Tips for Making Cards with Expressions in Ink Suite

[@vahodgins]

I have just pulled this stamp bundle out again, and have been playing with it. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I think I will do Kylie's Love it Chop It plan. I don't usually, because I often use DSP for larger objects, but seeing how this paper will be going, while the stamp set and dies will be staying, I figured I might as well use it up in some card kits. Thanks so much for your ideas, because I had forgotten some since last year!

[@pattystamps]

So glad you enjoyed it! Have fun!

[@annbailey7053]

Thank you again for your lovely video

[@pattystamps]

Thanks for watching, I appreciate you!

[@karenhicks2053]

I love the Thank you stamped a little lighter. It really has the same ethereal look as the paper.

Hello Patty! OH MY, WHAT WONDERFUL PROJECTS n’ TIPS THROUGHOUT! I LOVE THE “EXPRESSIONS IN INK” SUITE! Just ordered mine this morn! Is it here yet??!! Haha! I truly loved your “CHOP IT” (BERTUCCI plan) w/this DSP! Doing that ENCOURAGES & INSPIRES one to MAKE THE CARDS! Then the FUN PART is all that’s left~~~so one can let their CREATIVE JUICES FLOW as you did! Having the cards ready to go and just adding Sentiments at a later time for “whatever occasion” (at least for some of the designs) would be SO WONDERFUL! Using the Sentiments in the Suite is TERRIFIC but you could also use MANY MESSAGES to have at your fingertips to “complete” the cards! Just a very enjoyable time with you as I watched your LOVELY CREATIONS come to life! TFS n’ HAPPY CREATIN’! Sending SMILES from Madison, WI! :-))))))

[@pattystamps]

Thanks for watching, Judith!

[@verachighizola2404]

What a great idea---pre-make the basic card and then embellish and add sentiments. Such a time-saver!

[@pattystamps]

glad you enjoyed it!!

[@morganmcneill8847]

Patty on the large die that you put the adhesive sheet on you can take the negative art left and put a background piece of paper on it and it makes a beautiful card front. Try using black with the vibrant polished pink ... it is absolute beautiful

[@pattystamps]

thank you!!

[@Rios3021]

Good idea to have labels ready ahead of time. Thank you…beautiful cards!!

[@dvcrztb]

It was out of focus a lot, but I was able to get a few great ideas and tricks to use. Beautiful cards!

Hi Patty! I just got this stamp set! I really appreciate all of your tips on how to stamp with it!!

[@arlenemiller8766]

I just discovered that I still have some of that dsp and was looking for some fresh ideas on how to get it used up!!! Thanks for all your ideas!!! Where did you get that adhesive sheet for that fancy cutout?

[@pattystamps]

Yay!! i loved that paper.. glad you found some.. enjoy!!

[@marlareames2170]

I am a DSP hoarder! Thanks for giving me a way to cut all that a paper to use for my cards.

[@pattystamps]

You are most welcome!!

[@bevpage5441]

Hi Patty. I've just found you and subscribed. LOVE how you show so many cards and give so many tips, thank you. I would have loved to see the second die cut that you coloured just held over that FANTASTIC green and gold paper instead of the floral just to see how it looked. However, all your cards are beautiful and I'd forgotten how much I like top folding cards so will go back to that style again. I'm waiting on my stamps and dies, but have had the paper since it first came out. I love it and cried when I cut the first sheet, hehehehe. Will certainly be watching your channel from now on. BTW your picture pixillates when you use your dies etc and takes a while to get back into focus. LOVE your tutorials - thank you so much for sharing. Bev from Sydney Australia.

Awesome video if it wasn’t for the quality of the video. I know you said something at the end, but it wasn’t just the end. It was throughout the whole video. I wanted to let you know so you could check out your video hookup or camera to figure out what the problem was. I am not a tech person and I did not watch it live, but I would have told you during your live that it was messing up if I had. I just got my bundle of this yesterday and I haven’t seen much on this set surprisingly. I was surprised it wasn’t in our preorder to be honest. Such gorgeous paper. Can’t wait to see how the other stamp works out for some backgrounds

[@pattystamps]

Yes, i actually had a ton of difficulty at the beginning due to the upload to facebook. i mentioned that and was hoping it would be better. I truly apologize for the facebook live quality issues.

[@theresacampbell1633]

I have noticed that several people huff the stamps sometimes. What exactly does that do for stamping the image?

[@ninakmetz3876]

They do that when the ink has set on the stamp too long and they fear it may have dried out. Huffing on it reactivates the moisture ( I guess) in the ink.

[@theresacampbell1633]

@@ninakmetz3876 thank you

[@pattystamps]

it moistens the ink, which is especially important when I'm stamping slower and explaining on a video
