TESTOSTERONE TUESDAY - FROM LAND TO SEA


Bonjour et Hello!

Hello my Estrogen (and a few Testosterone) friends.
I love creating Masculine cards.    


I created a wainscot wall by using  the Moroccan DSP for the wallpaper
and created a 1/4" interval scoring on the bottom half with "Simply Scored
Cut the  strip from the Hearth and Home in 1/2 to separate the wallpaper from the "wood"
Placed Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the window.
 If you have a keen eye, you can see the card with the white frame I used the DSP
with the "diamond" on a horizontal and the green frame on a vertical.
It's a very subtle difference but can it can make a difference on a card.
As for me, I could care less which way my diamonds dangle.......

PUNCH ME BABY, ONE MORE TIME.....

Bonjour et Hello


Remember when I enclosed this template?

Here is the info on how I created my  template for my coordinating stamps and punch bundles


Label your template with "front" before punching your card stock



Place card stock all the way into the punch until the paper stops at the back of the punch




 We use the "FRONT" side only







As you can see, when I have my  clear-mount block down and the stamp image facing up

the images are "mirrored"
 but it will all be fine because when you stamp on your card stock,
 it will be correct lining up the punch

Now you have the perfect placement of your stamp to ink up and stamp with


  I like to place my stamp block on the table with the image  and place my ink onto the image
 this way I can control the pressure of the ink pad and see how much ink is on the image 


Line up the image and punch!



Make sure you stamp close to the bottom edge of the cardstock
If it is too far up from the bottom  you won't be able to align the punch



 Voila, here is my template ready to use when ever I want to match my image to my punch



Bundle away and punch away to make templates for your co-ordinating stamps and punches!





Merci et Thank you for dropping by!

IF IT ZIPS....IT FITS!

Bonjour et Hello,

Just got back from a mini 4-day re-positioning cruise.
I feel I'm as plump as a Thanksgiving turkey, (which happens to be  this weekend in Canada!)

This is my motto:


 Merci et Thank you for stopping by!
