Get it now. Tomorrow it might be gone.
If it’s on sale, you need it.
Never ask your mother her opinion.
You can always take it back.
If you want it, you deserve it !!

To sharpen punches that have become a bit blunt, fold a piece of alfoil in half and use your punch a few times on it and it will be resharpened.
P.S. Love the new website - so easy to navigate around

STICKING FIDDLY LITTLE PUNCHED BITS You know how hard it is to glue little punched shapes securely onto your card or scrapbook page. Here’s a solution for those little punch-outs, grab your widest double-sided tape and stick it onto the back of the piece of paper that you intend to punch your embellishment from. Now punch out your embellishment, it will be pre-glued and you need just to peel away the backing strip when you’re ready to use it on your work. No more sticky fingers! . . . and table, . . . and kids, . . . and cat etc. etc.

Have confidece in yourself & remember that in scrapbooking as with card making whatever you do it is NEVER wrong. It is just different than what you imagined it would be when you started.
You should never admit to anyone that you made a mistake. Because if you do that is what they will remember.

TURN THE NEGATIVE INTO YHE POSITIVE.

Some times the mistake looks better than what you actually intended in the 1st place.

When using clear stamps and want to get that 2 stamped effect, ink the opposite side of your stamp and stamp it first, then clean with soapy water and then stamp the other side as normal - this will save you having to buy 2 stamps!

To get a reflection of a stamp or mirror image on a card use a piece of acetate. First stamp image on card (preferably smooth card) then stamp image on a piece of acetate flip it over and press it below the stamped image matching details of first stamped image. Colour images below in lighter colours to reflect the image.

Never throw away your old makeup brushes. They can help you add great backgroung dabs for your projects. The old eyelash brush is very different.

need to cut thin strips of paper or card?
to keep paper in place use 2 sided sticky tape on your paper and stick to your cutting board this should keep it in place.
this is handy when you only want to cut of a thin strip

Have you ever been working on a scrapbook page or card that and thought “something’s not quite right”. In order to see whether the page/card is well balanced in its layout, turn the work upside down and look again. This tricks the brain into seeing the layout rather than getting distracted by the content. It’s amazing what you can notice this way.
