So I always purchase a cheaper white cardstock and use it for anything I am going to inlay/onlay on....i'm assuming for you coloured cardstock is also more expensive? and then just cut the panels with the coloured cardstock and glue onto the white....I also us it to layer up any piece I want to add dimension to, instead of using foam tape...that way the pieces are more sturdy for mailing too.... this set is so cute and colourful...and will be fun to play around with off panel to see what you can create with all the pieces
No I always use Neenah Solar White 110lb, because that's what I have - it is actually more expensive than color CS, because I have to order it from the US...I almost always add layers of it behind each and every element because I prefer if my cards look well made and don't get crushed in the mail. I always think, I don't make many cards, so I can spend more money and more time on each card I do make :D Maybe it only makes sense to me though!
I ordered this die immediately upon the release, but sorry I found your video on using it totally confusing. I think I will figure it out without your video
I'm sorry you feel that way. :( Honestly, there is nothing to figure out about it, it's a cover plate...if you've seen other videos from me, you'll know I prefer doing what I call onlay instead of inlay technique, because I prefer dimensional projects. And in this case it's simply more practical, because the cover plate has lots of pieces that will be cut apart (look at the toucan for instance - all those pieces will fall apart, nothing like a standard cover plate). If you were to glue down what's left of the background piece first, I don't think you'd get a precise shape to fill in the rest with. So my advise was, die cut the panel from the color you want for your background, keep all the pieces together, use double sided adhesive on an A2 panel, glue that to the back of the Toucan panel, and then start gluing the other color pieces on top. Hard to explain, but I'm sure you'll see what I mean when you work with it! Happy crafting! X
Fun, whimsical and colorful! I especially like the blue shades contrasting with the mustard shades.
Glad you like it! Thanks a bunch X
Love these
Thanks so much 😊
