Some tips/tutorials for you!

I was playing with a card tonight and came across three new things...new to me anyways. I never know if someone out there has already done these things before but I did a little searching and didn't find anything...

Markers and the Gel Pen
Did you know that you can get a more solid colour by using the two combined? Especially on vellum cardstock, vellum and window sheets? Start by applying the Uniball White Gel Pen to the desired area creating a base, then mix it up with your Stampin' Write Marker. The difference is AMAZING!

Did you know?
That SU!'s slit punch works well with the largest flower in Big Blooms??? I cut the centre of the Big Blooms stamp and then placed my punch in the centre. My purpose was to find a way to flip the petals.

Fun tabs
I was looking for a way to balance my card with colour when it dawned on me to use my punches and voila! out of nowhere I created this cute little tab. First I cut it to 1 inch, used the ticket corner punch, then the slit punch followed by the 1/8th-inch circle punch....You can easily create one the length of your card too.



I will be sharing the finished card with you in the next few days! Hope you enjoyed these tips/tutorials.

Because I love to stamp and you do too!
