Tips & Tricks - Part 2 Adhesive and Adhesive Eraser

Today’s topic is adhesive and which one is the best for your paper crafting needs. It is hard to determine which adhesive is the best, because our needs for projects and our personal preferences are so different. What I can do is explain to you which adhesive will do what for you and which one you might want to have in your stack. There are many adhesives on the market and if you are using one for year and are happy with it, keep it :-) But if you struggled in the past to find the perfect one, maybe you need a little help to explore the different uses of them. I hope to be able to provide you with some more information in this short videos and that it will help along the way. 

No adhesive is perfect and they all have issues along the way, but we can minimize them and learn to take advantage of the “good” sides. Please feel free to contact me or leave a comment if you have further questions about adhesives.....and don’t forget to check out the one MAGIC TOOL that is a must have for every crafter ;-)

I have shared the video on my Facebook page so you can follow me there to keep up with them or if you are not on FB, find me on YouTube. Please give me a thumbs up if you like the video and subscribe to see more of them. Happy Crafting everyone

Home Sweet Home and Stamp of the Month in February

 


I am working on a couple of cards using the "Home Sweet Home Stamp & Thin Cut Set" (Z3755) and our current Stamp Of The Month for February (SOTM). Any idea what I will be making? Easel card? Trifold card or some other fancy fold? Stay tuend to see more....and the cute SOTM? Oh I am sure I can find uses for this one on the same cards.

   
These cute borders will make great doodles for the inside of cards and how about some borders for the front? Did you see the background stamps in it too....

Well working on it and hope to have some samples by Friday :-)

Check back tomorrow for "Tips & Tricks - Part 2"
