Merry Wishes
Hi, Jean Okimoto here with another Merry design for you today. I love the new Merry Background for the popular chalkboard effect when stamped in black. For a different look, stamp it with VersaMark and emboss it in white for a cool, frosty background.
Remember to clean your stamps to remove any residual ink after stamping, especially on ‘reverse background’ stamps.
Do you like sequins but wonder how to attach them? Just cut Contempo Circle Border from Scor-Tape Sheets for a whole bunch of adhesive circles. Carefully remove the die, leaving the circles and liners intact. Pick them up and attach them to the sequins with a piercing tool, then transfer the (now) self-adhesive sequin to wherever you want to place it. Use the little adhesive squares between the circles for attaching other little pieces.
