Pick of the Week ~ Crafty Stamping Tips

Hello, Donna here with my turn for a Pick of the Week.  I wanted to share some of my stamping tips that I hope will make your crafting easier for you.

To line patterned paper up to match a full sized A2 or any size card front, lay your card front in the corner of a Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy and then match your paper up starting in the top left corner, works every time:

To cut out words and intricate dies layer a piece of wax paper, your card stock and then your die.  Cut as you normally do: 

The paper and all the little pieces come right out of the die:

When die cutting an image, leave the die on and sponge the edges: 

When you have a spare 5 or 10 minutes or are not in a creative mood cut your card stock, leave some in half sheets and score some into ready to go cards:

Now these pieces will go together quickly into cards. On this card I used Repeat Impressions’ 8402-M, My Sunshine.

On this card I used Repeat Impressions’ 10201-W, Flower Power Background. I embossed it in white and then colored it with Peerless Watercolors and added my die cut Hello. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
