Happy New Year! We are starting off 2016 with a post that shares some of our most popular blog posts from 2016. This is part of a new feature on the blog this year. On a monthly basis I will be creating a blog post that shares your favorite Stamp & Scrapbook Expo posts from the blog, Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. For these posts, I will be giving away admission passes to the 2016 Stamp & Scrapbook Expo event of your choice. I am very excited to have the chance to share these great projects with you!
Ready? Set! Here we go …
We start off with a Tip of the Day video on Little B’s Perfect Positioner.
Next up is Danielle Flanders blog post on Adding Unexpected Dimension to Cards. In this blog post, Danielle shows exactly how she created the wonderful dimension on these cards.
In this next Tip of the Day video, Richard Garay with Spellbinders Paper Arts shares a great tip on how to create a beautiful letter press finish using your brayer and embossing folders.
Do you have lots of scraps you would like to use up instead of discard? Danielle Flanders uses her scraps to create beautiful cards in her blog post on how to Use Up Those Extra Patterned Paper Scraps.
The last post to share with you today is another Tip of the Day video. In this video, Fran Seiford from Stampendous shows how to take doodling to the next level and create your own art by using some very cool metal stencils from Dreamweaver.
