Sometime this afternoon we have to take some snow off the roof. This week we had three blizzards blow through. Big dump of snow. Glad it's back to sunny skies. Although it could be a little warmer.
I recently watched a video from Simon at Inklipse. He was testing life hacks. The one with the magnet mounted in the frame caught my eye. It is used for holding your dies in one safe place while die cutting. So off to the local Walmart store for supplies. In the craft isle I came across small magnetic sheets, and a plane wooden frame. Small but I usually don't have that many dies out a time.
I prepared the wood with a coat of white gesso. Tore up some paper I had on my desk from another project and got to work glueing. What a sticky mess I had. The medium gloss gel I used worked for the job, but I think I would use something else next time. It was just like glue and I was sticking to everything. But in the end it turned out great. I happy with the end result.
Thanks Simon for all the time you put into making your videos. I enjoy watching your work. Your Life Hacks videos are very informative. I have gotten more than one idea from them. Good luck on your new line you have just launched.
happy crafting
dee ;o)
