Hi everyone! Today, I was finishing the cards I made recently (see cards here). I always like to add a card insert that features some decorative element and/or sentiment. As I was making the inserts, I thought some of the things I was doing might be of interest to other cardmakers, so I picked up the camera and recorded a short video for you.
In the video, I walk you through my process and highlight a few, potentially game-changing techniques:
🌸 Colour Your Cardstock to Match – If you don’t have the perfect shade, ink up some white cardstock to get the exact colour you need. It’s a great way to ensure everything coordinates beautifully.
🌸 Turn Dies into Stickers with Adhesive Sheets – Add adhesive sheets to the back of your cardstock before die-cutting. This saves so much time when it comes to sticking intricate pieces—no more messy glue!
🌸 Keep the Die Cut in the Die for Perfect Placement – Leave your die-cut in the die when positioning it on your project. This keeps everything aligned and helps avoid those wonky placements.
These little tweaks make a big difference in your finished card, especially when it comes to inserts or layering elements. If you’d like to see how it all comes together, check out the video below.
Here’s the video…
Do you already use any of these tips? Or were some new to you? I’d love to know your favourite cardmaking hacks—feel free to share them in the comments!
Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you have a great day!
