I have a question about cutting out embellishments. What is the rule, or is there one? I see some cards with the flower, etc. cut out with a little white line around it, and then again without any line around it. I'm doing some shaped cards that if I leave a line on the decoupage pieces they won't line up with the base of the card. What are your ideas on this subject. Thanks, Ann
we can get the patterns you use in your tutorials?
To adhere dies to cardstock so they don't move, I use Scotch removable tape.
To adhere masks in place, I use HERMA DOTTO repositionable adhesive.
