As the title says, today I have a TIP to share with you.
For my card today I wanted to cut a Garden Green leafy frame and fill it with a cut piece of Designer Series Paper.
My first tip is to use ADHESIVE SHEETS because it makes it so much easier, and less sticky, than using Multipurpose Glue.
The first time I made this card I placed the leafy frame on the Lemon Lolly cardbase. BIG MISTAKE! When I tried to position the DSP piece inside the frame it would not ‘fit’ because the frame had shifted slightly.
Time to start again!
TIP: Place the die cut Designer Series Paper on the card front first. Then position the frame around it.
And, of course, using the Adhesive Sheets makes this so much easier.
I stamped the sentiment, from the Citrus Blooms stamp set, using Garden Green and then stamped the small diamonds image twice.
The greeting was then cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I trimmed the left hand end of the banner.
After adding a folded length of white Diagonal Trim, I placed Stampin’ Dimensionals behind the banner and added it to the card front.
I used the same DSP to finish the card insert and envelope. Then I coloured some Adhesive-backed Sequins, from the Trio pack, and finished the card.
I hope today’s tip helps with your future projects.
Drop back tomorrow for a new project.
Until then, happy stamping.
