Once again, my internet was a bit glitchy but I’ve edited it and think you’ll be able to see the entire design process just fine!

Happy New Years Card

Today’s card uses the Wanted to Say dies.

Now, if you love word dies, this one must be on your Wish List!

You can see it in this post about colourful card making with dies and DSP or this one with all the instructions on how to use DSP for an accordion fold card.

Did you pick up some of the tips in the video?

Things like:

• what I use to cut holes in my acetate and card
• how to quickly adhere your greeting
• and more!

(Make sure you scroll back up and hit the triangle to take a quick peek to add these tips into your own paper crafting!)

I’d be interested to hear if you’ve ever made a card with an acetate cover on it like this one? Please leave me a comment and let me know how it turned out!

The acetate has a wonderful shine…that unfortunately has a pretty high reflection for photos.
