Tips from the show

• Do not move your stamp between stampings—this is key to the technique.
• You may need to stamp twice on textured card stock to get good detail in all the grooves.
• If you have multiple pieces of card stock, you can cut them into strips and paper piece them back together to create additional unique cards from the offcuts.
