Hello friends
I hope you all had a great Bank Holiday.
We are back from Coventry and today further celebrations for
Elliott's birthday - the whole family coming over for a dinner tonight.
Today's tip/technique is using rub-ons with your Grand Calibur and die cuts.
Do you have a stock of them languishing in a box/drawer somewhere?
Do you have a surplus of the lolly sticks that come with them??

Here is a different idea to apply your rub-ons.
Position your desired design onto cardstock.
As opposed to using the traditional lolly stick to transfer the image, create your
cutting sandwich for the Grand Calibur with a piece of extra card for a shim.
Run it through the machine and your image will transfer,
you can then use your patterned card to die cut hearts and more.
Easy peasy and I personally think a lot quicker.
I have noticed that rub-on quality varies from company to company
so have a rummage through yours to find the best ones.
Take care friends and thank you for stopping by each time.

What a brilliant idea!
ReplyDeleteMorning Christine, I find that the lolly stick distorts the cards, you can see where the 'rubbing' has been done, this looks a lot better, shall definitely try thus out. Have a great day...... Lynn xx
ReplyDeleteFab tip Christine - hope you all enjoy your family meal.

ReplyDeleteA great tip, I don't have any rub ons, but this looks like a better technique to use than lolly sticks. Enjoy your family meal tonight.

Great top tip-it might even make me dig out my rub-ons that have been relegated to the back of the drawer!
ReplyDeleteHave a great family meal today.

I threw most of them away as I didn't like the result, will have to give it a try now! Have a lovely day celebrating Elliot's Birthday with family.

ReplyDeleteGreat tip today, I have loads of rub ons somewhere, so I'll dig them out and give this a try 👍

Morning Christine, I haven't ever used rub-on as I always felt that using a lolly stick to rub them onto the card would leave marks on the card - but using the GC would certainly be a better way of doing it. Glad you had a good day yesterday. Enjoy the family meal tonight...hope Dad is feeling better now. Janice xx
ReplyDeleteHello Christine. Thanks for today's tip. I had problems with rub on's last week _ will try this technique out soon. Having stored rub one for a long time may be the problem but who knows the new technique may just be the answer
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good weekend. Birthday wishes to Elliott and happy family evening
Good wishes
Phil
great idea and you are right bet most crafters have some of these somewhere .Laura O
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Elliott Christine, it was my DGD's birthdayt yesterday (19). I don't have any rub ons, but I can substitute other things, such as punched lace designs.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Elliott, have a great time this evening.
ReplyDeleteAnother great tip from you today Christine, what else do we expect from you. I do have a few rub ons so will give it a go? Thank you.

What a great idea! A real lightbulb moment :)
ReplyDeleteI do indeed have rub ons languishing in a forgotten place lol. This is a fabulous tip which I will definitely be trying x
ReplyDeleteGreat tip Christine not really used rub ons since i was a child but like the idea of them as easier to position than peel off's. xx hazel
ReplyDeleteWow, a brilliant tip. I have some faux stitch rub-ons that have been languishing for years. I will have to try this technique for transferring them. It sure beats all that rubbing!
ReplyDeleteHI Christine, busy busy busy so catching up again! Great idea and glad you had a good weekend! Hugs Carole Z X
