Hi Stampers,
Today I want to share a super easy way to adhere multiple die cut, punched, or fussy cut images exactly where you want the for great focal images.
Each of the cards pictured above feature focal images that are punched or die cut. Once all my images for a card were punched out or die cut, I placed them exactly where I wanted them on the focal panel (patterned paper). Once the images were where I wanted them, it was time to adhere the pieces to the focal panel. This requires moving each piece to place adhesive on the back side, and attempting to put the pieces back in place. Sometimes that is more difficult to do than it seems. A super easy way to lift those pieces off the panel, apply adhesive, and put them back exactly the way you arranged them is to use an easy to come by food storage product -Press’n Seal. You can find this product along side plastic wrap in places such as Walmart, Target, and most grocery stores. An alternative to Press’n Seal is washi tape or a very low tack tape; however there is a risk of the tape pulling off some of the cardstock image.
Watch the video tutorial below to see how easy this Press’n Seal technique is, and to view the downside of using washi tape.

I hope you give this Press’n Seal technique a try. As stated in the video, a piece of the Press’n Seal can be used for several cards. The box of Press’n Seal in my craft room has been there since about 2015. I use it fairly often and still have over 1/2 of a roll remaining. A roll of 70 square feet retails for about $3.50 at Walmart in my area (Southeastern Indiana). It is a handy item for your craft space!
