***Something is not right**** Rechecking instructions...
Attempted to uncurl and flatten the Shrinky Dinks out....
My first attempt to make WhatchaMaDoodle Shrinky Dinks was sadly, unsuccessful. However, I do like how the lettering looks once it shrinks.
Back to the drawing board. ***Must read instructions again***
To be continued.......

Well well well......
They didn't flatten out?
Hon, you need to leave them in there longer...they will flatten...trust me!
A couple of years ago, we were shrinking it just using an embossing heat gun. We'd cut out shapes with the Sizzix machine, then color them with pens and colored pencils then hold them with tweezers and heat until they were just right. Yes they contort and warp quite a bit, but they eventually flatten out. Maybe you should try reheating those cuties! I don't know if it will help or not, but it sure can't hurt. Good luck!
I think they are kinda cute they way they are.... would add a cool element to a book or a layout that you so magically create. However, can't wait to see the next phase.... (((((((Patiently Waiting))))))))))))))
Oh no Tam..I am so sorry about the SD disaster. I know you will not let this beat you....you will conquer the Shrinky Dinks!!!!!
