If your craft space doesn't include Press-n-Seal, go and get you a roll to keep in there! It is so handy to hold die cuts in place before or after cutting in your die cutting machine. To get it off, you do have to be mindful to peel it away slowly from your die cuts. This particular technique was popular a few years ago. One of the best videos demonstrating this is from Bruno Bertucci found here .Press-n-seal has so many uses, i.e. turn it face up for holding card stock steady while stamping with the Stamparatus, watercoloring small images, and especially using stencils. Turn it face down to hold dies in place on images before die cutting...game changer! It is very sticky, so you might want to remove some of the stickiness by placing it on clothing or your skin prior to using on the DSP.
I used images from the DSP Wonderful World which I fussy cut from the perimeter of one of the sheets. The images were already incomplete on the edges of the sheet so I figured they would be fine for this technique. The sentiment is from a retired set called Itty Bitty Greetings, but any small sentiment you choose will fit here. I almost used Versamark and embossed in white on Starry Sky card stock, but I chose a more simple method. The beautiful stamped image is from the Stamp Set bundle. I colored it with Stampin' Write markers. This was my first opportunity to use the deckled edge rectangle dies! I love the subtle "ragged" edge it cuts.
