Tip 1: The Tacky‑Glue Clean‑Up Trick
____________________
“If you ever get a bit of muck or fluff stuck to your card, dab a tiny amount of tacky glue on your fingertip and gently roll it over the area. It lifts the dirt without damaging the card. I use this all the time when my cutting mat gets a bit messy.”
Tip 2: Fixing a Wrong‑Way Stamp With Layering
____________________
“If I stamp something the wrong way round, I don’t throw the card away. I cut a small piece of thick cardstock, glue it neatly over the mistake, and re‑stamp in the correct direction. It adds a little raised panel on the back, which actually looks decorative and intentional.”
