Once you run background dies like the Spellbinders Small die this month and your cardstock through your die-cutting machine, the die-cuts might tend to stay together.

This will allow you to quickly add adhesive at the back to make a speedy monochromatic composition like the one below.

However, as soon as you start removing die-cuts from the background, all the pieces might start falling apart and you will be left with many little pieces all over the place.

Paper Piecing Tips

Tip 1.

To save time assembling this type of background, I have been sharing an effective paper piecing idea using Pressn’ Seal at the back of the cardstock prior to die-cutting to hold the die-cuts together.

Alternatively, instead of Pressn’ Seal you can also use fabric + temporary spray adhesive as shown in the video here.

Pressn’ Seal or Sticky Fabric are great paper piecing aids especially to work with small die-cuts.

The only downside of using Pressn’ Seal is that sometimes it could be a little bit tricky to remove some die-cuts from the film.

This does not happen with the fabric tho.

Nevertheless using any of these aids is totally worthy, time-effective, and mess-free.

Tip 2.

To make this type of project it is also very helpful to emboss the paper using the die you are using to die-cut the background or the image you will paper piece.

The embossed image can be used as a guide to adhere the pieces in place and as aligned as possible.

I also added to these cards hot foiled banners made using Spellbinders Specialty Glimmer Cardstock, the Glimmer Hot Foil of this month called “Love Enclosed” + red hot foil and Polished Brass hot foil.

To die-cut the banners, I used a die included in Stamp of the month + Coordinating Die ( January 2022 Sold Out)

You can find a similar die banner on the Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.
