Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the rescue for Detailed Dies!

One of the challenges with intricate die cuts is figuring out how to adhere them to your project. We are not fans of glue, no matter how fine the tip is or how clean it's supposed to be, let's just say we HATE IT!!! Any form of it!!! It's messy and gets everywhere, regardless of how careful you are with it!!! But that's why there are so many options for adhesive, to each his own, right? Well, we were SO EXCITED to see these Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets in the new 2017-18 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog! These are AMAZING! If you haven't tried them, we strongly encourage it for those detailed dies, like the new Happy Birthday Thinlit. It's easy, you cut the size cardstock or DSP that you need to fit the die, and cut that same size of the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet. You'll remove one side of the adhesive sheet and stick the cardstock or DSP to it. After you run it through the Big Shot, you simply peel off the die cut and stick it to your project, no mess whatsoever! This card also features one of the new 2017-19 Stampin' Up! In Colors, Tranquil Tide. The simple card features the coordinating Fresh Florals DSP and 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon.

Wood Sheet Wonder

This is one of the cards that our Big Shot Club members will be doing at this month's workshop.  The Lattice die was cut out from one of our wood sheets.  Prior to running it through the Big Shot, we put it onto one of the multipurpose adhesive sheets, which are available in the Holiday mini catalog.  The wood grain is a nice touch with the lattice die cut.  We saved the "petal" shapes from inside the lattice to make other designs, like flowers with a brad in the center.  The background was embossed with the Elegant Bouquet folder, and of course, the sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The bird was done with the punch and the edges were sponged with Soft Suede ink to make it stand out.
