Tip:  Cut your Designer Series Paper (DSP) down to a more manageable size (unless you know you will use it for a non-card making project).  Cut into four 6”X6” pieces or six 4”X6” pieces.  Having these beautiful papers ready to use makes for quick cardmaking.

Tip: How to line up your sentiment on your block!  Line up your sentiment face down on your grid paper.  Now, line up your block edge on a lower line on the grid paper and press your stamp onto the block.  Ink up your stamp and test it.  Line up your block along a line of your grid paper and stamp.  Is it straight?

Tip: Stamp first then glue!  I make mistakes stamping all the time.  It’s much easier to grab another cardstock base than it is to ruin a card because the DSP is already attached.

Decorate the inside of your card with a piece of leftover DSP.  So pretty!

It’s Sale-a-bration time which means it’s the perfect time to treat yourself or get an early start on holiday shopping!
