Description:
A perfect opportunity to use that new machine or the new dies from Santa! (or a pre-cut die from extra swap goodies) This postcard needs to have at least 1 die cut piece attached to the front. Subject matter and other mediums are completely up to you! Should be fast, should be fun! 4"x6" handmade postcard on heavy cardstock (about cereal box weight) Naked mailing (or envelope due to potential adhesion issues) 1 partner International is ok ($1.15 in us stamps) Thought about this type of construction/adhesion below. Join in the conversation!

What do you use to attach heavier elements to your postcard to safely take the trip as naked mail?

I am obsessed with my krylon sticker machines and if it looks a little loose, I use a gel medium (after spray sealer) to anchor it all down. I prefer the original finish without the gel though.

I use E6000 for heavier projects,it won"t budge.

I've not used E6000 on paper. I'll have to try that! Thanks! Also, I meant Xyron sticker machine not krylon (that's paint, duh) lol

Lol! I always wondered about E6000! I just use Glossy Accents! So excited to use my larger dies to make a pretty post card! Can't wait to swap! ðŸ˜€

Hi Darc! I have mine ready to go but if I get you as a partner I may have to remake something Frenchy ;)
