**Crafty Weekend Tip - Dry Fit First**
Before reaching for the glue, take a minute to lay out your pieces and see how everything works together. Shifting layers, moving embellishments, and testing placement first can help your handmade card feel more balanced and can save you from those “oops” moments later.
It is such a simple habit, but it makes the creative process feel smoother and a whole lot less stressful.
Do you dry fit your pieces before gluing, or do you like to wing it as you go?

Before the glue comes out, try arranging your layers and embellishments first. A quick dry fit gives you a chance to move things around, test your spacing, and make sure your design feels just right before anything becomes permanent.
It is an easy little step that can save time, supplies, and crafty frustration.
