Quick apology for anyone who gets email updates on my blog posts - there has been an issue with it not updating the featured photo and using one from an old post, so it looks like I am sending you an old blog. I am hoping this issue will be fixed for the next blog post! The posts and titles are all correct, just the displayed photo that wasn't updated in the cover and emails.
🌸 Today I am sharing how to use the Creative Craft Products (CraftStash) 5"x7" Stamping Plate for your card making, an inexpensive way to stretch your supplies and use them in a new way! You can use the Stamping Plate as a grip mat, like the Altenew or Waffle Flower grip mats, but you can also use it with all your inks, like a gel plate, there's many techniques to make backgrounds really quickly and get amazing effects with mirror stamping and kiss stamping.
🎨 I show you all of my mistakes, and how to fix them too, in this jam-packed technique video that you can use with any background stamp you may have.
👏 Show some love to all the amazing crafters participating in this video hop by visiting their channels and giving them a like, share, or subscribe. It's a fantastic way to support the crafting community and get inspired!
