Tip Tuesday - Getting More Out Of Your Stamps and Ink Pads

Hi Friends!

It's time for Tip Tuesday - another great tip and/or trick for making your crafting easier, quicker, more beautiful.

There are two ways to achieve the multi colour look on a stamp.

As shown above, ink up your stamp in one colour and stamp on your cardstock. Then clean your stamp and ink it up in a second colour.

Once you have stamped the image the second time, use your paper snips to trim off the part that you want to use from the image.  Apply it over top of the first stamped image and you get two colours!

Alternatively, you can ink up your stamp in the first colour. Use a Blender Pen to remove colour from specific areas of the inked image, and apply a different colour using your Stampin' Write Markers!

Both ways extend the useage of your stamps and provide more interest to the image.

A Great Tip On How To Make The Most Of Your Cardstock Layers!

Hi Friends!

Tip Tuesday!

Tips and Tricks to make your card making easier, and more fun.

This tip took me MANY years to be able to do.

My main thought was "no way, I will know there is a hole under there!"

But, once I make the card, I can let that go. And the recipient never knows.

 

 

 

 

So die cut those layers and make use of all your cardstock!

Would you like a video tutorial on how to reduce wasted designer paper when using Stampin' Up!s new Candy Cane dies?

 Hi Friends!

I shared these 2 cards during my Catalogue Launch Party on August 2nd.

 

Two cards made together to maximize use of the "cast off" pieces from the background die cut in the Candy Canes die set.

I first cut the background die from the Lights Aglow 6x6 Specialty designer paper - saving the strips that are cut out.

 

 

 

Then I cut the same die from some White Glimmer paper, also saving the strips.

If you add Adhesive Sheet to the back of each of the pieces of paper, you will not need to add glue to them as I did 😉

 

 

Then I put both of the cut outs onto Evening Evergreen card bases, and using the strips from the other die cuts, I filled in the wider strips.

 

 

Voila! Two card fronts that do not waste much of the cut offs. I did not use the real small strips, but I think if you did 3 die cuts and mixed and matched all of the strips, you would have zero waste.

What do you think? Shall I do this on a live stamping demonstration for you?

 

Comment below if you would like me to schedule this for one of my facebook lives when we are home from our trip. 

  

I would love to have you as part of my Canadian Team - The Craft Room Stampers.
