards. Or the A7 as you called them. But when I got into the stamping world everyone is making the 4.25 x 5.5 so I just sort of jumped on the bandwagon. But if I want to start making cards the size that you were doing in the video, where can I find pretty envelopes to fit them? I know I could buy white ones in bulk but all the stamp store so he's pretty metallic and bright colored envelopes for the smaller cards. Does anybody sell envelopes for the larger cards Mark thank you I also guess I could make my own with the punchboard. OK thank you. I don't know why everyone in the stamping world make such small cards when you go to the Hallmark or any drugstore, all the cards are about 5 x 7. Anyway thank you for opening up this lightbulb for me. I'm definitely going to get this die set.
D Thank you!! You should give A7 cards a try again! 😁 Lets start a A7 revolution! 😂 Right now I'm just getting my envelopes from Amazon and I'm just getting white ones. I will do some more research into colored and speciality envelopes and put together a video all about 5x7 cards and cardmaking. Also I have found envelopes at my local thrift store. I think it's because they are the standard size for commercial cards and people often have some left over. Hope that helps! 😁
Thank you, I agree! I guess I could always use white envelopes and just decorate them with my stamps. I wonder if my punchboard for envelopes will make one that big. I bet it will. In the meantime I'm going to join your revolution! Looking forward to the video you're making. Thank you When is the next waffle flower release?
FYI, I just googled colored 5 x 7 envelopes on Amazon and there are plenty of colored ones. I didn't see any metallic but I saw a lot of pretty colors. You could always spray with a shimmer mist to make a metallic. 5 x 7 is the right size envelope for an A7right? Actually that envelopes are 5.25 x 7.25 so that would fit perfect
D The new summer release will be available May 4th! And you can see sneak peeks of what's to come this week and following two weeks at Waffle Flower's blog here's the link, waffleflower.com/blogs/news 😁
Oh, I thought you guys did a monthly release? No? How often do you do one?
What brand of glitter paper are you using
Which metal shim do you use? I also have the spellbinders platinum. Spellbinders said they do not make a shim because they don't believe it is necessary because of the way their machine is made. I wondered if the sizzix precision base plate could work with the platinum but I don't want to damage my machine. Have you used a metal.shim with the platinum?
Esther Hernandez I don't use a metal shim for my Plantium machine. I have found the Plantium cuts my intricate dies very well, all I might need to to sometimes is rotate the Die and paper and run it through the machine a couple of times. I purchased the CottageCutz Universal Shim Plate Die Cuts for my Cuttlebug machine, which I owned before I got the Plantium machine. I hope that helps. 🙂
Hello! I have never used a metal shim with my Spellbinders Platinum machine and I wouldn't recommend it, I think it might damage the machine. For the most part I have zero trouble cutting intricate dies with my Platinum. If a die is giving me a little bit of grief, I just run it through a few times, rotating the die each time (make sure the paper hasn't shifted when you do this). I only use a metal shim with my Cuttlebug die cutting machine because I was unable to get good cuts with my intricate dies with this die cutting machine. Hope this helps!
Any alternatives for dryer sheet?
wax paper is also good.
Channing, since you didn't add the liquid adhesive to your list of products, I need to ask what kind you are using in that tiny little squeeze bottle?
She mentioned it was mod podge matte
Hello Mary, I used Mod Podge Matte
www.amazon.com/Mod-Podge-Darice-Original-16-Ounce/dp/B001IKES5O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1538495058&sr=8-2&keywords=mod+podge+matte&dpID=41R%252BRdloIjL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
in a precision tip glue bottle like this,

Hope that helps! :)

I have a question: when I tried this technique my paper diecut got kind of greasy. Did that not happen to you?
Hello Trix! Try "unscented" dryer sheets. I have found the scented kind contain oils and can make your paper greasy. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you for answering my question. Although it won't be of any help alas, because in the Netherlands I can't find unscented dryer sheets anywhere! :-(
Why not use the dryer sheet the first time?
Where do you get the little bottle with the narrow tip for the mod podge?
It's called a Needle Tip Applicator bottle. Just about everywhere carries them.
Nice. I am wondering which brand of glue you used? Thanks.
Sharon Gullikson I am using Mod Podge Matte finish which I put into a Darice DIY Crafts Quilled Creations Precision Tip Glue Applicator Bottle (one of my best purchases ever!). Hope that helps Sharon.🙂
Modge Podge?
Sorry Margaret, I may have mis-spoke. I used Mod Podge Matte as my adhesive. Here's a link,
