FUNtastic Friday- Free Tutorials and MORE!

   

I am not sure if I have shared this tip with you before...if I have I apologize... but this is a tip I use each and every time I stamp a card, that helps me a LOT!  

I have a template I have created, that I print off on my computer.  It has four "practice" card fronts with a grid printed on them.  

I cut this template up into four pieces and when I stamp a card, I first stamp on my "practice" sheet.  

If I am not happy with my first attempt, I toss the computer paper and grab another and stamp until I get it right. 

Then I put the stamped "practice" computer paper beside my cardstock when I am stamping my "good" copy as a reference for placement. 

I don't know about you but I make A LOT of mistakes and man oh man I hate ruining cardstock.  I would much rather practice first on cheap copy paper ( or looseleaf) and then toss that. 

Here is a look at my template: 

And here is a look at what I stamp on when I am figuring out my card design:

The great thing is that my template works for a vertical or a horizontal card.  

If you are interested in this, I have a FREE DOWNLOAD of this 4 per page grid that you can save to your computer for use when you stamp.
