I have, over the last few weeks, completed 4 Back to Basics videos, looking at the basic tools we need in our cardmaking and some of the tricks and tips around them. I have felt inspired to do these, not only to encourage new crafters, but also to help more advanced crafters to grow in confidence. It is a way of passing on some of the tricks and tips I have learnt over the 17/18 years I have been making cards.
I have already blogged about paper and ink, so I thought I would share with you about adhesives and types of stamps.
This third video in the series was all about adhesives and their uses.
Whether you want to stick paper to paper, ribbon, embellishments all the possibilities were explored and the features and advantages of all the sticky stuff available through Stampin’ Up.
You can find them all in my online shop here
In the fourth video, we explored the different types of stamps that are available in the Stampin’ Up product range
We didn’t look at the basics and tricks about how to stamp. For this video, we just looked at the type of stamps and why we need a variety of options. Look out in a couple of weeks for our venture into actual stamping and those tips that will help you to find success with your stamps.
You will find all the current collection of Stampin’ Up! stamps in my online shop here
