Fall Fest

Next on the list of new product is an adorable Photopolymer set called "Fall Fest".  I had a totally different card in mind, but this retired paper has been on my table for weeks to use up for the troops cards.  So I decided to blend it all together and show you a tip for using Photopolymer stamps on the way. 

The first card shows the pumpkin stamped on Very Vanilla on the table top.  Notice the area with little ink?  Your stamp will look fully inked, but will leave a few areas like below.  How do you correct that?  Not that it's really a bad thing, after all pumpkins are not perfect and a few blemishes add character.

All it takes is a Stampin' Pierce Mat.  Item 126199  $4.95!!  Wow what a bargain and now ALL your photopolymer stamps will stamp without a hiccup!  Fall Fest has 3 different shaped pumpkins, a ghost and 4 leaves and 2 faces.  AND........get ready........FRAMELITS to cut them all out!!  I love this and you love not having to fussy cut.  Woo Hoo, watch for the BOO coming tomorrow!

 

The sentiment is from another new stamp set "For All Things" and here is a picture of a great way to use scraps for all those leaves you are going to want to cut out! 
And the Pierce mat.  See how well loved my mat is for piercing? Yet it works just fine for a soft place for your photopolymer stamps to land and stamp completely.
