Hey Crafty People!
Today I’m sharing this card using some fabulous products from Erin Lee Creative, and I’m sharing my top tip for positioning die cuts PERFECTLY with ease! ?
Card Recipe!
- Foil the Scales hot foil plate using Speckled Prism Glimmer foil – I didn’t get a brilliant transfer, which I think was down to the cardstock that I used and maybe needing an extra shim. I still use my far from perfect panels though because even with some flaws they’re still GORGEOUS! ?
- Ink blend an ombre fade using Catherine Pooler inks and some domed foam applicators. (Colours linked in supplies below.)
- Once dry, die cut using the A2 Rounded Accent Die. Pop this up on foam adhesive onto an a2 panel of Cherry Red cardstock.
- Die cut the Let’s Party word die from the same Cherry Red cardstock and stack this up on multiple white layers.
- The die cuts several seperate pieces and to get the perfect placement everytime I have a super easy hack!!! ?
Crafty Placement Hack!
- Cut a piece of Press N Seal and lay it on your desk sticky side up. (If you’ve never tried Press n Seal, it’s a VERY mildly sticky film, similar to a thick cling film, and it clings onto anything you press it on. The best bit is that it peels off super easily and leaves no sticky residue!)
- Lay one of the negative pieces you die cut the word die from, upside down, so that the front of the cardstock is against the Press n Seal.
- Puzzle piece all of your die cuts into this, gently pressing them into the Press n Seal. (How many times am I going to say Press n Seal?! ??)
- Add some liquid glue to the back of all of the pieces and lift the whole thing up to position it where you want it on your card front.
- Leave the glue to dry fully, then carefully peel back the Press n Seal, before taking off the negative die cut piece.
Perfect placement everytime!!!
Embellish with red gems!
