How to use Craft Punches
Top tips for using Craft Punches: Punches provide a quick and easy solution for making stationery if you are on a short timescale. Don't forget to use your punches to make confetti, to put in your envelopes or postal boxes. Don't forget to use your punches to make table confetti, a cheap and easy way to decorate your table. Punches are an excellent way to make all those thank you cards. Try simplifying your invitation again to save time. Punches work on card stock, paper and foil sheets.
How to use Floral Cards Top tips for Floral Cards: Always secure flowers with a hot glue gun to the back of the flower head to ensure they stay in place. Apply glue generously and place immediately as the glue dries instantly. If you find hairs of glue on your design just rub them off gently once completely dry. If you are wiring flowers together, cut your lengths of wire first and wind from the bottom of the stems to the top leaving ends for curling if necessary.
Embellishments - Painted Topper Cards Top tips for Toppers Paint the design generously - you are looking for a 3-D textured finish. Don't paint too accurately, hand painted means just that, by hand they do not have to be perfect. Place glitter drops on after paint and leave to dry overnight. If you make a mistake just wipe off immediately, it will not leave a mark. Always use a good glue stick when attaching paper and boards. Always use tweezers when using peel-off stickers, they can be re-positioned until you are happy with the placement. Run your finger over to secure firmly. Tie in your printed inserts with ribbon or cord. Experiment with where you place the knot or bow.

Use the silver glitter glue to make a ‘centre’ of the daisy. Allow to dry overnight
Handy Tips From the Craft Depot:-
Use the same method to make your place cards leaving a space to write your guest’s name.
Work in batches of 10, making sure you leave the glue to dry overnight
You can also use a paper glue and stick directly onto the box.
Why not punch out lots of your shapes and make your own unique table confetti. Stardream paper comes in lots of co-ordinating colours and is coloured on both sides.
