I am, finally getting this batch finished. These ones had needed a bit of colour adding, and one needs fixing, as I stamped the quote, realised it needing stamping again. Didn't check my cardstock hadn't moved, so got a blurred repeat.
By the way, using the new Blogger update this week, so we'll see how that goes.
The one bottom left. So, how do we fix the unfixable? We just restamp on a separate piece, and matt it on top,lol.
Not totally happy, I think I should have just binned it, to be honest. But I expect in a couple of days and I'll be ok with it.
Made another batch, as I have more ideas. And there's always the UFO box.
For Belinda, I didn't use watercolour paper, it's just ordinary white card for stamping on.
Christmas cards using a Jennifer McGuire technique, Distress Oxide resist, in the post below.
Regarding the issue I had with my cardstock being lifted and moved out of place on my stamping platform- I have bought a bigger bar magnet off Amazon- just a rare earth magnet, not a special 'crafting' brand one-and that does help,most of the time. But, the absolute best solution I have for you, I came across on I think, SCS. Sizzix brought out some Sticky Grid Sheets, to use on Big Shot plates to hold dies in place, saves using tape. Well, some ladies had started using them in their stamping platform. I had a pack, so gave it a try.
You get 5 in a pack, they're the same size each as a Big Shot plate, so I'd guess roughly A5. On the Sizzix UK site, £7. Beware if you Google for them, as their are specific ones for the Sidekick too, which are much smaller. They really do work, they are tacky, rather than sticky, and hold your cardstock completely still and in place.
And so I'm done for this week, I'll be adding my link at Julias place, The Stamping Ground and popping round to see you all later.
Which just leaves.....And Finally......
