Afraid to cut your paper?

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Are you afraid to run out of your favorite paper?

Grab your spoons.

It’s Technique Tuesday! When using your DistINKtive stamp sets make sure your ink is just right. Let me back up…do you know what a DistINKtive stamp set is?

It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! You know how I usually talk about how a product is used in a weird way.

To get a different look make it inlaid.

It’s Technique Tuesday! To get a different look make it inlaid. When using the Painted Poppies stamp set and coordinating dies make them inlaid. Instead of having a detailed flower sitting on top of your card that could rip or catch think about cutting out a space for it to lay evenly with the restContinue reading “To get a different look make it inlaid.”
