Thankfully, all of my crafting stuff thus far from Temu has been pretty awesome .... going to get more, in fact, I'm hooked, and I can have fun without breaking the bank 😊
I ordered stamps, diecuts, hot foil plates, embossing folders, and stencils from Temu, and I have not been disappointed in any of them. To me, the quality is just as good as the high priced brand name items. I will continue to buy from Temu for my craft supply needs! ❤
I agree! And I love their easy return policy. If you do get something you don’t like or that doesn’t work. It’s a win-win for me. 😁Thank you so much for commenting. 🫶🏻
That’s awesome! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed, but the have free returns if you do get something you’re not happy with. Be sure to use my code in the description to get 30% off your first order. Happy shopping.😁
Thank you for showing dies that cut and do not. Ive purchased many and if I knew in advance it would of been helpful. So thank yoy for taking your time for us. ❤😊
Jeannie, thank you so much for watching and commenting. So glad you found it helpful. I don’t know if you saw it or not but I did a previous Teemu craft haul where I tried out non-Christmas related dies as well. So far it’s been a really positive experience with their dies and stamps. Hope you’re finding that as well!
Loving Temu. The prices are perfect. I find the brand names so over priced. I’ve not had a problem with any dies or stamps. The blending brushes are great too
Liked watching your video. I have been scrapbooking and making cards for about 22 years...not that I'm a pro...lol I've ordered from different companies and since I've been shopping with Temu, thought I'd try theirs being that they are considerably less expensive. Haven't tried it all yet but from what I have, like them. I also found when I use my Misti or Stamparatus, the stamps work much better. Actually, alot of the things come from China anyway so I don't have any issues. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, I try not to get in the middle of the "china" debate. :) To each his own. Girl, I'm no pro either...sometimes wonder what the heck I was thinking having a youtube channel, but I do love it and especially love learning from others who are more experienced like yourself! I haven't used my Misti in years probably. Going to dusts it off now! Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and tips!
I have the same set that you said wouldn't cut. Just add an extra layer of cardstock or a metal plate used for die machines and it will give your machine extra cutting pressure. Mine cut great after I added an extra piece of cardstock between the plates.
Yes…depends on the age of ones “platforms” I got the Sizzix switch last year & the pressure can be too much at times.🤦🏻♀️ I’ve had my big shot for YEARS…but use a piece of paper or cardstock…if it doesn’t do the trick…let them know. Have too much fun❣️
I have been pleased by my Temu card making purchases with one exception. Be aware that background dies are slightly larger than the stand 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 card. I'm not sure why and it drives me crazy. If you are considering one that has a border/can't be cut down neatly to size, I suggest checking the size carefully before purchasing.
While I love looking at craft haul videos I don’t put much weight on whether a die cuts out well or not. What most people don’t realize is that all cutting machines whether manual or electric will not perform exactly the same. Not even with dies that come from the same manufacturer. I have two manual machines and 2 electronic and the sandwich for each one is different. the oldest one I own is a big kick, now known as a big shot and it’s 20 years old. It’s on its last leg; I use my machines a lot and the big kick just needs extra shims to cut crisp. It is what it is. That’s the thing; the rollers that press the dies into your paper CAN WEAR OUT. The cutting plates will also be a factor. The only time I’ll complain about a die not cutting is if I can tell that it just wasn’t manufactured properly and then I’ll let the company whether it’s Ali, Temu or a local company know.
There’s always going to be some good ,some bad with craft dies from Temu I have found. Since we are getting such low prices the quality of the metal isn’t as well made in the design of the dies that are intricate I find. The stamps I have brought from Temu have stamped well, I did buy a birthday verse stamp , and when I got it , the words were spelt wrong.
Thank you for showing us your results, so we can know which dies work and which ones are not so great. The die you did not know what it was, I believe is called a specimen die.
Yes, a specimen die! Thank you! I’ve gotten quite a few suggestions on how to potentially get it to cut well, so I’m anxious to give that a try. I will post an update on how it goes. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.🫶🏻
I think you may have better luck with those tiny word dies that are Tim Holtz type style ones. If you were to cut them all apart, they might cut better and I also think they’re meant to be used in the negative not necessarily to use the letters that have been cut out. I thought they were super cute with the letters still in the paper though too. I have a Gemini Jr that I use most of the time, but ended up getting a Sizzix sidekick for those tiny little things that were a pain to run through a big die machine.
Thanks so much for the tips! I think I’ll try cutting them apart and giving it another shot. Didn’t think to use the negatives! Can’t wait to see if I can actually make them work for me now! I’ll do a follow up video if so! Thanks so much!
Hi Donna, pretty sure Stampin’ Up! has no problem with me promoting their products. 😁 Also, I am in my rights to show any company’s logo as long as it’s for editorial and/or informational purposes. Which is what I do in my videos…inform! Thanks for watching!
Have you tried running your die’s thru the cutter with waxed paper? Makes things a lot easier. Also, do you ever use a shim for dies that don’t cut too well?
Good for you! The stamps and dies they sell are all stolen from other legit companies. Including Stampin’Up!, Honey Bee Stamps,… China uses forced labor of adults and children. Because they sell direct to the consumer they do not have to pay the import tax every one else does. It’s so sad because this is damaging our economy even more. I refuse to be a party to any of it. I’m glad you didn’t get any push back for your comment because I always do LOL. Blessings!❤
Cher, Thank you for taking your time to review these dies. Honest information about products we paper crafters use is always valuable. However, temu is a Chinese company and my feeling is that I do not want to support China in any way. These Chinese companies undercut our U.S.-made products which support our companies and our workers. The additional cost pays for the living wage that we pay workers and the working conditions they have. No, thank you, to China’s products.
@@mwhite663 That is a problem; however, stamps and dies by Stampin up, Tim Holtz, Sizzix, etc are designed by those companies who then contract with Chinese companies. Designers like Seth Apter and Dina Wakely get their due. Taxes are paid in America by those companies. If you look, you will find products made in the US. If you buy used stamps and dies on eBay, an American seller gets some profit. I didn’t always care so much, but now I see China as an evil empire of thieves. It’s OUR job, our duty, to do the right thing. 🇺🇸 This applies to Canada, Australia, France, etc. If you buy on eBay, filter to buy in your own country. Thanks for listening.
It sounds like you have a problem with little pieces. Perhaps you should ONLY order larger dies? You would probably have an easier time with your organizational skills that way also. Its o.k. to be overwhelmed with smaller pieces. I use a mental shim with my cutting machine .I bought this from temu.I have NO problems with their dies. Perhaps its the sandwich you use or...your machine? So sorry you sound so DOWN in your video. Try to cheer up and wishing you a better day.
Temu things u get what u pay for and lots of die cuts on eBay and other site sell the same items but cost alot more. U need to do less talking because it gets boring I can't watch for long because of this 👎👎👎👎

I love Temu, the products are good and the customer service is excellent.
Enjoyed your demos. Always good to see how the stamps and dies work.
Thanks so much! Don't know what I was thinking with those teeny tiny letter/number dies! 🤔 Too much work!🤪
I'm a Temu addict, so I'm loving your haul! And thank you for the demo. ❤
Yaass! Fellow addict and crafter! Thanks so much for watching! Popping over to subscribe to your channel!
Thank you for the truth in stamping. I've had that problem with other stamps. Truly enjoyed your sharing about the dies also. Good job.
I always wanted to try Temu but was apprehensive about it, I am so happy I watched this video and will sign up for your channel.🥰

Love hearing this! I gotta try the blending brushes! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting! 🫶🏻
Surprised at how crisp and clean those stamped images are.
I know! Very impressive for the (cheap) price! 😁
Liked watching your video.

The small “specimen” words & numbers fit inside one the the small rectangle dies. I’ve been very happy with their stamps. TFS❣️
Thanks for letting me know that! Were you able to get the little words to cut cleanly through?
Yes…depends on the age of ones “platforms” I got the Sizzix switch last year & the pressure can be too much at times.🤦🏻♀️ I’ve had my big shot for YEARS…but use a piece of paper or cardstock…if it doesn’t do the trick…let them know.
Have too much fun❣️
Are the words supposed to be Embossed and not cut.
The letters cut out. I only had 1 letter in a word not fully cut out.
Place a used dryer sheet between die and paper and cutouts will pop right out!
What?! Love it when I learn something new! Thank you so much for sharing!
Try using bubble wrap with the dies that don't cut.
you and I like similar things. Agree with you on the dies and several if the stamps did not print well. Good video
Thanks, Kathy! Love finding new ‘crafting’ kindred spirits! 😊 Thanks for watching!
Love your voice. very pleasant.
Aw, so sweet of you to say! Thanks so much for watching!! 🫶🏻
Thank you!
I'm so glad your video popped up. I just subscribed.
So happy you’re here, Dianne! Thanks so much for subscribing and saying hi! Welcome!!

Agree! My Gemini Jr which is electric cut the dies so much better than my Big Shot! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
The second piece with the file folder index card is to resemble an old picture slide.

The stamps I have brought from Temu have stamped well, I did buy a birthday verse stamp , and when I got it , the words were spelt wrong.
Looks like you might need to use an extra shim or two with the tiny letters that go with the file tabs - if you wanted to use them.

I have that vintage postage stamp set. Ive had it for many years but don’t remember where i got it.
Oh wow, that’s interesting. I’m sure Temu copied it from the original source…whoever that was! 😁 Appreciate you watching!

World stamp will stamp better if you roll it down on to the block…… you had air bubbles behind that’s why bits were missing!
Oooh, never heard of air bubbles behind stamps! Can’t wait to try this! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. ❤️
Have you tried running your die’s thru the cutter with waxed paper? Makes things a lot easier. Also, do you ever use a shim for dies that don’t cut too well?
I have never tried that! Good to know! Thanks so much for sharing!
I am the one that has avoided Temu.

The only problem is that most of the dies and stamps we have available are manufactured in China.

Sounds like your "EATING WORMS" AS MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WOUD SAY. We are all entitled to our opinion. I Love TEMU! (My opinion.)
👏 "Promo SM"

I won't buy craft items from TEMU, the ones I bought were crappy quality. Also, they steal patented designs, and I do not want to support that.
Temu things u get what u pay for and lots of die cuts on eBay and other site sell the same items but cost alot more. U need to do less talking because it gets boring I can't watch for long because of this 👎👎👎👎
