So be sure to head over and check it out!! Watch the video tutorial here I will embed the video in this post when I’m back from holiday! You may also think about using a thicker…
At Creativation in January, I had the opportunity to play around with some Twist Tie Stamps from Art Impressions. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the giraffe stamp since they are just too cute! This interactive card is super easy to put together – two score lines, some stamping and die cutting and everything you need comes with the stamp – stamp and die in one package!
