The last couple of days have been down time for me as so much has been going on. These down time days is what I really enjoy because I just craft to distress. It’s these moments that I enjoy crafting and not think of anything or worry about my daily hustle and bustle. It’s the same release I get when I go to yoga. Well I created a couple of cards using the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits. As I was adhering it to the card a light bulb lit. How do I quickly and easily attach this delicate intricate cut designs? That’s when the light bulb lit and this blog post idea came to arise. I thought if I’m thinking this, I’m sure you are too. So I’ve tried and found 4 ways to attach intricate cut designs.
- Fine Tip Glue Pen: The fine tip glue pen has a long fine tip to help adhere small embellishments, glitter and delicate paper cutouts to projects. The cap includes a pin to keep the tip clear and prevent drying. I will not lie, it has happened to me where I got distracted because the phone rang and I left the bottle open too long. Well you guessed it, the tip dried and I couldn’t get the cap back on. So I have done a couple of things and it has worked. I have put the lid in warm water and it has unclogged. I have also used the heat tool. Check out the This or that adhesive post I wrote a couple of weeks ago and it will outline how I used the heat tool.
- Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets: Multipurpose adhesive sheet is a sticky double sided sheet that sticks to your cardstock prior to cutting the intricate die cut through the Big Shot. If your like me that crafts in between dinner, homework and more then you will love the multipurpose adhesive sheets.
- Multipurpose Liquid Glue: This glue reminds me of school glue. Only difference is that it is very sticky. I normally put the intricate cut on my silicone craft sheet and use the thick tip of the glue to rub it on the cut. I then lift it using my piercing tool and glue it onto the project. For the silicone craft sheet I just wash it, and leave it to dry.
- Mini Glue dots: I admit this is my last minute go too, if I have 5 minutes to glue and run off to hockey. I admit it is a bit big so I normally put it on and roll it so that it is not seen when I adhere it to the project.
So there you have it, these are the five ways I attach intricate cut designs onto to my projects. For more info on the products click on the images above.
