Intricate Die Cut Sticker made with Adhesive Sheets

Posted on February 8, 2018 by Yvonne van de Grijp

Do you love intricate die cuts for your cards? They are so hard to cover with adhesives and sometimes so messy, especially with liquid forms. Hello everyone, Yvonne here! I’m sharing how to adhere those detailed die cuts in a QUICK AND EASY WAY by simply using our Adhesive Sheets!

Adhesive Sheets give you incredibly strong, clear, edge-to-edge coverage without stringy application! Specifically created for die-cutting machines and punches and will not gum up the cutting elements. Perfect for intricate die cuts like mine!

It’s always handy to have some cards in your stash to send someone you want to show your appreciation for something. Accent card by using mulberry flowers, it’s like sending a sweet bouquet!

The Intricate Details

Run the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser horizontally over a rectangular size patterned cardstock. Tip: I like to use a ruler to run it along to make sure to get a straight line.

Simply press a piece of white ribbon upon and fold the ends around the card.

Adhere the ends to the back using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Next, adhere to a slightly larger rectangle shaped piece of green (patterned) cardstock using 3D Foam Squares for dimension. Then adhere to a white card base using the E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser.

Making an Intricate Die Cut Sticker:

Lift the yellow release of a sheet Adhesive Sheets 4×6″ and place a piece of gold cardstock on top. Trim the gold cardstock to the size of the die-template you are going to use. Then die-cut and emboss the etched die from the gold cardstock.

Remove the release liner and place the golden strip on the card.

Embellishing the Card:

Use Adhesive Dots to adhere the flowers, leaves, and bow to the card. I used Adhesive Dots Large for the flowers and Dodz Adhesive Dots Medium for the leaves and the bow. For the stamens, I used the Dual Tip Glue Pen to place on the card.

The sentiment was popped up with 3D Foam Squares White in a small size on the card front. Finally, add some rhinestones. Tip: if you have rhinestones that are not self-adhesive: use Adhesive Dots Mini or Adhesive Dots Micro.

Making Planner Borders with Scrap Paper

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Terri Burson

Most of us are over-run with scrap papers, right? Hello, Terri here, to show you a fun and easy way to make use of your scrap paper pile and decorate your planner at the same time, using tools you probably already have.

BEGIN WITH THE SCRAP PAPERS:

Large open spaces can be intimidating when working in your planner. Selecting a few choice colors can be an easy way to get started. February is the month of love, so I’ve chosen a pink and grey theme for my pages. My selected piece of scrap paper just so happens to be the perfect size to match the Adhesive Sheets 4×6″.

MAKING THE BORDERS:

Creating these 1.25″ by 1/4″ borders were so easy. Simply peel the backing from your Adhesive Sheets 4×6″ and apply to the backside of your cardstock. Place a decorative edged die on your paper and run through a manual die cutting machine. Decorative scissors or a decorative border punch are alternative options.

GLITTER AND GLUE:

Since we’re already decorating our planner, let’s add some sparkle and shine! Dab a few drops of glue, using the Dual Tip Glue Pen, as I’ve done on the heart banner below, then sprinkle with extra fine glitter. Now, you’re “Wearing Your Adhesive On The Outside”!

POP IT UP:

My 3D Foam Squares White Mix make an appearance as well, by adding interest and added dimension to my cardstock stickers by popping them out. Simply add a bit of paper backing to your stickers, then place your foam squares. This prevents the sticker from adhering to your planner pages when closed. It’s also another fabulous way of stretching your sticker stash!

Thanks so much for stopping in. Be sure and check out my process video below! See you next time – Terri

Paper Cactus Trio Tutorial with Premium Double-Sided Tape

Posted on February 4, 2018 by Dana Tatar

Hi friends! Dana Tatar here today sharing a fun paper craft tutorial. I have purchased several different types of succulents and cactus for my home. Sadly, they all eventually meet the same fate. My house plants suffer from either too much or too little attention. Despite my best efforts I really struggle to keep my houseplants alive. I’ve solved my problems by folding up a super cute paper cactus trio!

I found the templates for these succulents on the Oxygami Facebook page. They are offering 6 wonderful designs for free! I selected three of my favorite cactus designs to brighten up my décor. After assembling each cactus I added embellishments to help bring these designs to life.

How to Fold and Embellish a Paper Cactus Trio

Oxygami Paper Cactus Assembly by Dana Tatar

1: Download the patterns and instructions. Print the patterns onto colorful paper and carefully cut out. Score and fold each piece of the pattern according to the instructions.

2: Apply Double-Sided Tape to the flaps on each pattern.

3: Remove the paper liner from the Double-Sided Tape and assemble each cactus as directed.

4: Embellish! I mimicked the look of spines by adding a length of white fringe ribbon to the first design. To replicate the look of potting soil, I applied brown floral ribbon to the top of the planter on the second design. Finally, I used a Large Adhesive Dot to add a pink flower to the top of the third design. The Large Adhesive Dots offered both transparency and a strong, flexible hold that was perfect for this project.

I hope I have inspired you to create some dimensional art for your home!
Thanks for stopping by!
