Cling Stamp Storage Idea

I love the new Cling Stamps by Stampin' Up!.  Your stamps will now stay on your clear blocks.

I used to save the left over rubber in the case so it was easy to make sure I had returned all the stamps to the case.  Doesn't work for the new stamps. I needed an easy way to insure that I placed all the stamps back.  I scanned the front of the Stampin' Up! image sheet and flipped the picture so I could insert it into the back of the case.  Added my stamps, and WOW I'm a genius!

Some computer skills are necessary.  The step by step picture tutorial can be downloaded HERE.

* All mini-composition books are not identical in size.  Sometimes the length is 1/16" off and the front and back panels are slightly off.  I start with the Cherry Cobbler cardstock size and after I glue it to the book, I trim using an X-ACTO knife. If the sizes vary greatly, small adjustments are needed for the black and patterned paper.

Creating Cards Using Card Maps/Layouts

In the past, I have created cards using card maps/layouts by starting with the card base. I still struggled finding the perfect image to use on a specific card layout.  This time I stamped the image and then looked through my card map/layout pins on Pinterest (HERE)  and created the card from the top layer down.
