    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: Kim Pilchar asked: "I am looking for reverse grid instructions."
    A: Score grid lines into your cardstock with the scoring blade of your paper cutter. Flip the cardstock over and stamp images over the grid. The image won't show in the indented lines. Check this beautiful sample, and this forum discussion.
