You can also use the dies to cut fun foam and stick the fun foam on the acrylic block to use as a stamp.

@cheriturner7852 6 жыл бұрын

It’s a very cute card. Love the tips. Perhaps I can share one with you too. When stamping your balloon, just stamp the balloon and not the string. Then do your die cut. Afterwards you can take a pen and draw a line down the middle of the Die cut. Then you won’t need the paper guide. Hope you like my suggestion.

Hello Simon, watched you grow before my eyes. I am 82 and a busy card maker. I have shakey hands. When I layer anything I use one of my worn out mats from my cricut to hold things in place, then lift off the mat to make sure design is aligned and stuck together nicely. There are companies selling light sticky mats now. Might be a useful tip for someone else.

Terrific hacks. My favorite is using the black fun foam. I agree that the black looks better, although you could use alcohol markers to color the edges of the die cut if you really wanted to match. Could you back the fun foam with the Scrapbook.com adhesive before cutting? I also like the Press n Seal technique. It's great for paper piecing too. For anyone using a die cutting machine with plastic plates, rubbing the plate with a dryer sheet helps with static.
