    Thanks for sharing! I really liked your first one. I’ve always just cut the front off and placed on a new card base.

      The first is my favorite, too, but not for the same mistake. Sometimes I get distracted and apply the first layer and it is not the way I wanted. 😢 You know: uneven margins, not at the angle I wanted, etc. Now I know that it might be saved by heating the adhesive! 😊 Thank you.

    Great tips! Thank you. Another thing I do to get the little peices of paper out of my cutting plates, is to use a lint roller, or a strong peice of packing tape, and it pulls the 'paper dust' right out. 😊 Have a Blessed Day

    I had a bit of a hiccup with a Father’s Day card for my partner’s Dad. I used separate stamps to make up ‘Happy Father’s Day’ inside the card. I usually use a stamping platform, but got a bit cocky and used an acrylic block. Did a practice stamp and it all came out beautifully. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until after I’d stamped in the card that I realised it said ‘Happy Day Father’s’ 😂 I msged my crafty sil and she said he probably wouldn’t notice, and if he did we could say it was a dementia test! He hasn’t said anything, so🤷‍♀️

  • @darcywebb7726

    Those are some fantastic tips, thanks for sharing. I especially like the one about turning the card into an easel card when glued upside down.. although I have modified the inside sentiment to say "don't let the holidays turn you upside down" when I've done that. LOL

  • @brendadainton7497
    @brendadainton7497 8 місяців тому

    • @cottonwoolclouds
      @cottonwoolclouds Рік тому

      I struggle with this, the best explanation I've found is that both dye and pigment inks are water-based, dye inks are like sugar colours dissoved in water, pigment inks are like sand colours mixed in water. Neither can immediately be used with water-colours, but pigment inks can when they are thoroughly dry. Don't know if this is a help, it doesn't help me much!

      The point she was making, is that when you’re folding at a score, ‘bury the bump’. That is, fold so that the bump is on the inside.

    I recently learned about the right way to fold after scoring so it was good to have that lesson reinforced. I didn't realise, however, that I could use my heat gun to melt my double sided tape! Im always sticking things on slightly crooked so will definitely be trying out this tip.

    • @cottonwoolclouds
      @cottonwoolclouds Рік тому

      When I first began crafting I checked in card shops to see which way they folded their cards, which is like the example shown here, and I've done the same ever since (despite many demonstrators saying the opposite).

  • @sweetchildmine08
    @sweetchildmine08 Рік тому

    Hi Lou, I’m having very disappointing results with my colouring efforts. I’m finding Versafine Clair to be lack lustre, getting better results with Memento but it depends on the stamp. My distress inks & oxides appear dried out on purchase. I’ve bought them from several places. Watercolour pencils & regular colouring pencils are not much better. I wonder if it is the paper, I bought it from Craftstash 230gsm cardstock, it feels good quality but it doesn’t tolerate much colouring. Getting a bit fed up as I did go a bit mad buying stamps & dies as a beginner card maker. 😅

    @juliesmith3857 11 місяців тому

    So do I stay understand this correctly if using water coloring, it is best to stamp with either versa Claire pigment Inc. or stays on? And if using alcohol markers, it is best to use a dye ink?

    • @CraftStashcoukTV
      @CraftStashcoukTV  10 місяців тому

      I only ever use Staz-on if I am stamping onto a surface that is shiny/glossy/resistant. Dye ink is best with alcohol markers, Versafine is perfect with water colouring. Lou x

      Only that you have to be very quick and press the foil on while the embossing is still super hot, leave it to cool then peel away 🤷‍♀️

  • @cottonwoolclouds
    @cottonwoolclouds Рік тому

    Inks! I didn't understand this, can't get inks at all, and haven't here either! I understand we need to use opposite media to avoid smudges and runs, so water-based with alcohol and vice versa? Aren't three of the inks you used (pigment Versafine Clair, Memento, and Distress) water-based though? Fine for alcohol markers, but what about water-colouring? Did you mention anything that can be used with water-colours, without having to wait for it to dry completely?
