Learn an easy trick that works every time! Make sure to watch the video all the way through.

Thank you for the vellum tip. Eager to try it.
Jackie,
Thanks for the vellum tip. I love vellum, but shy away from it b/c of the issue with the adhesive showing.
And now you know how to adhere it so you can use it on your cards.
I especially liked the blue card. Very pretty! Who knew it was so easy to glue vellum down? I always used brads or hid where I glued. This looks so easy. I will have to try it. Looking forward to your next video.
I am so glad that this tip was helpful to you.

Loved the video, thank you.
Could you send me a link to your how to use stamping blends?
I just don’t seem to get the hang of it, does it matter what paper/card you are using? When I use the blending tool nothing really seems to happen!
I have a number of videos where I discuss and share tips with Stampin’ Blends. Here’s one to get you started. https://youtu.be/fcwiEU_UvdQ
Yes, with Stampin’ Blends it’s best to use our whisper white thick card stock or the ‘very vanilla’ thick card stock.
I’m not sure what blending tool you are referring to? With Stampin’ Blends you just use the light and dark shades of the same color to get blending effects or use the color lifter with them. Hope this helps!
I love these cards. I have been looking for something to do with vellum.
Awesome! Enjoy making your cards!!
