Pam, there are so many things I love about you -- you are a "real person": with an adorable fun sense of humor... and not everything you do is perfect, sometimes you correct course as you go along because that's what happens in the craft world. Well, this video represents all of that, and its AWESOME.

Pam, the black part on the back of the ruler is there to keep it steady so it doesn't slide around! If you turn the ruler over and use it the right way up it shouldn't move at all once you put pressure on it. Great video as always, I love these altered playing cards. Thank you for sharing!❤️

So glad you posted this. I did mine the hard way, with a sharp blade BUT no blood transfusions needed. Can not wait to do this the easier way. My tip...save plastic bread tabs and use them to put on the cut ends of tape rolls for easily finding the pull edge. Works for all types of tapes. Smiles to you and Sunshine.

These look great! Instead of using a ruler, I might just trace around a cardboard shape and cut it out with a small and sharp pair of scissors. You could poke through the center to get started. But, certainly the punches are the easiest way to go, if you have them. TFS. 😃

Great project Pam. I'm thinking I will try using the "windows" in junk mail envelopes. Also to better handle the tape, just fold over a small edge (which will be cut off anyway) so it won't stick to your fingers. Also thinking to pin the card down to hold in place while using the craft knife (maybe pin it down on a piece of card board?) Pin holes will be small and easy to decorate over. TFS. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.🦃😋😊

I use the clear stuff from the windows of junk mail. You can peel it off carefully from most mail. The return envelopes usually don't have any smears on them . Fabri-Tacked onto the card or paper sticks well. You just have to encapsulate the flower between two layers of plastic. It works great!
@thecreatorsattic3 жыл бұрын
Or...I have used clear plastic packaging from stickers from a dollar store, etc. You can already have the two sides you need and then just drop in the flower and go from there with your card or slide. So cool to see you doing a video on this. I love working with dried fresh flowers!

They are SO CUTE!!! I have a trash can by my sewing machine that's only for thread, and tiny fabric & paper scraps. I KNEW I'd be digging threads out for SOMETHING! Bird nests. They aren't as good as yours, but I will keep practicing. They will be great on other ephemera too, that I've left un-embellished. YAY!!! You are very artistic and clever, the ideas you come up with.

Another way to cut the hole would be with one of our basic dies. Square, circle, etc. And I buy acetate tablets and that would work for the clear part, too. It comes in various thicknesses. Although I do have cheap (dollar store) packing tape and sheet protectors as well as pocket pages for pocket letters. Love the idea - the only thing I don't have is dried flowers but we could put other things in, too, like tiny fussy cuts. :)

Hello Pam, This reminds me of science slides I made when teaching 3rd grade. I use packing tape also. It made wonderful windows to put things in for the kids to view. Then they could use magnifying glasses to see the items. I used cardstock instead of playing cards. Wish I would have thought of the playing cards because in our small town in Nevada, I used to get decks of playing cards from the casinos for free because I was a teacher. We use the cards for math games(and no not gambling games Lol). BTW I bought a metal ruler with a cork backing on it that keeps the ruler from sliding. Perhaps you could just add a piece of cork or course sandpaper to the back of your ruler to keep it from sliding.
