TIP:  When putting your supplies away after using them, remember where you put them.  My Stamp-m-jig for stamping a straight sentiment would be a handy piece of equipment to use in stamping the image so it would be straight. 

Lynne aka Her Craftiness
Tip: I purchased a nail brush at the dollar store which is phenomenal to wash my stamps and embossing folders as it get the ink out of the tiny crevices with no mess!

Jennyfer - Jennyfer Creates
Tip: You can wash your embossing folder with soap and water if the ink is reluctant to come out!
 It won't damage anything.

    Marilyn - Marilyn's Crafts

    

    Tip:  When embossing with text, only one side can be inked with this technique. 
    The other side will display the text as reversed.


    Cindy-  In Love with Paper
    TiP:  Ink the edges of your patterned paper layer, too!

    Sandy- A Working Mom's Joy
    TIP: Less is More!  Let your digi and technique do the talkin' for your card, 
    sometimes extra embellishments are just not needed!
     
     
     
     
     


    TIP: Put all your Christmas card making supplies in a basket to keep close at hand during the season of making cards.

    Tip: Using a baby wipe or makeup remover wipe works really well for cleaning your folders.

My Favorite Craft Tools and Giveaway!!!

Hi everyone, Today's video is a fun one for me. Since getting back into crafting I have noticed that I am pulling certain items over and over again and thought it would be fun to share with you. Two years ago, I took a step back from crafty and downsized 75% of my craft room.  However with just these awesome tools, I have been able to get back into the swing of things and I don't miss having a larger craft room.

Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Review

Good morning friends, Carolyn here with a review of a new tool I just recently purchased.  Received a newsletter from Scrapbook.com recently and checked it out.  But I did not purchase from Scrapbook.com as it's out of stock, so went to another source, and it arrived this past Saturday afternoon. TIP:  Easy way to create borders for your scrapbook page layouts, or embellishing the page or creating edges for your cards.  Gives you ease of creating a border across the edge(s) of paper; and create a border strip and cut down to size you would like for embellishing a sentiment mat for a card or front of card. Supplies used: Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Fiskars' smaller interchangeable border punch cartridges - double scalloped edge   Fiskars AdvantEdge Punch System Here is a short write up about the system: The unique design of the AdvantEdge Punch System by Fiskars allows crafters to add perfectly aligned decorative borders and ribbons to any pr
