SSS sounds like a great place to work--i guess that is why your service is so good.<br />My tip: I keep my distress ink pads in an old cassette holder. I write the color upside down on the 4 sides of the ink pad in white ink and store the pads upside. Voilà, the pads are easy to find and easy to store.Jan☺https://www.blogger.com/profile/07271533720977778071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668513255877667142.post-12397135626825561302012-11-10T02:55:03.695-05:002012-11-10T02:55:03.695-05:00I vote for Holtz/Rossi!

Think of all the cool signs, distress, grunge, alcohol inks, crackle paint, stickles, accoutrements, well you know what I mean. <br /><br />My tip, I made little matchboxes (out of the same paper I do most of my stamping on) to hold my foam. I then rub the ends of the boxes over the ink pads and I can see exactly what the color will look like on my paper. To make it easier on me, because I can't remember names, I printed labels to put on the end of the box. To keep the matchboxes organized, I glued them in stacks of five and glued three stacks side by side. Finally, paper on the back side of my stacks so I couldn't push them all the way through and a strip on the sides, top and bottom because they are in a room with lots of paper. :) Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206737746788651968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668513255877667142.post-88951531964856285382012-11-09T09:16:23.575-05:002012-11-09T09:16:23.575-05:00Sounds like a fun time!

I love making one-of-a-kind cards but lately have been making at least two cards at a time - I may or may not use the 2nd card but at least it is ready! I also have bought some burlap and spread glue lightly on one side and let it dry. Now it is ready to cut and add to cards without totally coming apart - adds a natural look! I love the tea bag idea and am going to go back and read all the other tips!Maureen Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00443535571532849798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668513255877667142.post-25707656313350268542012-11-09T04:02:44.414-05:002012-11-09T04:02:44.414-05:00Oh, and another tip.

Don't discard your teabag after you've infused your cup. Dab it on whiter paper instead, you will get the loveliest antiqued paper. Try creasing the paper here and there, as the tea will add interest to the creases. And at last, iron it all for sealing the tea. If you want to keep it crincled up, use the heat gun. teanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668513255877667142.post-90722154813934500982012-11-09T01:32:39.009-05:002012-11-09T01:32:39.009-05:00wow how much fun and what a learning day it would ...wow how much fun and what a learning day it would be to hang out with tim. along with a new favorite of mine kristina werner too. that would be awesome..<br />A new thing I started doing in crafting as a new die cutter I use both parts of the paper after cutting it.<br />I use the paper I cut from as a stencil for art journaling..<br />Also a tip or just a lil fyi I recently bought a thick soled pair of summer clearance foam flip flops and used them to make stamps using them and a razor blade.. worked great. erasers work great to carve out stamps too.

As for tips, off the top of my head I guess my tip would be to use a piece of plastic canvas to line up marks you need to guide where to space your brads or eyelets. I just cut a piece the size of an A2 card and then just use a pencil to mark where I want holes to be. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for a chance to win. :DMoosiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04257676638040075481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668513255877667142.post-3884044492968158112012-11-08T22:48:26.311-05:002012-11-08T22:48:26.311-05:00What an amazing crafting day.

Because it can get turned on too easily and we certainly don't want that when not needed.
