thanks for all the videos:)

As always, I love your videos! I've thought about purchasing the markers and maybe I should... but one thing I love about the Pazzles, is that people can do a "stitched" look to images. I wish the Expression could do that. :)

A when inserting the markers: If a person is nervous about marking their Expression, simply place a small scrap of paper under your blade housing BEFORE you insert the marker. This way, if you drop or accidentally "drag" the marker, it will mark the paper and not your machine. You can then remove the paper. :)

Thanks for the video, Robyn!

Jennifer said...

What a great technique! I've had the markers for a while now but somehow the thought of drawing the image then cutting it out never crossed my mind! Thank you so much!

Robyn said...

Thanks for the great tip Ted!

Annette said...

Thanks for all your videos. They have been very helpful.

ROBYN, Great video as always. You can also use the pazzle pen tool with staples mini gel pens. This is great for using the center cut and writing a message in or on your cards. Have a great week, Lisa
I have to do this as anonymous as it won't let me put in my password.

Tawnya said...

Thanks Robyn. But 5:00 am? You should probably get some more sleep! Silly girl.

Mary R said...

Thanks Robyn for the marker video. I have them and still unsure on how to use them.

Great tip Ted!!

Hi:
Thank you. I was just sitting here watching all your videos and hoping you would do one with the markers. I could not get mine to work they way I wanted. Now I know what I was doing wrong. THANK YOU! Thank you also for all the work you do in making these videos I have learned so much.

Thanks so much for this video...I have the markers and have never used them, but this was a huge inspiration! Something else I thought about was to run the finished basketball cut thru the Cuttlebug machine with the Mesh or Tiny Bubbles embossing folder to give the basketball the texture like a real one!

Hey Robyn, thanks so much for all your videos. My boyfriend is buying me an expression for my birthday. It's due to be here on Wednesday! I am so excited! I'm like a kid waiting for Chrismas! I've watched all your videos. And because I have dial-up it takes about 30 minutes to load the whole 5 min video! So I load, play solitaire, then replay it and watch it all at once. As you can see it takes me quite a long time to watch 1 video... I should be in Guiness book of records for something! lol But it's worth the wait, because I've learned so much. I won't be nervous using it for the first time. Keep them coming, we're getting a new computer soon, so my wait won't be quite as long!Thank you so much!

Thanks, great video. I'm going off to try it with paper pups now.

Kit said...

As always another wonderfully informative video Robyn.
I love your tutorials and the friendly and easy to understand way in which you present your ideas is fabulous. I look forward to the next installment :)

I have had the pens lingering in my cupboard for a little while and I havent used them yet but I am now inspired.

Best Wishes Kit x

Great video as always. I love the markers and tips always help. I love it that you don't take out your mistakes. It makes me feel a lot better knowing someone else has a goofy moment every now and then. All your videos are awesome!! Thanks and I hope you do the DVD!!

Laura said...

Thanks Robyn-I haven't used my markers forever...thanks for the reminder.
I used them tonight with an icon (fit to page) from my new WC cart and used it as a background page for a scrapbook....looks great! Thanks for the inspiration!

Britten said...

THANK YOU for showing the markers!! I have an unopened pack that came with my E and now that I know what to do with them, I'm going to open them up and try them out!

Thanks....as always!!! You are a GEM! You have single-handedly shown me how to get so much more use out of my Bugs and carts!! Not to mention all of the buying I end up doing after watching one of your videos. PC should be paying you big bucks!!!

Another great video! I've struggled and struggled to figure out the markers and now I know what I was doing wrong! I was unloading my mat and then it never lined up just right again. THANK YOU!!!! You're awesome!

TheKatsWhiskers said...

Great video as always Robyn :) I LOVED the applause at the end, it made me laugh out loud :) If all your fans cheered, it would be way louder though ;)

AT Home Ink said...

Thank you so much Robyn! My hubby just gave me some markers to try, and thanks to your video, I'm going to give them a whirl! I LOVE your videos and have learned so much. You're the best!

Tanya said...

Well Robyn.. you are surely and enabler. I have been pondering those markers for some time now and of course.. I gotta have them. Hubby loved the video and can't wait till "WE" try it. Not only do I get markers, but a partner in crime. Thanks lady.. you ROCK!!

Mona L. Pendleton said...

Great tutorial! Thank you so much for demonstrating this. I have not used my markers yet, now I feel a little bit better.

ChicagoCricutGirl said...

Great video Robyn. Like one of your other comments posted I too agree that I am glad that you do not take out the mistakes in your videos. It does make me feel like we are not alone in our mistakes and only human. Keep up the videos and thank you for sharing them with us. I do look forward to them!

MollyPeckham said...

What an awesome video. I just got my big E, and haven't done the markers as of yet, but now I want to try! Thanks so much for the wonderful video!

Theresa said...

That "load paper" button tip just rocked my world! Thanks so much!!!

thetachigurl said...

Robyn I tried this. I followed your instructions exactly and it did not work. I was making a title for a scrapbook page and I used my marker first then I went to cut out the title and my blade didn't follow my marker lines. What did I do wrong? Can you only do this with images and not letters? Please help! Thanks Jennifer
