Episode 4 Using Grid Mouse Pads with Stampoholic

This week I had the opportunity to use the Grid Mouse Pads that were created for the Stampoholic regular and Nano tools.  There are very handy for finding the perfect placement for your stamp.  You just use it in place of the regular black foam pad.  I decided to permanently mark on mine the size of an A4 card front and show the center lines so that I can place my stamps exactly where I want them to appear on my cards.

I also realized that the grid lines are perfect to create shadow stamps.  This is where you stamp an image and then slightly move the paper and stamp again in a different color to create a shadow.  Makes for a very beautiful sentiment on a card!

I really love how my card turned out - I also added some wink of stella to the word awesome to help it glitter and shine.

Here is the link to my video for this week :

Episode 3 Red Rubber Stamps With STAMPOHOLIC+ GIVEAWAYS

Hi Friends!!
We are super excited as we are heading to our Vacations from tomorrow, So the orders placed from now on will be shipped only after we return from our trp, ie. after 25th June only. But we have exciting offers for you .

All orders placed on our facebook shop will get US$ 10 worth of gifts.  Please read the complete post HERE  So Now Over to Sarah...

This week I would like to show you how to use your Stampoholic with red rubber stamps. We all know it works great for clear acrylic but did you know that you can take out the foam mat and use it for your larger rubber stamps and it works especially great for the large background stamps.

I always have such a hard time stamping larger red rubber background stamps even after going out and getting the special acrylic rocker handle.  I still get spots that don't stamp well and you know you can't just try and line that up and stamp it again - nope - you have to keep going until you get one that you like.

I have wasted so many pieces of paper trying to get the perfect impression and in some cases just leave the background stamps in my room to collect dust because it is too frustrating.

Well now they can come back out to play.  All you need to do is remove your foam mat and use temporary adhesive on your piece of paper to place it on the acrylic base and then stamp away.  This stamp I used is so detailed that it took quite a few impressions but totally worth it in the end to get an image that you can use and I didn't waste any paper.

Now pull out your red rubber and get stamping.  Check out the video to see my finished cards and the full process.

Hope you enjoy the video and get inspired to make many great projects.  But before you go Die Cuts and More is having a give away, at the end of this 6 Video series there will be a draw and you can win a Stampoholic Nano of your very own.  Please see the rules below.
