This issue will be my last as the Technical Editor. 11 years ago I went for a job interview that I certainly didn’t think I was qualified for, I was extremely nervous and excited as it was my favourite cardmaking magazine that I had purchased since it’s beginning. I would devour every page and article, recreating projects and discovering the many…

Q&A WITH JANE Q: Is there any way I can keep my acrylic stamps clear? My ink pads seem to be staining them, does this damage my stamps in anyway? A: There is a little trick I use to keep my acrylic stamps clear, I use VersaMark on them before using a coloured ink pad. Red seems to be the worst culprit for staining stamps. The VersaMark ink also helps get an even coverage of ink especially for those solid images. Unfortunately, this isn’t a fool proof way as I still get some staining every now and then. However, the staining does not damage your stamps. Step 1 Ink the acrylic stamp first with a good layer of VersaMark ink. Step 2 Dab the desired ink pad directly over the…

I pulled out my favourite Concord and 9th stamp set ‘Hello Lovely’ for these two cards, I wanted to show how the same image and similar dies can give different results depending on the colour scheme used.
