Just Stamps, Ink & Paper!
Choose two colors of ink (plus black for the words), a coordinating color of cardstock and the Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamps sets!
The Christmas Season stamp set is so forgiving. Don’t stress about being exact! It looks great uneven and carefree! Just create a frame for your sentiments by stamping holly in each corner and decorating it with berries and polka dots.
Tips For Making Lots of Card Fast
TIP: To quickly decorate the outside, inside and envelope, use one stamp on all three. For example, when you stamp the holly do it on all three pieces before moving on to the berries. This will save a lot of time from switching between stamps. You really get in a rhythm especially if you are trying to crank out a lot of cards.
Juli's Quick Tips
Frustrated when your stamped images are too dark?
I've got the solution!
- Use a spoon to gently push the ink to one side of the pad.
- Now when you ink up your stamp, it won’t be as saturated and the image will be more clear and a more true color. (see the photo on the right, the bottom leaves are not as dark).
