June 26, 2017 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

“Try” Something New with a a Tri-Fold Card

Actually, now that I think of it, you should be just fine.  When you mount your clear-mount stamps, just leave the rubber framework in the box and you're all set!  No mess.  No fuss.  Your storage is compact, and Hoarders

Where Did You Say to Put that Ink?

August 28, 2009 By Meg Loven Leave a Comment

I absolutely LOVE this technique! As stampers and scrapbookers we are so accustomed to using our supplies in 'traditional' ways, so I love having an 'out of the box' idea. With this technique you're going to ink your Big Shot Textured Impressions Folder, not your stamp or your cardstock! If you're excited about this project, don't
