Do you ever get in a paper crafting slump?  Over the next 10 days, I’ll share 10 ways to get your mojo started when your paper, stamps and ink need a creative boost.

STAMPING MOJO TIP DAY 1:  This is my favorite!  Grab on-trend color combinations, patterns and textures from home d?cor and fashion catalogs.  Today’s card mimics the color and style from this cb2 catalog.  I tear out cool pix from catalogs and keep them in an “inspiration” folder.

THE STAMPIN’ TRIMMER ROTARY ADDITION IS AVAILABLE NOW!  Don’t miss that adorable border above!  The Rotary Addition works with and pops into the Stampin’ Trimmer.  The Straight Cutting Blade slices through layers like “butter” and the decorative blades (I used the Tiny Wave), pop in and out for quick and fun details.  Watch the Stampin’ Up! video below for instruction.

MY STAMPIN’ PRETTY ROTARY TRIMMER TIPS:

  • Important:  Be sure to flip the Cutting Mat in the Trimmer to the smooth side (instead of the groove side) to ensure clean cuts.
  • The Rotary Addition is easy on the wrists.  However, it takes a little extra pressure than you might expect to get a clean cut.  Try it with some scratch paper a couple times to get the touch.
