Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Fontainne asked:"When you stitch on cards, have you ever used your sewing machine or do you do it strictly from the Stampin' Up! mat pack?"
A: I used to faux stitch on all of my cards using a foam mat and a piercing tool. Six months ago, I dusted off my sewing machine, and now I can't seem to make a card without stitching. I love the way it looks and might never put my machine away again.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Chris has a suggestion for mounting unmounted rubber stamps: "Use Tack 'n Peel™ from Joann's. you don't have to remove it, just put it directly on your blocks, no cushion needed, and then use with any unmounted stamps. save the yellow sheet to put on after you're finished and to protect the sticky side. so easy and no extra cutting. Te easiest way to store unmounted stamps are in empty CD cases - put them in an old cd holder in your closet - you'd be surprised how much these hold."
