I need to pick up some more unscented dryer sheets.

Wonderful, Rachelle. I don't have the doily from hell (who makes it?) but I do have a lacy border about 4 x 6" that takes a lot of poking and a few others. I didn't even think of dryer sheets today at the supermarket and I even went down that aisle because Robin wants me to bring her Barkeeper's Friend!

It's a Sizzix Thinlits die.
Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
My dryer sheets did not work at all. The ones I bought yesterday seem to be made of softer fabric, and are juicier than the Arm and Hammer brand that she was using in the video. So I guess it's back to the pokey tool!
These just made the cardstock damp and heavily scented. It reminded me of my Auntie Win's two expressions, either "ooh what a pretty pong" or "smells like a tart's boudoir".

Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
You know I use the combination of dryer sheets and the non stick foil. That works much better than just the dryer sheets.

So glad I wasn't taking sip of coffee when I read that! You definitely need to use the unscented ones and probably the cheaper the better, even if you have to use an extra one because they're usually thinner.katymjo wrote:My dryer sheets did not work at all.

Maybe we need to send a care package to Kathryn.
I hope I never forget those expressions. You never know when the appropriate occasion will arise...

Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
so... I'm going to pick up some cheaper dryer sheets... maybe.... I use the fragrance free Bounce ones.... and I'm still using that initial folded 4 sheets ... and I did lots of die-cutting... so I may decide to stick with this brand and just buy extras for the laundry ... why mess with success.. right?

Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
I wouldn't have even bought this die (even on sale) before testing the dryer sheet process and knowing how well it works! So.... I got this brick pattern die and just wanted to add a little texture to this layout. Not sure I'm thrilled with my paper choice (and sorry about the shadow on the layout) but... wanted to give it a try and see if it even worked. It popped out of that die like a charm!!

Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
that's a cool die, but it's even cooler how you used it on that layout!
Re: Dryer sheets and die cutting
I tried the dryer sheets and it works on most of mine
