Happy Anniversary

An invisible new tool is in play here . . .

Last month, my Christmas cards featured three sequins per card.  Judging from the feedback I got, many of them left their moorings and were found at the bottom of the envelope.  My non-stamping friend Susi suggested I use Super Glue next time, and boy was she right.  I did a test with four more sequins on scrap paper and those babies are staying put!

On this card, the wooden dots were attached with Super Glue and they are solidly in place.  I have never felt truly confident about many of the embellishments I have used in the past – especially plastic ones like sequins, as plastic is notorious for flimsy adherence.  But now, a tube of Super Glue is on my table and will be put to use for all iffy attachments.  It takes just one small and easily-squeezed-out drop to do the trick and adherence is almost immediate.  No more worries about what the USPS will do to my embellishments . . . I’m in heaven!
