Hi it’s Beth, and today’s card features Adhesive Sheets and ribbon. I’ve had this idea in my head for a while, and I’m so happy with the way it turned out. Let me show you how I did it.<\/p>\n

\"BethPingry<\/a>Adhesive Sheets are a great way to cover a lot of area fast, so they were the perfect choice for this project!<\/p>\n

First, trim a scrap of cardstock to a little larger than the die you’ll be using. Peel the yellow layer off the Adhesive Sheet and place it adhesive side down onto the cardstock.<\/p>\n

TIP: Save the yellow sheet for later!<\/p>\n

\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart1\"<\/a>Next peel off the back of the adhesive sheet, which leaves you with cardstock covered in a thin layer of adhesive.<\/p>\n

\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart2\"<\/a>Next, cover the adhesive with ribbon, here I used wide ribbon so it only took 3 pieces.<\/p>\n

\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart3\"<\/a>Optional step: alter the ribbon! I used Gelatos to create fall colors on the ribbon. If your ribbon is already just the way you want it, skip this step.
\n\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart4\"<\/a>I had some fun with the Gelatos, by rubbing the color in with my finger, then adding a bit of water to continue to blend it. (I messed up in a further step and had to re-do so I went with a different set of colors. Why am I craving candy corn?)<\/p>\n

\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart5\"<\/a>Once the ribbon was colored, I stamped a sentiment, then die cut it. Now, the variable part here is the thickness of the ribbon, cardstock and the type of die you use. I used a thin metal die, and ran it through my machine a few times, but I still had to trim some of the edges with scissors. Not a biggie, because the ribbon was thick.<\/p>\n

Did you save the yellow sheet from above? Place it over any exposed adhesive before die cutting, and your paper won’t stick to the cutting plates!
\n\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart6\"<\/a>It says “Grateful Heart”, so I had to use a 3D Foam Heart, right? I added pigment powder to it, using my finger. Plopped it onto the ribbon (yes, it sticks to the Gelatos and ribbon!) so it was a bit skewed. To keep it the same height as the rest of the die cut, I trimmed a 3D Foam Square to support the edges, then added more around the back side of the die cut.

\nSee how that looks? I love this card, I hope you do too!
\n\"BethPingry-GratefulHeart9\"<\/a>Thanks!<\/p>\n
