Thin Cuts Tip for Tuesday!

I completely missed this pic when I posted my project last month using the Little Dreamer stamp and Thin Cuts from Close to My Heart.  HERE is a link back to see it if you missed it.

I had a GREAT tip to share when using the stamps and thin cuts on multi-stamp images.  This unicorn has several different stamps to line up to create the image.  If you are a stamp then cut girl like me, this can get a bit tricky.  I found that using the die cut as a guide helps to keep all the "parts" within the frame of the die cut...

Anyone else do this a different way?  Please share your ideas!  :)

Now here is your Tip on Tuesday!

Do you ever get ink where you didn't QUITE mean to when stamping images?  Yeah, me too!  It really can be frustrating, but I have learned that mistakes are often just opportunities to add more bling!  Lol, ok, or just add more of anything...

Take this oops I made, for instance...

I used a Hostess ONLY My Acrylix stamp set for this card--see it here, and enter to win!

I had Black Exclusive Ink on my fingers that of course ended up on my very LAST cloud cut.  Instead of firing up the Explore and cutting out another one, I just added my other embellishments to hide the out of place ink.  :)

What are some of your favorite fixes for misplaced ink?

Just $5 with a $50 purchase!  :)

Tuesday Tip!

Hi crafty peeps!  Time for a Tuesday Tip!

This one is basically housekeeping, but it really does make life a bit more easy.  Ever wonder when you replaced that paper trimmer blade?  Do you have more than one paper trimmer and can't remember which one is the newer blade?  Here is a tip...

Just use a Sharpie to write the date on the new blade!  No more guessing!  ;)
