Can anyone tell me how to avoid and/or deal with the curling cs after spraying with glimmer mist? I applied glimmer mist to the Kraft panel (and the failed blue and white panels), left them overnight to dry, ran them through the cuttlebug, embossed them, left them under my desk blotter--- The kraft one came out the flattest, and it still curled enough to make die cutting and embossing a challenge. I glued it seriously to a black cs matte panel and it still curled. A little. Okay. An A for effort.

Brenda you card is AMAZING!!! I LOVE the sentiment and your neutral colors look wonderful together. Your frustrations are not apparent when looking at your awesome card.
As for the curling, I will leave that for the experts. I have had the same problems myself! Merry Christmas Brenda!!!
Oh my! I love that sentiment!!! I think I need to go look that one up! It's beautiful! I love how you kept things simple so that the message really stands out!

Beautiful card, Brenda! I love the sentiment.
I use my heat tool to help somewhat with the curl on the card stock. It doesn't always get it totally straightened out, but between that and a strong adhesive, things usually turn out okay.

Simple, elegant and to the point; no curling noticed here! Lovely card. I, too, can get some of the warping out by drying with the heat gun. Merry Christmas!

Beautiful sentiment, fantastic card for a man! As to the curling, hmmm, did you try ironing lightly on a towels loop side? You should be able to keep the embossing, as the embossing sinks into the towel. This is what I do with my embroidered, tatted, and crocheted doilies my grandmother made, thus keeping the texture of the handywork. It would be worth a try.
