Rose Garden #2 Or Why is Press 'n Seal in my Craft Room

This tutorial will show you how to use a finely detailed craft die, some cardstock and Press 'n Seal (from your kitchen!) to make a beautiful mosaic card. The results are stunning and the technique if really quite easy.

+TheBethoula I get pretty excited when I find a product that I already own or have in my house that I can use for paper crafting. Enjoy!

Since I posted this video, I have changed the way I cut thin dies on my Sizzix Big Shot. I try to use the least amount of pressure that gives me a good cut. Unfortunately this is different for every machine, from die to die and even varies with paper thickness. You will have to experiment to see what works best for you. The precision base plate is almost always effective at getting a great cut from super detailed dies but I do worry that such tremendous pressure will dull my dies. I guess the short answer is less is more (better for your dies) but sometimes you have to apply more pressure to get the results your after. Hope this is helpful!

Do you find that your dies become dull over time by using the precision plate?
