Blends go just before the line.

If you’ve played with the new Stampin’ Blends then you probably already know this.  Do not go all the way to the line.  An alcohol-based marker tends to bleed a bit so leave a tiny bit of white space before the line.  You can always go back and fill it in but you can’t doContinue reading “Blends go just before the line.”

Are you feeling the love?

This is not my normal post for a Wednesday, but it’s Valentine’s Day.  Instead of a product being wacky today, I am.  I am sending out these two cards wherever you tell me to.  I am sure someone needs a valentine that won’t get one.
