Challenge #12

I am sorry I am late posting this today, but I was determined to fix my blog before I posted.

The good news is.. I did!  I spent a lot of time doing so, but it was driving me nuts. I am thankful I figured it out.

Isn't this one of the prettiest embossing folders that you have seen?  I inked one side using a brayer with Scattered Straw and carefully ran it through the Ebosser.  I loved the way it turned out.  What do you think? Labels 34 will cut out the center, but I do not have it.  Therefore, I cut it out by hand and it was very easy to do.  I popped it up for dimension, added 2 small Lace Faerie Queen Butterflies, one on top of the other.  Flourishes and leaves were added underneath, along with the Blessings Sentiment and a pretty Silk bow.

One thing I learned in Florida was how to attach sentiments and other detailed dies easily.

First cut or tear a piece of double sided tape (I used Score Pal tape)

and put it on the BACK of the paper you are going to use to cut your die.

Then turn the paper over and tape down the sentiment with the cut side down.

Once you have the die taped down, run it through your die cutting machine.  When you take the words out of the die, the back is sticky and you can stick right to your card, label or wherever you are putting it.  You can doing this with flourishes or anything that is tricky to glue.

Another little tip is if you get adhesive somewhere it isn't supposed to go, sprinkle a little powder on that area and the stickiness will be gone.
