Plaid for Guy Cards

Everyday Arches Dies #164629

Do you struggle creating cards for guys? Well, you have lots of company! It's a challenge for many stampers. Try grabbing plaid paper like this classic Timeless Plaid 6X6" Designer Series Paper #164678. Pull colors from the plaid: Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige. It's a great start for masculine cards.

 

Timeless Paids 6X6 Designer Series Paper

Check out these new Everyday Arches Dies #164629! LOVE THEM!! For this card, score and fold the Old Olive cardstock, then place the straight edge of the desired die off the fold just a little. After die cutting, that edge will not cut, but become a hinge!

Treat Yourself!

20241229_141950

Happy New Year, my stampin' friends! As the new year begins, treat yourself to a fresh, new SHAMMY #147042 for stamp cleaning! I am. Just add water to the SHAMMY. No hash chemicals are needed. I even wipe the ink off my clear blocks with the SHAMMY. 

 

20241229_142024

I put my Shammy in an empty stamp case to keep it moist between stamping sessions. When it dries, just re-moisten with water. I like to rinse mine in the sink once in a while. Yes, it will stain. It's a TOOL, so that's OK. 

 

SALE-A-BRATION starts Jan. 7th! Add a SHAMMY to your order then. You'll be glad you did!
