I am headed to Dallas Thursday morning to attend a Stampin’ Up! meeting on Saturday and to spend time with my friend Tracey who left us behind for bigger and better things in big “D”.

      Here is the 2nd of four.

3. Using Punches
TIPS:
  1. In most cases, snail adhesive will work to adhere embossed CS. BUT, if the embossing is very deep and intricate you will need to use a stronger adhesive like Fast Fuse.
  2. When using framelits to frame image, use the Magnetic Platform or a piece of painters tape or a Post It Strip to make sure it doesn’t move out of place.
  3. In many cases, turning punches upside down allows you to save paper and in some cases center the stamped image.
