Hi everyone, at 22:39, we lost power but we come back in the video at 25:42. Just skip that section. So sorry about that.

Thanks Mary for the update. i was watching and wondered WTHeck happened. i enjoyed your video and the class from last week. For anyone who uses distress inks and makes a lot of the ink smush backgrounds and doesn"t want to waste the leftover ink and makes even more backgrounds, your first example is a life saver to use them up. I guess I"m just cheap but I would use the center of the pretty solid background paper to stamp and diecut the sentiment. No one will know because it will be covered up by the card.

Don’t know if you’ve ever made any cards with napkins but it’s really fun. My favorite technique is to glue a section of a napkin to a cardstock panel. After it’s completely dry, run panel through an embossing folder. So cool 😍

Hi! I love the simplicity of this card. Thanks for sharing. Exactly what is anti static powder? Where did you purchase the powder box from, so cute?
@marypolancodesigns
5 ай бұрын
I'm not sure what's exactly in it, but think baby powder or corn starch. It takes away the static electricity on the card surface so you can get a perfect impression and embossed image.
If you need a new powder bag, you can use any body powder or even cornstarch.

Stamping is N O T for me (!!) … u n l e s s there is NO other way to get the image I’m going for. I just finished a card using the Art Impressions “Reel Great Guys” set, but had to involve a professional copying service to shrink the image and print it in the position I required. SIZE ISSUES are also what makes me turn to my computer when I need sentiments to fit a specific space. Sadly, I can’t seem to figure out how to add additional typefaces to my computer’s repertoire. And, boy, wouldn’t I l o v e to know how to make the MOCKOFUN app work!! (I managed to make a sentiment in a SEMI-CIRCLE some time back, but somehow lost my saved efforts 🥺😫☹️!!). I will say, there are a few red rubber stamps I would like to own, but they’re mostly “full sized” (even oversized?), “background”, stamps, however.
