This is basically the before shot. Made these cards using the Tags and Tidings stamp and matching thinlits but then…
This happened!!!
I love the Tags & Tidings stamp but to be honest I was finding lining it up with the matching thinlit a little hard. I am a bit of a perfectionist but no matter how careful I was I could not get an even cut around all of the tags. So I decided to take to it with my scissors to create individual stamps (see above). Now with the help of the trusty Stamparatus, it is a breeze the line them up perfectly.
And the added bonus is that I can use the individual stamps in the Stamparatus to create my favourite wreath designs. How cute is the gingerbread man? I used the candy cane and star from the Sincerely Santa clear mount stamp set. I also cut this stamp apart so that I could use the individual elements. No regrets, however, I may just buy another Tags & Tidings stamp so that I can also use it as a background stamp. There are lots of lovely designs appearing on Pinterest where talented card makers are doing just that!
