Do you want to learn the secret behind the Mirror technique?

I am going to show you two different ways to achieve the mirror technique using your Silicone Craft Sheet and the super fun Hey Chick stamp set. Each way is super easy but one of them helps you be a little more precise.

I have seen this technique many times but never tried it myself until this week. Now that I know how easy it is, I will be looking for many more opportunities to give it a try. 

What is key for the Mirror technique is that you have the Silicone Craft Sheet:

You may have seen me use my Silicone Craft Sheet and Multi-purpose glue to assemble embellishments and prevent making a sticky mess. But did you know this Silicone sheet can help you make magic on your cards too?

 

The first way I show you the Mirror technique is using the Stamparatus:

 

 

I think this is a must-have tool for avid stampers because it helps you perfectly align stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and precisely, and get complete ink coverage. And in my video below I show you how to use the Stamparatus for the Mirror technique. 

 

As I have already written, I used my Hey Chick bundle for my card as well - this is such a fun set and one of the images is perfect for today's technique:

 

I used some of the dies to create fun elements on my card. Here's my card - I hope you will watch my video below and give the mirror technique a try:

I always wanted to get into stamping and looking at this cute card (hello chickens!) I want to get into it even more. Sigh. Maybe one of these days. I'll have to live vicariously through you for now.
