All stamps are from Hero Arts with the exception of the 'Bon Voyage', which is from Lawn Fawn.
I've just discovered that waste scraps of laminated card can be run through a Cuttlebug to make brilliant templates, which wipe clean after use.
A little distressing and stamping...
...then remove the template and stamp your other images. Your template can be then be cleaned and put away until next time.
How's that for a thrifty Tuesday top tip... on a Thursday!!
