Press N Seal Technique

After watching Jennifer McGuire's and Bruno (Kylie) Bertucci's videos on the Press N Seal Technique I had to try it out. So, it definitely wasn't as easy as they make it look in the videos! I had issues with the press n seal being too sticky and it ended up ripping some of the DSP or the colored images.  However, it worked much better when I took the press n seal and put it against my jeans (like you would lint paper) and then used the embossing buddy on the sticky side to coat it a bit.  You still have to be very careful.  But it is a really neat effect.   You remove the press n seal from the cardstock and pop up each of the pieces with dimensionals.  Then you carefully place it on the frame and gently (very gently and slowly) pull away the press n seal...and voila!!

The first card I used the so cute Fable Friends from the 2019 Occasions Catalogue. Love this set. It is so darn cute.  I stamped them in memento ink and colored with my blends.  I used my scan n cut to cut out the images, but you could fussy cut them if you are more patient than I am :).  I randomly placed them on a 4 by 5 1/4 piece of soft sea foam cardstock and when I was happy with the coverage I gently placed the press n seal (after getting rid of some of the stickiness) over them.  Using the stitched rectangles I cut out a center piece making a frame.  Unfortunately, I couldn't make a second card as I ended up ripping the bunny when I was trying to take it off :(.

I then tried it using butterflies from the botanical butterfly DSP that was available as a Sale A Bration Item.  Love this card.  Will have to do some more and maybe try some different colors.

I used the middle part on the same card and just had a contrast with white instead of making two cards.

What do you think?
