Fab Friday Tips and Tricks : Tying Thread

Leave a comment

I am in love with the Dandelion Wishes stamp set. I just created this card with a large group of people and it was quick to make except for tying the linen thread. So starting today I am going to dedicate Fridays to sharing tips and tricks to help you on your stamping adventures.

QUICK TIP: when using thread use two pieces of linen thread, tie them around the stamped image with a knot and then tie the bow. If your thread seems too loose on the cardstock just use some tape on the back to pull the thread taut. Then adhere your piece of cardstock to your card so noone sees the tape.😊

Hope this comes in handy! Check back next Friday for more tips or head over to my facebook page to watch some stamping videos.
