Die Cutting: A Beginner’s Guide


arts, crafts, die cutting

Cricut. Spellbinder. Silhouette. Brother. Sizzix. Do any of these brands sound familiar to you, or do your friends mention using these? All of them are brand names of die cutting machines. Obviously, each brand has several different models, and maybe you are just dipping your toes into the die cutting pool. Maybe you want to create your own Christmas cards, birthday cards, wooden signs, or scrapbook pages. Well, here are some tools that you might consider having on hand as you start your crafting.

1. A die cutting machine

Now there are all kinds of machines, but the first thing you will need to decide is if you want an electric machine or manual machine. The electric machine would require software that has images that you can either purchase and/or download to your machine which will cut your design for you. A manual machine will require you to purchase die (see point below) and hand-crank your designs through the machine. Both options have their pros and cons. Your choice should depend on cost, what type of project you are creating, and how often you plan to use it.

2. Paper

The most common type of paper used with die cutting machines is cardstock. It is a very versatile and clean-cutting material. You can purchase it in different colors and thicknesses, depending on what type of project you are working on. 

Other types of paper include vellum and vinyl. Vellum is a somewhat transparent, delicate paper. Essentially, whatever is behind it will show through. Vinyl is another type of paper that die cut machines use. It is mostly used for making signs, including the wood signs that are so popular currently. You can make the sign using vinyl and attach the vinyl right to your wood or metal sign, or you can keep the negative of the vinyl and paint the quote on the wood or metal.

3. Dies

Dies are the metal cutting implements that actually cut your paper. If you are using a manual die cutting machine, you will need to purchase dies with designs in them so that they will punch out the design onto your paper. These are placed on the paper and either stamped or rolled over with your manual machine to create the impression on the paper.

An electronic die has blades on it that freeform cut the design into the paper. While this might seem easier, these blades will have to be replaced.

As far as what types of dies you should look to use, you should look for many generic designs to begin. Look for floral designs, traditional shapes, lacy designs, and even die with quotes on them. Think about what type of designs and projects you plan to complete and get a variety of different dies to add to your collection.

If you feel like trying your hand at it, or if you want something truly unique, you can even try to create your own dies, as you can see here. This would be a great option for bigger dies or ones that you cannot find in the store. 

4. Accessories

While the die cutting machine and die are the essential parts to the process, there are also tools that will help make it all work more smoothly.

A hand blade is the first tool on this list. These can help poke out designs that didn’t cut all the way through the paper or even just popping stubborn patterns out of the paper. 

Another very handy tool would be a cutting pad. These come in different sizes and types, even self-healing. You place the pad under your paper as it goes through the machine, then the blades don’t tear up the machine or the table it sits on. 

Lastly, on the useful tool list would be some type of writing utensil and tape or glue. The writing utensil would be beneficial if you needed to draw your own design or plan your project. The tape or glue would help you put your project together.

That’s it! Now that you’ve read a little about the process behind die cutting, go get started on your first project!

Matthew Andrei's First Holy Communion


More than two weeks ago, our little boy received his first Holy Communion. But before that let me share some kwento. 

I took a leave from work that day. Daddy can't make it since he had a prior commitment he can't cancel. So solo parent ako. Anyway, Matthew's class was suspended to have ample time to prepare for their Holy Communion that is scheduled later that day. To not waste our time, I let him review his lessons since 3rd quarter exam na the following week.


After reviewing, I cooked our lunch. Oh, should I say I fry our lunch, which is tinapa from Nueva Ecija.


The clock ticks so fast that after eating our lunch, my little boy was rushing me to dress up. Malalate na daw sya. So here, we were able to make it on time naman. 


Ang bait lang nya tingnan hindi ba? Well, he did behaved the whole time since he was chosen as one of the children who will read the gospel.


Here's our little boy with the rest of the children who will read the gospel.


It was so hard to take photos because he was at the side of the altar.


Also, there's an official photocgrapher para daw hindi magulo though I still manage to take some photos after they finished receiving their first Holy Communion.


I also took a photo with Father Roger (but I am not sure of his name, please forgive me father) who gave his first Holy Communion.


I almost cried when I saw him received the body of Christ. Because almost 8 years ago, in that same spot he was baptized.


He was a big 6-month old baby when he was baptized but look at him now, he's a big 8-year old boy


Our little boy is growing so fast. The next thing thing I know, I will be attending his wedding na. So, how can I not be emotional? I have all the right to be, right? Haha.


So this is another important mommy story I would like to share. Maybe I will be sharing less na since my little is growing and sometimes he wants his privacy.  

How do you deal with feelings like this mommies? 'Till next mommy story!

6 Things You Should Know About Dieting


Dieting is often a main goal at some point in life. Whether or not it is for health reasons, people consider dieting in the hopes of improving their life by losing weight or toning up. And because of that, a lot of us would often find these ‘secret’ ways to lose weight or build strong muscles. Oftentimes, people would advise you to exercise more and eat less. And while there is truth to those claims, dieting is much broader than we think. There is so much to know and you’d find that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to it.

health, fitness, healthy diet, dieting, losing weight, tips for losing weight,
photo source

Here are 6 things you should know about dieting.

1.    There’s a certain amount of calories you should consume in a day so you won’t starve.

Starving yourself will do you no good. While you think it will give you the results you wanted now, it can lead to a lot of problems in the future. So you need to make sure that when you are adopting a diet, you need to consume at least 1200-1500 calories per day to get enough nutrients, vitamins, and minerals in your body.

2.    You don’t necessarily have to avoid certain foods to lose weight.

There is actually no food that can cause weight gain. It’s all about how much calories you have consumed and not the restriction of certain foods. If you avoid particular foods, it may lead you to crave even more and end up eating more of it instead. For example, you don’t need to get rid of sweets all your life. You can always have sweets if you want to but the key here is moderation. If you want to lose weight, cut your food consumption instead into small portions.

3.    You don’t need to be hungry all the time to lose some weight. 

When it comes to dieting, you need to make sure you don’t go hungry all the time so you can stick to a healthy diet plan. If you want to avoid eating all the time, try to choose foods instead that will make you feel full in a longer span of time. If you are still on the search for the best diet plan for you, you can also read some mayo clinic diet reviews

4.    Not all supplements are not exactly proven to effectively help one’s diet.

It all depends on the person. Some people will find supplements to be effective, while others don’t. But the truth is; most supplements are not entirely proven effective. Eat healthily instead and do regular exercise.

5.    Dieting alone can help you lose weight.

Technically, if you reduce the number of calories you consume, it will lead to weight loss. But it is always a good idea to pair it with exercise to preserve your metabolism and strengthen your body.

6.    Sugar-free gums don’t exactly help in burning calories.

While these products can trigger weight loss, it’s not exactly something that will sustain it in a long time. If you really want to lose some pounds, change your diet and move your body.

4 Tips to Buying Chocolate in Bulk


Buying anything in bulk is a little scary for retailers and individuals who choose to buy chocolate in a local supermarket. Before buying anything in bulk, the reasons for the purchase need to be of priority. Are you buying the chocolate to supply to bakers? Are you buying for a chocolatier? Understanding your market is a great place to begin when buying wholesale chocolate chips from Santa Barbara Chocolate.

chocolates, food,

Buy where you can get a variety of chocolates

When buying in bulk, it would be best to buy all your chocolate from one place. You will likely get a significant discount if your purchase reaches a threshold that gives you the bargaining power. Find a supplier who has all the chocolate types your clients prefer. If dark chocolates, white chocolate chips, and milk chocolates are a favorite in your shop, getting them from the same supplier makes more sense. Besides the price, it is easier to build a cordial relationship when you use the same supplier, as long as you still get a high quality of chocolate.

Compare prices against the quality of chocolate

Before you settle for bulk chocolate purchases with any particular supplier, do a little window shopping. If you are starting your business, you need to find out where you can get chocolates in bulk at the best price possible. It would be best if you also found out the quality of their chocolates. You can do this by seeing what people are saying about the chocolates from the brand you are interested in. This way, you maximize your profits while delivering quality to your clients.

What do your clients buy?

Before buying chocolate in bulk, find out what your clients love and what does not sell well. You do not want to buy, for example, dark chocolate in bulk when most of your clients buy white and milk chocolates. If you are trying to include variety to your collection of chocolates, for your first purchase, buy enough for clients to try out but not too much that you will be left with plenty of chocolates should it not sell as well as you had hoped. 

Find out what’s trending

This is very critical in business. Remember, your clients also love to know what is trending. Is there a new chocolate flavor that you would like to try? For organic chocolate lovers, is there anything new you should introduce to them? If you are to be a trendsetter and a leading chocolate seller, you need an update of everything chocolate. You can be sure your clients will be looking out for the same, and they rely on you to deliver. 

Whether you are in the business of buying and selling chocolate, a baker, or you enjoy your chocolate and prefer buying it in bulk, you need to be confident of the quality of the chocolate. You would not want to be stuck with bulk poor quality chocolate. You can also network with other bulk chocolate purchasers and find out what companies they are using and why. Research is essential before making any bulk purchases.

4 Resources that can Help You Stay Healthy


health, fitness, health resources, health apps, fitness apps, mobile apps,

It's almost time to bid this year goodbye and welcome the new year that is coming. You're probably beginning to write down the goals that you want to achieve and one of them is to be more healthy in the new year. This is something that everyone wants, what with the rising cost of getting hospitalized or even just going for a consult with a doctor. The good thing is that there are many resources you can go to that can help you stay on your track to a healthier life. Here are some resources along with a great website, bestpricenutrition.com, that can help you stay healthy.

1. Professionals - first and foremost, while there is a lot of information you can read on the internet or from magazine articles or books, these should not be your only source of information. There may be many things we can learn online, but do note that some information may have been falsified. So before you take a new supplement that you saw on TV or read about on the internet, try to check and verify all that you have read. Talk to a health professional; if you already have a doctor, make sure that you advise them that you are planning to try a new medicine or treatment and see what they have to say about it.

2. NutritionFacts.org - one of the best ways to stay healthy is to change your diet and eat more healthy meals. But again, make sure that whatever you read online must be from an expert source. This website was started by a physician who specializes in clinical nutrition so you can be sure that articles are well-researched and based on scientific facts. He not only posts articles but also videos. You will find information on the latest scientific discoveries about the food we eat, but also tips on what foods to eat for different types of diseases. there's even a section where the doctors and dietitians can answer your questions.

3. LocalHarvest App - one good way of eating healthy is to stick to locally grown food and staying away from junk food and processed food. This app lets you type the area where you want to shop for food, and you can type the specific food that you are looking for. You will then be given a list of the nearest farm, farmers' market, etc. What's great is that you will see detailed descriptions of what you can find at these places, what they sell and even activities that they offer. For those who cannot get out of the house, you can also do some online shopping.

4. MyFitness Pal - looking for a way to track your diet and progress? This app not only counts calories but can help you with a diet plan if your goal is to lose weight. You can log in everything you eat to see just how much calories you are eating and adjust your diet from there. You can also log in your exercise regime in the app.

5 Tips to Preparing Your Home to be Sold


Do you have a home that you want to sell? In what condition is it? How long do you think it will take to sell it? There are many factors that can determine how much you will sell your home. One of the best ways to sell your home quickly and at a price that you love is by preparing it for the market. As such, you want to make sure that your home does not have any flaws that could turn away potential buyers. You can visit https://getlistedrealty.com/  website to more.

We shall discuss a few tips that can guide you on how to make your house ready for sale. With these tips, it should take you little time and bargaining to have your house off the market.

home, home for sale, realty

Here are 5 tips to consider when preparing your home to be sold:

1. Paint your home

Painting is not expensive. It will go a long way in making the rooms look bigger, and allow the buyers to visualize how they want to utilize the space. For you to paint the home, you have to remove things from the house and also patch up any holes in the walls. This is also a good way of preparing the home for sale. Painting makes the whole home look brighter and new, something that will help you market and sell it.

2. Staging the home

Staging refers to making your home available for viewing by potential buyers. This means that the buyers will come to your home to view it and consider it. A home that is staged can decrease its time in the market by over 50% and increase its value by 7%. As such, you should consider this option. Ensure that you have arranged your furniture in an appealing manner. Clean the home and ensure that all sorts of cluttering is done away with. Make the home look bright, clean, seem big and also ensure it smells nice. This appeal to the human senses is a great way to get your home off the market in a short time.

3. Thoroughly clean your home

You should make sure that the home is thoroughly cleaned. A prospective buyer will not go beyond your living room if the house is dirty and not appealing. Your bathrooms, the carpets, the counters, fans, and all the other accessories should be well cleaned for the best appeal. You should also ensure that everything is arranged in its place. All unnecessary items should be stored to give way for a clean and comfortable home. When every part of the home is clean and smelling good, you can be assured that potential buyers will be pleased to make offers.

4. Curb Appeal!

You should think of curb appeal. How does the outside of the home look? How appealing is the compound? For you to achieve the best in curb appeal, ensure the grass is properly mowed. All shrubs should be trimmed and trees, if any, should be well trimmed and appealing. Keep your gutters clean. Clean after your pet’s mess and ensure that all the parts of the compound are appealing.

5. Do any minor repairs

If there are repairs to be done, then this should be done early enough before the home is put up for sale.   Fix any leaking faucets; fix any doors and generally, all the parts of the home should be well done before you do the staging. In essence, your home needs to look perfect for you to attract the best bids.

security system, business, home and business monitoring products, CCTV camera

The Top Four Tips to Help You Get the Security System You Need for Your Business

Here are four tips to help you select the right security system for your business.

1.    Access Controls

It is one of the most significant features to look out for in the perfect security system. The system that you select must have the option to allow who can access its settings and other functionalities.

One of the latest advancement is to access your camera with the help of your phone. This way you can access your recordings while you are away. Many systems today also have a monitoring system that gets in touch with you as soon as a break-in or a casualty arises. This way you can stay away without any fear.

Companies charge a certain sum of money to provide these services. Make sure that you understand the costing element up front to avoid paying indefinite amounts of money later.

2.    Choosing the Right Feature

With so many options available, it all depends on what features your business would prefer. Does your organization function late in the night? Are night vision cameras required for round the clock surveillance? Is your security system capable of sensors such as flooding, thundering or smoke?

Even if your business is involved in the storage of large amounts of data, a proper security system needs to be in place. Hence, choose what is best for you.

3.    Camera Quality and Wiring

Invest in cameras that are high quality and record proper footage. You do not want to get a blurry image of the culprit. It can be expensive, but it is fantastic.

The wiring of the security system can be a perfect way for the burglars to identify the connections and hamper them before looting the organization. Go for wireless security systems when possible, and ones that record videos in high definition. 

4.    Growth in Business

If you want your business to continue for an extended period and grow significantly, you may have to make an appropriate decision on the security system. If you wish to move out of your current location in a few years, use a system which would be beneficial to you. It positively influences your decision and mindset.

These four tips will help ensure that you have a foolproof security system in place, and one that isn’t going to be easy to get past.

3 Tips to Choosing the Right Humidifier on a Budget


humidifier, home, home and living, health, family

When outdoor temperatures drop, the humidity inside your home can quickly turn from pleasant to parch. The level of comfort in our homes depends on the level of humidity. Humidity is also a factor in our health. Nevertheless, excessive moisture is harmful. Over-humidification facilitates the growth of bacteria, mold, and dust mites. You need the right temperature in the house. Instead of toying with a thermostat to find the right temperature, buy a humidifier. There are several units in the market to fit your budget and needs. If you are looking for a humidifier to stabilize the temperatures in your home, follow these tips to choose the right one.

1. Know the types

Generally, there are two types of humidifiers: warm mist and cool mist. They use different processes, but they both add moisture to the air. Choosing between these types is a matter of personal preferences. The prices for both types range from $45 to $170. Make sure that you select a model that is easy to clean. If you do not wash your humidifier regularly, it can harbor bacteria. There is a third type called the whole-house humidifier. However, in-duct or furnace humidifiers are the best if you have a forced-air heating system and want to humidify the whole house. The humidifiers need professional installation since you have to tap them into the air ducts and plumb them into the main water supply.

2. Choose by size

Indoor humidity should be around 30 to 50 percent. Without a humidifier, that level can drop to 10 percent in winter. Measure the square footage of the room to determine the size that you need. Based on the size, you can choose from several humidifier styles. Think about the noise, trade-offs in efficiency, and convenience. For small and medium rooms, portable humidifiers are the least expensive. However, they have a small tank that requires frequent refills. Larger rooms need the console models. Console models are larger than portable humidifiers, but you can carry them from one place to another. Console humidifiers generate a lot of moist air. For extra-large rooms, a quiet ultrasonic console model is the best. Alternatively, you can choose an evaporated model, but you need to place it away from sleeping areas. Evaporative models are louder than ultrasonic models.

3. Price and Cost

Many people only look at the initial price and base their entire budget on that. You need to estimate the maintenance and operation cost. Humidifiers are energy-efficient, but they need regular cleaning and a monthly filter change. The operational price is also cheap. Most humidifiers come with a humidistat. The humidistat shuts off when it reaches a preset humidity level. Humidifiers without a humidistat require you to buy a separate hygrometer to monitor humidity levels. Some models also allow you to set an “on time.” You can set the humidifier to start at a specific time. However, remember to dry the humidifier thoroughly between uses.

A humidifier is the best way to keep superior comfort in your home.

In order not to have an unpleasant experience, the dentists from Arlington VA Dentist share with the things you have to be careful with when choosing a clinic.

The dentist does not ask for a medical history
Although at first glance it may seem irrelevant, for a dentist who is a perfect professional should be. Knowing the diseases, you suffer from, or the substances to which you are allergic allows it to carry out proper and effective treatment.

Also, before any surgery, the dentist should ask for a new panoramic dental radiography not older than six months or recommend a new one. Some conditions can not be directly observed by examination, but require an overview.

The dental clinic uses obsolete technology
Dental film radiography is a long-awaited technology! Now, performing clinics perform digital radiographs that allow for the detection of conditions that can not be identified on classical radiography. Moreover, digital X-ray shows a much lower radiation level and a much faster time to perform. In dental clinics, dental radiography is done in just 9 seconds, through which any dentist can see in detail the structure of the teeth and the existing problems.

The medical staff is not careful about hygiene standards
Clearly you do not want your dentist to look for the utensils through the cabinets or the necessary materials with the same gloves they are going to do the treatment within your mouth! You also need to be attentive to the tools he uses.

All instruments are stored in special bags, which are unsealed in front of patients, and then placed in an autoclave where the actual sterilization takes place at a very high temperature. Ask your dentist if they use this method of sterilization, as most bacteria disappear only at very high temperatures.

The dentist does not use dig in treatments
Diga is not a very new technique; it has been invented since 1864. However, many dentists do not use it, although it plays a significant role in modern dentistry. This foil protects the patient and facilitates proper treatment while maintaining the dry area. Click here.

You are not advised to consult for oral cancer
At each visit or at least once every six months, the dentist should examine the oral cavity to see if there are signs of oral cancer. Although not so well-known, the number of cases has increased significantly over the past years. The examination involves looking for lesions or white or red stains on soft tissues.

The clinic calls for the aggressive promotion
Of course, advertising is necessary for this area, but when you notice that the clinic you are interested in offers far too much discounts on every occasion, you should ask yourself a question mark. The reason may be that they are focused on attracting new customers because the services provided by dentists have not been satisfactory for old patients.

The dentist does not have case law
Of course, it would be absurd to have only the cases solved by the dentist on the cabinet walls, but when it comes to aesthetic treatment, he should be willing to show you the facts he had previously treated. The doctor must be proud of his work. If you are not happy with the results, it would be best to ask for a second opinion.

You're only treated as a set of teeth
Although you are in a cabinet to solve your dental problems, you should never be met with "open mouth." A good dentist will make you feel comfortable and will discuss dental issues with you before moving on to work. At the same time, it is important to consult closely before making decisions as each patient is different, has other needs and, of course, other treatment options.

Here are just some of the things that should make you think when you choose your dentist and the clinic where you want to be treated. Of course, these issues do not have to discourage you. In the market, there are many competent dentist doctors, and nothing should interfere with your decision to get a pleasant smile.


Dentists advise patients to clean the implants after each meal or at least twice a day. Brushing is done in the same way as natural teeth. After brushing, it is essential for the patient to use the dental floss or mouthpiece, a device that cleans excellent areas that are hard to reach. In some cases, interdental brushes or conical tips are also handy for removing food debris.
