TECHNIQUE: Converting Stickers Into Die-Cuts

When I first started scrapbooking years ago, I'd buy almost everything in sight.  If it was on sale, I'd buy even more.  Stickers were a big favourite so I have quite a nice selection in my stash.

Only problem is that I don't use stickers much anymore as I prefer die-cuts.  Why?  Because I can make them into 3D embellishments with a few glue dots.

To use up my sticker collection, I've taken to converting them into die-cuts.  I know it's an old technique, but for those of you that are new to paper crafting it may be new.

All you need to do is sprinkle a little talcum powder over the sticky backing of the sticker, cover it completely and then brush it off.  Simple!  The talcum powder neutralises the adhesive which makes them instantly into die cuts.

Happy crafting.
