I liked the tip about using the xacto knife to get rid of the little smudge!

The upside down card you can sometimes use your heat gun from the back to loosen the glue tape and foam, then just turn and stick back down. I have heard some people say they use dental floss and run it between the layers to release it.

Great tips!!! Thanks for sharing. Stay self /stay well!!!

I’ve figured out many of these along the way. Wish I had seen this years ago. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my MISTI.

Love your commentary 😂👏🏼👏🏼 love your video Laurel x

Thank you for all of the tips!!

Thank you Kindly for this tutorial. I know I do “ooopsies” frequently, and knowing even someone as skilled as you makes mistakes makes me feel less hopeless. As a viewer watching all the perfect crafting videos it makes me feel like a big failure and sometimes I consider giving up.

thanks for the tips. I use an emery board to remove stray ink from cardstock. Works great

Good idea Karen!

Whenever I glue my front on upside down I do as you did, just cut the back off. But, instead of gluing it to another card; I score the cut off section down about a half inch and then glue just that half inch portion onto the front making it a tent fold card. No wasted paper. Voila!

Thank you,excellent tips. ❤️

So glad to catch you. I’m always putting panels or sentiments on crooked. ☹️

Do you realize, going back in memory, how much paper we wasted, how much frustration we went through, and how many times we stamped and restamped cards with acrylic blocks because our images were not perfect ? Thank God for the stamp positioning tools. Hallelujah !!!

Thank you. I recently found your channel and I am enjoying catching up. Up-side down is sometimes a problem for me, so cutting and placing on a new base happens occasionally. I would like to add that when I first started stamping I 😇received wise advice from a friend - Before you buy any stamping blocks buy a stamp positioner, so that you can have instant success. I have been stamping for 5 or 6 years and still only have two small blocks but my stamp positioner is used every day. Thank you again for all your videos

Thanks for the tips, I have made some of those mistakes and it is good to know how to correct those

Love this, Laurel! I've definitely done 9 out of 10 of these. 😏😂

I've made every single one of these mistakes, thank you for the advice.

💚 The Misti was the first stamp aid I bought when I began using stamps ! I did not trust myself to re-stamp correctly ! But, I kinda like the double stamped image creating a shadow ! 💕 Love your videos. Keep teaching ! 🙋 Nana in se OK usa

Guilty of most of it, love the fixit’s -my panels upside down? Huh! Was just testing ya, that’s what new card bases are for lol Loved your video, Thank you and the last one? I’m still laughing 🤣😂xx😁🧡

Yeah, the upside down card was always a big one for me, forgetting the embossing buddy & ink smudges, I repeat them often, 😂!

Awesome ideas thank you

Buy some "Undu" - great adhesive remover. Safe on photos and archival! That's my saving grace for upside downs, for wrong spots, etc

GREAT video Laurel! I fix my upside down cards the same way too. Sadly, I can say I've made ALL those mistakes....lol! 😆😆😘

Great tips, I've done them all. I love your videos.

Welcome to MY world!! Discovered that by using a "mouse pad" underneath old-fashioned wood-mounted background stamps helps to get a good impression. Also a Memento black dual marker can be invaluable to fix one or two little spots. Thanks for being so real!!

Mistakes are alot of work, aren't they?? I come from the "never give up, never surrender" school of crafting! Who hasn't spent more time salvaging than just starting over? I've got to remind myself it's only paper, but it's my "valuable" time and effort I guess I can't get over. Take care and stay safe! Would you consider collaborating on something? I think it would be a lot of fun!

I forget to use the embossing buddy. That bugs me the most.

I use corn starch in muslin and I am usually reminded that I forgot it when I end up with a constellation of embossing powder around my image.

Upside down... the other flowers reminded me of Foreigner’s “Double Vision”

What about a stamp positioner for stamping on a journal page?

Ink marks on the card front. Need to cover up with sentiment or something else!!!

So, very helpful tips, but I thought this was going to be a video for fixing the mistakes, not preventing them. But thank you! I did appreciate the 2 repairs you did show in this video as well as the info on how not to make mistakes, esp. the ink smudged one. I never seem to get all the ink off. I will have to try that next time.

Me too! So I've got a bookshelf dedicated to weighing down the warped cards. I use 2 pieces of wax paper to put the card between then 3 heavy books on top overnight and the card is flat again. I've seen some videos where they lightly spray the card but I think that might mess up the ink etc. Good luck!

Nice

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Some of the fixes are just using preventative measures. The rest are, how should I put, cover ups. Good video and wise advice from experience. I am new to cardmaking. Was making a birthday card. I had to glue a cake stand onto the card and then a cake on the stand. Oops! Too late! I glued the cake stand upside down. My wife suggested that I just leave it.

Biggest mistake I have made was being in a hurry to clean up and in putting the top back on a red ink pad, I dropped it and it landed ink side down on my beautiful card front. There was no way to cover that one up.

water and a micro fiber cloth most times. For a deep clean, the magic eraser.

Don’t use any product with rubbing alcohol to clean your stamps with.

Left-handed. Everything has to be dry. I keep a bottle of distilled water at hand, especially when stamping. 😁
