Altered Die-Cut Words

While a Sarah Heidt Photo Craft die-cut title can be used in its basic cardstock form, take a step outside the box and consider one of these snazzy altering ideas from Julie Geiger to add an artsy twist to a fun product.

Microbead Altered Word

1. Run the die-cut word through a Xyron machine to get adhesive on the front.
2. Place word in a tray and cover with the micro beads.
3. Press down on the beads to ensure adhesion.

Text Altered Word

1. In MS word, make a text box larger than the word you are using.
2. Fill the text box with random fonts and words.
3. Print out your text words on a sheet of paper.
4. Using non-permanent adhesive attach the die-cut word over the text.
5. Run the paper again through your printer.
6. Remove the word and that's it!

Inked Altered Word

1. Pick an assortment of different ink colors for your word.
2. Use a Dauber (Tsukineko) to "pounce" into the ink pads and then dab on the letters.
