Tuesday's Tip at Ten- Stamp & then Die Cut

Tuesday's Tip at Ten

Stamp & then Die Cut with CLING stamp sets!

 

I usually like to die cut a shape and then stamp on that shape HOWEVER with Cling stamp sets I find it EASIER to stamp first and then die cut. That way you are placing the die exactly where you want it to be. With Photopolymer stamp sets, it doesn't matter because you can see where you are stamping with those kind. 

Hope this helps!!! 

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
