LOL love your tips. When I first started stamping over 25 years ago there was a stamp that said " proper stampers do it standing up"😉. Wish I'd bought it.

Those are great! With the first one if you put the side of the card flush w/ the top of the score board you can not only be sure your sentiment is flush w/ the edge but use a score line to make sure it’s straight, always a challenge for me.

I wish I had found you sooner! I rarely manage to line up my cards with the toppers but never once thought about using a score board to do it. I must remember this one. I'd also like to thank you for keeping the ingredients for cards at an affordable level! I've seen various videos that I would love to try out, but to get the effect of the original would bankrupt me.
