Rachael Merrick - Merrick Makings

Welcome to my crafty channel. I’m Rachael, from Merrick Makings, and I’m an independent Stampin Up demonstrator from Queensland, Australia. I have a love from stamping, cardmaking and papercrafts in general. I started out as a scrapbooker so you will also see some of that on my channel too. I like to share my projects and share all the tips and techniques that I use for everyone to learn from.

    Try stamping onto the silicone sheet. It's an old trick but it works really well. Make sure the stamp pad is fairly juicy no matter what medium you use to transfer the ink. Hope this helps!

  • @rachaelmerrick-merrickmaki5782

    There are lots of surfaces to try, and I sometimes use the silicone mat but not everyone owns one of those.

  • @rachaelmerrick-merrickmaki5782
    @rachaelmerrick-merrickmaki5782Ай бұрын

    Hi Barbara, this technique is called mirror stamping. I stamped the bird onto a glass mat and then placed my cardstock over the top and rubbed gently. It takes a few goes to get a great impression some times but it’s a great cheat too. I’ll make a handy tip Short and upload it for you today. Thanks for watching x
