Love these cards, Mary! Just got the dies with my last order from you. Do you have any tips about getting the letters lined up straight? Yours are perfect!
Happy to hear you like the card. My best advice is to cut the piece you are adhering them to size before adhering the letters. That way, you have a top and bottom to follow. I also suggest using the Adhesive Sheets when you die-cut as that adhesive is a little more forgiving than other adhesive.
Hope that helps! Mary
