3 Stamping Tips you need to know!


I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

  • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
  • standard card sizes and layers
  • which ink to use when coloring with markers

First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out.

Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

  • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

~~~

Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

  1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
  2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
  3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp. 

*I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

  • Springtime Scenes diagonal fold – 2 ways!


    I’m excited to share this neat card with you today. We made it at my April Card Clubs.

    Isn’t it beautiful? It features the Springtime Scenes bundle seen here and the Delicate Dreams DSP seen here. This DSP is so pretty they cannot keep it in stock! Be sure to add your email to the product so you get notified when it comes back in stock.

    This card might look like it’s difficult but it’s as simple as trimming off one half of the card front at a diagonal and flipping it over. Yup; that’s it! Watch my video below to see how it’s done.

    My colors include Secret Sea, Hydrangea Hue (new in color), White and Crumb Cake. The largest circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here. The small White circle is from Stylish Shapes dies.

    We tried this layout in both landscape & vertical position. Which do you prefer?

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions, photos and supplies listed. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial with tips on assembly.
