Today I have a card made using the Artiste cartridge and the Perfect Fit - Mom stamp set. This stamp set is another that coordinates with the Artiste cartridge, so it makes crafting a snap! Don't forget that all the information (size and page in the handbook) that you need to use the stamp set in tandem with the cartridge is on the plastic sheet that comes with the stamp set. This takes away all of the guessing of sizing.
For this project I decided to stamp the background as well using a few of the images from the stamp set. I like to occasionally do this because it helps to pull the entire project together. Don't be afraid to do this. It is lots of fun!

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site?
ReplyDeleteIts very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?
