  • 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!

    Standard card measurements

    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. 

    Which ink to use for coloring

    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. 

    Stamp types .

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

  • Floral Charm fun-fold card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option


    This is my second card kit to go I've created for July.  It features the new Floral Charm designer paper released in our newest Online Exclusives.  It's absolutely gorgeous designer paper!

    My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!

    • a share of Peacock/Gold ribbon
    • a share of Shimmer dots

    • the PDF tutorial & video link 

    The kit to go is $31 and can be reserved here.  It is shipped out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. 

    *You will need stamp greetings, inks, a paper trimmer (to cut your new designer paper) and adhesives to finish the cards.
