Beate Johns answers your technique questions.
Q: " I'm still new to stamping and I am totally addicted. I hear everyone talking about artist trading cards but I'm a little unsure of what they are, and what you do with them. Thanks for your help! " -donkey1321
A: Artist trading cards are 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" cards. They are fun to make! Try trading with other stampers to exchange ideas and techniques. Find out how to get 10 trading cards out of one piece of cardstock

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Aunt B has a tip for View-Master Cards.
"I have to tell you, this technique caught my eye. Last February I made the same type of card, only instead of stamping pictures, I used actual photos of me, my husband and the kids. On the outside, I put, 'Who loves you, baby?' and then you dialed whomever up. I did make it so each kid had one without their own picture on it. They loved them!"
