Have you seen Clearsnap's Design Adhesives and wondered how to use them? Would you like to learn how to learn how to apply different colors to different portions of the designs? Or how to mix mediums, like glitters, foils or embossing powders?
Today's project is a simple little Valentine's gift box that has been embellished using the BE MINE Design Adhesive with Designer Foils and Glitter.
Design Adhesives are like rub ons except that they are sticky so that you can apply foils, glitters or embossing powders to them, or even gently rub over them with inks.
The designs can be used as is, or you can cut them apart and just use pieces of them, which was what was done in this project.
Design Adhesives are easy to use and add beautiful design elements to your projects.
The slideshow below includes step-by step photos of the project, so you can see how it was done and learn these techniques to use on your own projects...
Here are all the supplies and the directions that you'll need to make this project yourself...
