I made a card using 5 of the FREE items from sale-a-bration to show you what they look and stamp like in 'real life', hope you like it!
I made it as my swap for my quarterly training event which was postponed till this Sunday (so this is a little sneak peek Pinkies!)
This is a close up of the card I made with the embossed background. It reminds me of a warm cable knit jumper and is reminiscent of the Orla Kiely designs.
And on this version I thought I would experiment to see if I could stamp the leaf background. It took some time and a stamp-a-majig but I did it! But on comparing the two I preferred the embossed one, thankfully, as I had 30 to make!!

Tuesdays Tip is a regular feature that I plan to share on my blog to give you a little tip to help you get the most from your Stampin' Up! products.
The first tip I wanted to share with you is how to get your Stampin' Up! clear mount stamps to stick to the clear blocks. A fundamental basic when stamping and I have such an easy solution…..
It is just 2 1/2 minutes long and I really hope you find it useful…..
So have a great day, my newsletter will be winging its way to my subscribers shortly and I would love to help you with anything you need so please don't hesitate to get in touch.








You didn’t do the special noise! Corrr! Great video though!xxx

hugs Diane xx
Nice cards Michelle!
Great card en great video! Thanks for your tip, I was using your tip already and it works very well! Xx
I like the embossed card better. I love the color combination too.

Beautiful card Michelle! Thanks for the tip in your video…I leave off the picture on the back of the stamp and I find that annoying, now I won’t have to do that, as you so kindly explained. Cheers Donna 🙂
Great video and an awesome tip for adhering stamps to the blocks. I’ll definitely give this a try. Your card is lovely, thanks for sharing. Happy Stampin’!
Michelle
Thank you ever so much for this wonderful tutorial to keep cling stamps put. I have struggled with this since they first came out. I was just about to give up on them. Thanks again Debie
Brillian tip, Michelle, it’s so frustrating when they don’t stick. Can you please tell us what you cleaned and dried your stamp on in the video?
Thank you for the clear stamp tips. I thought it was me being incompetent, and I’ve even been tempted to stick to wood blocks. Another simple GOOF is I stored my ink blocks lable up. The new super moist pads, leaked everywhere. So I hope no one else has tried this. Thank you Michelle, I liked the card, very Orla Keily. Bang on trend. Sophie
Wonderful tip. Thanks so much from Colorado Springs, Colorado where it is so very dry.
Love the new Tuesday’s Tip feature! And LOVE the leg tip! The only thing I would do differently is put the stamp face down on the work surface and press the block to it, which gives you more pressure and you can see the air coming out at the same time. Great first video – my only disappointment was your slippers. Why don’t they have SU flowers on the front?
Thank you SO much! Most of my clearmount stamps stick well, but the long one from “Lovely As a Tree” just would NOT stick. Now, using your method, it’s stuck firmly. No more messed-up cards caused by the stamp falling off. I’m ecstatic!
