Latisha here with you today. I am sharing a tutorial, on how to use “alphabet die cuts” and turn them into glittered stickers.
1. First, trim down a piece of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets (4×6). I like to trim my pieces down to size, because I love this product and do not like to waste one little piece.
2. Place cardstock over the adhesive.
3. Since I want the adhesive to be on top of the die cut, and not the bottom, because we are adding the glitter to the top, and not making it a typical cardstock sticker. I am placing the cardstock face down, and the Adhesive Sheet facing up, then adding the dies on top, before diecutting.
4. I want a rainbow/ombre effect, so I am going to only peel down the Adhesive Sheet a little at a time, adding a different color every time I pull it down farther.
5. I repeated this process, until I had red, orange and yellow glitter onto my diecuts.
6. I want my stickers to have a little bit of depth, so I am adding Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape (white) to the back of my die cuts.
7. I didn’t want to create a bow, or have my ribbon knotted, so I added Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Power Tape, to the back of my ribbon, an adhered it to the card & trimmed the excess with scissors.
8. Before I adhered my letters to the card, I stamped the sentiment in black ink, applied the die cuts, and added a little bit of twine to pull it all together. This technique can be used with any kind of die cut, not just letters.
