Stamper's Tips Library - An ongoing series of videos sharing quick tips to make your crafting easier

Hello and welcome to the Stamper's Tips Library. An ongoing series of videos showing you some quick tips I have learned in my journey in stamping and crafting. I hope you enjoy and please look at subscribing to my YouTube channel so you don't miss anything.

Here is the first 3 videos in the series to get you started.  So whether you are just starting out stamping or are a seasoned stamper I hope there will be something that you will find useful.  When I started I wish there had been a library to dip into as I learned along the way with many mistakes and errors so all of these tips have come about through my own experiences. The tips are by no means revolutionary or new but by having them in a library format might just help improve your stamping experience.

1. The three second rule

2. Inking Up Images - Ink to stamp or stamp to ink?

3. How to avoid a halo around your stamped image.

This library is going to be an ongoing work in progress, as I think of tips and add to the library over the coming weeks and months.

Enjoy and I hope you find some of them useful.

Stampin Up Wonderful Moments - Using those stamps that sometime get overlooked

We all buy stamp sets because the focal image has attracted us and we then must buy that set.  However how often do we just use those focal images and forget about all the other little stamps that might be in a set.

I like to get maximum usage from a stamp set, so when I buy it I want to get the maximum usage from that set and so I look for as many ways to use every single one of the stamps.

Wonderful Moments is an example of a fantastic stamp set chosen for the images of the bride, an expecting mother and a girl who can hold balloons, presents and flowers.  There is a little scroll stamp which when stamped together makes a fantastic border.  Fussy cut it out and you have a beautiful scrolled frame. Build it up by stamping one, two or more scrolls together to make layered borders.  Take the little flower, or the balloons or presents and of the sentiments to create a beautiful card.  Happy Birthday and Thanks So Much are go to sentiments to use again and again in a pretty font.
