Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web Collaboration Day 7
Hello, Jeanne here for the last day of the Thermoweb collaboration week.
I just love to select stamp sets and dies that make my heart happy so I can send smiles across the miles. Today I wanted to demonstrate that behind all the cute images and detailed dies there’s great adhesives and bling that make every detail just right. This week we’re collaborating with Thermoweb and sharing a little “behind the image” products that can make your crafting time easier and more satisfying.

This card starts with a Distress Oxide inky panel in shades of blues and greens and that would be gorgeous alone… but how about kicking it up a notch? I applied Gina K Glitz Gel in Iridescent over the entire panel for a glamourous glittery upgrade. I love to use iridescent because I can smear it over any solid color background… ink or colored cardstock for some added sparkle.
I topped the sparkly panel with a Pretty Petals cover die using Mixed Media Multi-Purpose Adhesive. Liquid adhesive is great because you have a little “wiggle room” allowing you to adjust the die cut before it dries for perfect positioning every time. I cut a window in the center of the cover panel using the oval shape from the Decorative Tag 1 set.
Did you know you can add foil to your projects without having a foiler machine? To add gold to the oval insert on the frame I cut a piece Deco Foil Foam Adhesive Sheets, peeled the coating off one side and adhered some gold Deco Foil and then ran the piece through my die cut machine. I recommend applying the foil BEFORE you cut your die because the pressure from the die cut machine gives a smooth finish to the gold foil.
The finished assembled background is elegant and sparkly perfect for a proud peacock. Remember that behind every beautiful project you’ll find reliable Thermoweb adhesives and elegant bling.
Thank you for joining us this week for a fun collaboration. We hope you’ve been inspired by all the projects featuring Pretty Pink Posh + Therm O Web!
