Use good quality glue or double sided sticky tape
Use sticky pads to add layers
To fray handmade papers cut to size first. Wet edges of the paper with water and leave for a min. Hold paper near to the edge and with your thumb and index finger very carefully tease the edge fibres avey using the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Lay flat to dry. When dry the paper will look slightly crinkled but when stuck on card will lay flat.
To create a great and fantastic card use different types of decorative scissors
When starting out it can be a minefield of what do I buy first so I have stated a few basics that are needed in any card makers craft box.
You can never have to many scissors. A good place to start is a pair of kitchen scissors for general cutting. A small fine precision pair of scissors is best for more detailed work.
A guilotine is a must if for cutting those straight lines. These are widely available and are really light weight.
Ideal for creating your own card blanks and acheiving clean sharp folded creases is a score boards and bone foleder. You can also create envelopes with these boards.
A tacky or pva glue , foam pads or tape and double sided tape are a must for any card crafter. Tweezers are perfect for using peel offs, stickers and small embellishments.
A pencil and a ruler for measuring and drawing templates.
A cutting mat is ideal for protectin your work surface a self healing mat is best as it will last for ages. There are many differnt types of craft knives available but which ever one you choose make sure you can change the blades and it will last you a long time.
