Rollograph Idea
Lynn

People sometimes roll a wheel across a lunch bag from top to bottom in order to make a quick gift bag. A variation is to roll the whole bag but leave a space about two passes wide at the bottom just above the bottom crease.  Use this space to stamp a related item. For example: pair a checkerboard design with a couple of bird houses  or presents with candles. A fun look!!!!!

Free or Cheap ways
to 3D your image

When you want to put a 3D image on your card use a car air freshener ~ you can get all sorts of scents these days and you just cut it up and glue one side to your card and one to the back of the image ~ when the receiver opens it they get a nice surprise

Mount your own stamps?  Save the rubber to use as pop dots.  I use both the foam and rubber to add different levels of dimension.

I often purchase stamp sets that need to be cut and put together.  I save the excess rubber to use when I am putting a cut image, that I want to stand out, on a card.  It's just like using pop dots but without the cost.

Baby Food Jar Uses

Baby food jars are great when it come to mixing Embossing Powders. I have a bunch of them and couldn't figure out what to do with them. So when I got into mixing Embossing Powders that is where I store them. I am sure there are other uses out there for them.

When you need water for your project, use a baby food jar.  A paper cup tips over very easily and a baby food jar just slides away when bumped into.

Keep your scissors sharp
Jennifer

To keep the blades of your decorative edge scissors sharp, cut through a couple layers of aluminum foil. To help the blades glide smoothly together without catching and ripping your paper, first snip through a sheet of wax paper.
