Keeping it straight...Part II

You read my previous post HERE about keeping it straight. Here is yet another illustration on "Keeping it Straight".

Keeping it Straight

Refer to early posting of pictures for the next 3 steps

Start by cutting around the outside of your die cut word.

Carefully remove the top white layer; leaving the die cut on the backing. Also remove the spaces inside the letters.

Turn over and carefully pull the backing up, only allowing the backing to release from the die cut word. Create a straight crease in the backing.

Use a ruler to create a straight line on card.

Use the ruler as a guide, press down on the ENTIRE exposed lettering. Apply good pressure to allow lettering full contact with the paper.

Take the backing from the top and slowly pull and remove. Hold down the bottom letters as your pull away.

And there you have it - a straight application

Keeping it straight....

... I am a "little" OCD and I tend to always; ok, I always like straight lines. Even when it comes to creating cards.

I put myself to a challenge to find the BEST way to apply the "Happy" adhesive die cut that came in May, 2016 My Paper Pumpkin Kit. Congratulations to every subscriber, this month's kit is AWESOME! Don't miss out on next month's kit in the mail, EMAIL me!
