[@simplysimplestamping]

Cindy, I am so glad this was helpful for you. Thank you for watching.

[@sirrahinct471]

Another great video Connie. Thank you. I love how you do the sentiment stamped and cut from the under panel card. I have cut a rectangle , oval etc depending on the shape I am using leaving enough boarder to save on specialty paper like mirror board or favorite card stock to use on another card . It also helps to reduce the weight of the card for mailing so it is a 2 for 1 bonus. ❤
