Troubleshooting

Ensure the surface of the die-cut piece and the project surface are clean and dry. Use a stronger adhesive specifically designed for paper crafts, such as liquid glue or strong double-sided tape.
Gold foil smudging
Handle the pieces with clean, dry hands. Avoid rubbing the foil surface. If smudging occurs, try to gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth; however, significant smudging may be irreversible.
Die-cut piece not the desired shape
These are pre-cut elements. If a specific shape is not available, you may need to look for other embellishment options or collections.
