See the corners.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! When you are stamping and the only clear block left is just a little too small for that last stamp…don’t do it. Don’t use a block that is too small. You won’t be able to see the edges of yourContinue reading “See the corners.”
Cut out for an accent.
It’s Technique Tuesday! Is your card or project lacking that oomph you are looking for? Maybe the answer isn’t to add more…more bling, ribbon, words, stamps…maybe the answer is to add less. Use your punches or dies to create notches or accents for your projects. By doing this you are forcing the eye to gravitateContinue reading “Cut out for an accent.”

When you forget your die cutting machine.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Today we are talking about using your dies without the die cutting machine (Big Shot, etc.). If you forget your machine or want to emboss instead grab your piercing mat, bone folder, card stock (or designer series paper), die ofContinue reading “When you forget your die cutting machine.”
When in doubt use more texture.
It’s Technique Tuesday! When using the die cuts don’t be afraid to cut them out of something other than paper or card stock. The dollar store thin foam (sometimes called fun foam) is great for dies. You can stack a few together as well. Today’s image is actually from this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit. HappyContinue reading “When in doubt use more texture.”
