When I saw this paper from the Heartwarming kit by DLS Design, I fell in love with it right away. Of course I kept it for a special project where I could really show off the beautiful design. In addition I ordered new dies to create easy flip up pages on my layouts from Lawn Fawn. I also worked with the acetate sheet which has the same design like the paper. I used it to create a 3D effect with the photo underneath. Kind of like a shaker pocket without the shaker pieces if that makes sense.
I created my own alpha by using adhesive glitter foam with my alphabet die set. I love how easy it is to create your own alphas. If you make a search on Amazon you will find all different kinds of colors. Some come without adhesive on the back so you would have to add double sided adhesive sheets to the back. Those are available from a bunch of companies.
When I wanted to cut my paper with the die, I realized that it wouldn’t fit into my die cutting machine because it only fits A5 size. I figured I just cut off a little bit on the left side where my holes were and adhered it back together after I finished die cutting. I think this is an okay solution and does not justify to purchase an A4 sized die cutting machine, right?
I printed my journaling on white card stock and used my die upside down, so I was able to add it to the inside of the flap.
