Carta Bella - Yesterday Christmas Tags

Hello, Carta Bella Paper fans!  I'm up on the Carta Bella Blog today with a nostalgic Christmas tag set using the beautiful new Yesterday Collection along with a few snips of the Christmas Time Collection!  

The Carta Bella Paper Yesterday Collection is loaded with feminine florals with an antique feel that brings back memories from the past!

I want to share a couple of tips with you today, too!

The Carta Bella  Designer Dies come out of the package with wire keeping the dies together.  I used the die this way and look what lovelies came about!  These intricate frames are PERFECT for layering!

DIE-CUTTING

Did you know that even though the Chipboard and Collection Stickers have adhesive backs, you can still prop them up with foam adhesive and not have the edges stick to your project?  It's simple!  Just apply a bit of powder to the adhesive backs and they will not stick to edges of your project and remain popped up perfectly!
