When I first started stamping I was feeling clumsy, uninspired and a bit timid about how to get started. I loved my first experience with stamping and bought everything I needed to make Christmas cards that year and then....froze.
So I asked my Stampin' Up! demonstrator (at that time) for the best way to get started. And here is some advice she gave to me.
- Copy what you see in the catalogs!
Catalogs are also idea books so if you get start thumb through the catalog looking for ideas to copy directly or card ideas that you like that use different supplies. Try those ideas using the supplies you have on hand.
2. Head to Pinterest and type in the name of the stamp set you want to use. Tip: don't spend hours browsing, find an idea and get give it a try. Click here to see my Pinterest boards.
3. Head to YouTube. I love this platform, not only for ideas but for now to make them - usually step by step. Most of us would rather see live examples rather than download a PDF and try to figure it all out on our own. Yes, I have a YouTube channel too and post a new video idea every Sunday.
What is the best advice you ever received about paper crafting? I would love to know - why not leave me a comment to tell me.
