Hello Ai fans !!
It’s Crystal here with another fun card , a get well card using Dr. Bill # K4088 and the Dr. Office #M1236 .
I kept this card simple ..lol ..okay simple for me : ) I usually like to show how I make things well today it will be how I make my candy dots ( the red dots on this card ) if you have a punch with small dot ( I used the Stamping Up owl punch ) scarp card stock and glossy accents and a stylus ,you can Make these ..
First I will show how I make my glue dots ( yes homemade , I believe you should save on the stuff you can make and spend what you save on STAMPS lol ) now you can make any size and not have to buy 3 different boxes .. I use the throw away sheet from labels after you peel off label save sheets for glue dots , I use Aleene’s tack it over and over glue ( has to be this glue..Tacky glue in gold bottle will not work ) snip off nib and squeeze out the size dots you want , the glue will come out white and in 24 hours it will dry clear and will be ready to use , i but another sheet over top to store these ( put glue on slick shinny side of paper so dot will peel off easy..
dots are clear now in this pic , a few are a tad cloudy but still ready to use it needed , the more they sit the more clear they get
this is a closer look at glue you need to use
use my Owl builder punch from Stampin Up to make my circle punches it has three sizes on it
next I use my stylus to shape my dots into a dome shape
next I put the dots on top of my glue dots
next I put glossy accents on top of all the dots , I do several colors to have on hand , here I’m making some for Fall and Halloween cards , also making these yourself they will always match your card stocks you are using
they look cloudy til they dry only take a couple of hours , some might think this is alot of work but it’s what I do when I need to clear my head and think about my next great card design lol. I hope you give this a try and leave a commit if you like seeing these kinds of tips ..
