Hoping you recover quickly from this cold!! I just recently had a bout of COVID and I’m so grateful to still be breathing again. COPD and COVID don’t mix well! But I’m so glad I saw this video. Love all your journals and can’t wait to see the tall skinny! I think that is on my list next. Healing prayers for you Diane from Florida. 🙏🏻
Good morning Diane💕 Love all your stamps sets, I haven't purchased any new ones in awhile. I need to sort through ones I don't use then I get buy more. 😂 Hope you are feeling better today and I don't hear any noise from worker in your video. "Your Good" Hugs🤗
I hope you are feeling much better my friend, the street noise isn't even noticable my friend. I am so happy you were able to get some of the stamp collections and that you are loving them. I am so excited to see what you will create with all the goodies and the digitals, you are so awesome as always XXX
This was fun to hear you having so much fun! And I totally agree about the stamps!! Absolutely gorgeous! And let's not forget BIG KUDOS TO VERSAFINE for their Claire!!! It makes all the difference in the world! It gives every stamp the best possible outcome! Move over StayZon! Haha Diane, a couple of tips I've learned that I want to pass onto you... The Tim man himself gave me one of my biggest ah-ha moments in stamping one day, during a demo video of a whole different product. He was stamping with his grid stamping blocks & got defending them...saying a lot of people complain to him, mostly because they are thin. I use them and even have some that are starting to crack right on the grid lines. I like having the lines to help put my stamps on straight. ANYWAY, he was saying that the fact that they are flexible is especially helpful for larger stamps...making it easier to press in the middle so that all areas come into full contact with the paper! It was a physics kind of ah-ha moment! 😊If you use a thick block, no matter how hard you press, you're only adding pressure to the perimeter of the block! Now, with the flexible blocks, you want to be careful not to press too hard, like you were saying here...they will mush the design lines together. He puts it down & then presses his fingers all over, to press on every area of the stamp. He calls it "stamping with purpose", & says "CPR" stamping is not necessary. And, as many say...and I totally agree...if the stamp is not mounted on foam, use some sort of foam under your paper. I like just craft foam or even the foamy side of an old placemat (that is the kind with foam on the back, obviously) I hope you aren't annoyed, because everyone has their own ways of stamping (and their own advice they're eager to tell others about 😉) But these stamps are so gorgeous and you were having so much fun, I'm sure you want the best impressions you can get. Anyway, it comes from my heart and appreciation for all you do for us! I can't wait to watch you make these journals!! Please let us know what paper you decided was right for these document covers. They make me think of the blue paper used on wills & other legal documents of today. I think that blue paper would even be great for the fabric sample cards everyone is doing now too. Thanks again! Glad you're having fun! ❤
Love the stamps...get well soon.❤
Lorna has gorgeous everything! All you showed is just beautiful.
Isn't it?
Feel better soon! Those are just gorgeous!
Thank you so much!
The stamps are gorgeous and so are the stencils! The noise doesn't bother me...I barely even heard it. I hope you feel better soon Diane!🥀

Thanks for the useful tips!! I keep forgetting to buy fun foam at Walmart when I'm there
What are you putting your stencils on?. Gelli plate?.
Thanks. Love Lorna stencils. What is her trade name please?. Thank you.
Wish you better Karen
I just put my stencils on the paper I want to color, and apply ink from an ink pad with a brush or a tool with a felt pad on it.
