Design Tips
With postal prices ever on the rise, and those new automated sorting machines, mailing cards with dimensional embellishments can sometimes be tricky.
However, there are ways of maintaining a flat-for-mailing card and still create lovely embellishments and enhancements which are sure to be eye-catching!
Most stampers and scrappers have discovered that glitter becomes a best friend when covering up mistakes or adding a little pizzazz.
Using Brushable glue, 2-in-1 glue, glue pens, dimensional glue, red-line tape or two-sided tape, creating sparkling embellishments becomes fun and uniquely "yours".
If dry embossing a background, color all or part of the embossed area with a glue pen and sprinkle on the glitter. HINT: do small areas at a time to prevent the glue from drying prematurely.
Using narrow nozzles on the Brushable glue or Dimensional glue, outline seams and layers, then apply glitter.
Apply two-sided-tape (which comes in many sizes) as stripes on seams or layers, or other designs, and sprinkle on glitter creating beautiful backgrounds or foregrounds. HINT: with tapes, after applying glitter, try placing a piece of wax paper over the glittered area and roll with brayer (or press with fingers), to force glitter more deeply into the tape.
Using the proper adhesives with glitter on die cuts and layers enables cards to remain "pliable" (less rigid) so they may process through the sorting machines at the post office AND remain less than 1/4" in width.

Join us tonight for Scrapmania!!!
Yes, we are still on for tonight as it stands right now and we do have fours spots still available! Please note if you are booked in for tonight and not planning on coming due to our balmy weather, please let us know. We find it tough to turn away people and then have some of you not show up. We have had people arrive already for tonight from out of town and they were happy to be in our wonderfully, warm & fun environment, as the drive in was not the best they have ever had. So drive careful and we will look forward to seeing you tonight for prizes, food, make and take and more.
