Making something smaller is often helpful.

You’ve heard that if you have a huge project to do that you should break it up into smaller chunks to get it done.  This also prevents feeling overwhelmed.  The same is true with our stamping products.  Just recently I cut a shammy into smaller pieces.  This is so when I use the Stamparatus IContinue reading “Making something smaller is often helpful.”

Tiled stamping.

This is probably the only time you will hear me say this.  Punch first and then stamp.  Yes, punch first.  Then lay your punches end to end and stamp as if it was one piece.  This will create a tiled look. Stay tuned on Thursday to see the finished card. Happy Crafting! With inky fingers,Continue reading “Tiled stamping.”

How to create a wood card with color and negative space.

This card is created using the sponge brayer, wood textured paper, vanilla cardstock, and real red ink.  First, sponge the color on to the wood paper with the brayer.  Stop one shade lighter than you want to see if the ink will absorb into the paper any more.  If not, then add more ink.  WaitContinue reading “How to create a wood card with color and negative space.”
