On the 5th Day of Christmas…

My true love gave to me….My Acrylix Stamps!  Now, I know what you’re thinking…you already know what to do with stamps.  Well, perhaps I have a little extra tip for you…so keep reading my friends….keep reading 🙂
Does this look familiar?
This is that handy dandy foam sheet that comes with each of our stamp sets.  Now you may already know that it can be a fabulous cushion beneath your cardstock when you are stamping a large image to get a nice crisp image.  But did you know that it can make a great texture tool?  That’s right!  Next time you’re in a pinch and need to add a little something something to that project, grab a foam sheet and wad it up like so.
Then pounce it in your ink pad like you would a stamp and tap it on your cardstock.  Depending on how tightly you wad up the foam and how hard you tap, you’ll get different effects.
Here’s my sample with our beautiful new Veranda papers coming out next month along with one of our new stamp sets – “A Tweet”.
Sorry, this close up is a little blurry, but you get the idea 😉
