I went a little overboard
with this one - lots of happy color
for sure . . .
The
really fun thing to share is that this card features DIY enamel dots! They are so very easy to make:
1. Punch out a few circles
from leftover card scraps – I’ve used a cheap, standard office ¼“ hole punch
and am planning on finding punches slightly smaller/bigger for variety.
2. Place the dot upside
down on a foam mat and use your stylus in a circular motion to form a domed dot
- same process as in flower-making.
3. Roll a small glue dot
and stick on the end of a pointed wood manicure stick. Use to pick up the paper
dot.
4. Tap onto a VersaMark
pad, tap onto some clear UTEE and heat. Quickly tap the hot dot back onto
the UTEE and heat a second time. Repeat one more time. Watch
closely as you heat: there may be a tiny dimple in the top which will disappear
in a second or two as you continue
heating. After the last heating, hold
dot upright for five seconds so that the UTEE cools evenly.
5. Remove from the
stick. Fold another small glue dot in half and use to adhere.
By using your scraps from
the same project, your DIY enamel dots will always match perfectly. Or
you can use any colors or any cardstock you like. It takes barely more than a
moment to do this and best of all, they're virtually FREE!
