Amy, I love the Artist Tac, and became aware of it because of you! But I use the following process to avoid getting any residue onto the surface of a die cut. First, cut a piece of of the Artist Tac just large enough for the die cut piece. Then remove the release sheet off the Artist Tac piece you just cut. Lay your die cut down on the sticky side of the Artist Tac. To then burnish the die cut onto the dots, "flip over" the release paper piece you previously removed (so there will be no residue glue on that surface) and use that side to burnish. Works like a charm every time.

Thanks for talking about the scent. I might not be able to use it inside.

[@amyswares]

I'm very sensitive to smell and asthmatic and do fine with a window open so it's not too overpowering.

[@judyconstantino7035]

Beautiful card, Amy! The blue really pops on the black cardstock. Thanks for showing more gilding polish use, and for walking us through your thought processes while you create. It’s helpful to know the “why” as well as the seeing the “how” and the end result. ❤️

[@amyswares]

I'm so happy that you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@kirriesummers5219]

The card is beautiful, Amy and I love your binder idea. I have yet to make one; it is in my long-term plan. Thank you for being so organized and for sharing that with us. 🥰🇨🇦🥰

[@amyswares]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@teresahall2949]

[@amyswares]

So glad you like it! I got it so long ago. I think it was my local craft store. Thanks for watching!

[@yvonnecole1831]

Awesome polish, it gives a lovely finish. Another cool card 😊

[@amyswares]

Many thanks friend!

[@sandragaffney7642]

Hi, I am a fellow crafter and it occurred to me that you can spritz the top of your colors before you close them up. It only takes one to two spritz' to keep your colors fresh and vibrant for the next use.

[@amyswares]

Great tip, thanks

[@Mari-cre8s]

Beautiful card! The bit of bling really finished it off so nicely! Could you speak to how you store your stencils that have pixie spray residue on them?… or maybe you scrub it off with each use? I find that it’s there after just one or two uses of the stencil and it seems wasteful to scrub it off. I store my stencils in 3 ring binders within page protectors that have a piece of colored copy paper in them so I can clearly see the patterns….. Thanks so much! 🧑🏼‍🎨😀💗🌻🍉🦋

[@amyswares]

I do exactly the same thing with storage. And I never clean the pixie spray off I just put them back in the pockets with that. Thanks for watching!

[@Mari-cre8s]

@@amyswares TY! I guess it initially peels off the paper we are inking, so it should also from the paper in the binder🙄….guess my silly brain just needed that to be confirmed by an ‘expert’ stenciler!!🤣🤣. Thanks Amy!🙏🏼

[@amyswares]

@@Mari-cre8s you are so welcome. It shouldn't be peeling any paper are you giving it a minute before you stick it down after you spray.

[@Mari-cre8s]

@@amyswares It was my brain thinking that if the sprayed stencil sat in the binder for long periods it would adhere more… somewhere I am recalling someone saying they put their pixie sprayed stencils on freezer paper for storage and I just thought bleh, too much work!!😱🙄🤣🤣

[@amyswares]

@@Mari-cre8s I agree, too much work. I haven't had any issue with mine sticking too much over time if that helps.

[@gingerpayne7310]

Amazing card- is it easier to stacked with mirco dots than glue? Sometimes I want dimension on my sentiments.

[@amyswares]

I would say it's just a preference thing honestly.

[@nancyglaspie6735]

Love the color.

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much!

[@susanbollinger2844]

Great card

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much

[@pinkmosquito22]

I love the way that gilding polish looks on that black cardstock! I have yet to dabble with mediums like that but I really want to! I just don't know what to start with 😅 I was thinking the TH Lunar Paste 🤔

[@amyswares]

Yes that's an equally good and similar product for sure. Definitely fun!

[@kathykjmek]

Amazing

[@amyswares]

Thanks so much!!!
