Some tips + a new card!
So I was talking with some paper crafting friends yesterday and we have some general tips to share with you:
- When you have scraps of card stock large enough to create a card out of, fold it in half and set it aside (she used a drawer) so you'll always have folded cards on hand. Smart!
- Create your own imaging sheets for the Stamp-a-ma-jig by cutting down some vellum card stock. Then you can keep those sheets inside your stamp set boxes and always have them ready. Great for sentiment sets and alphabets.
- Some of you have asked about how I tie ribbon into knots. I tried to use my old digital camera that has movie capabilities to capture some knot tying, but alas, I don't have enough hands! Plus the lighting was really bad. Anyway, here's the tip I learned a while ago: Left over right, pull tight, right over left, and then pull tight but more with the left side (this turns the knot under so you get a good looking knot). It's hard to explain without visuals, but if any of you understood that, let me know! :)
Anyway, here's a card for your Saturday afternoon.

Thanks for the ribbon tip! I am off to go try it now -- I'll let you know if it works as good for me as it does for you :)
Great card today, love it!
What a beautiful card. I love all the glitter. Thanks for the description of how you tie bows. I always have trouble getting a good looking knot. Thanks for sharing all your tips. Have a great day!

Thank you so much for the knot help! I have been trying to get mine to look good for so long and the first time I tried your method it came out beautiful. Now is there a trick to bows?
Thanks for the tip. I'm new at this, love all the ribbons I see, but have had a hard time achieving the "perfect knot." I'll give this a try. Seems simple enough for even a beginner!
