Stamping Showcase - Happy Tails

Cindy's Stamping Studio
Stamping Showcase
Happy Tails

I have been feeling guilty that I have not done another video for you since before Christmas!  I have decided that until I get a better phone case that I cannot do Facebook Live Videos, BUT that doesn't mean that I cannot do regular videos!!  Today's video I am calling it my Stamping Showcase. Since the new Occasions mini catalog has come out, I just couldn't wait to try out the new Happy Tails stamp set.

I really enjoyed making this video and I hope that you will also. Not only is it a video on making a great card using the Happy Tails stamp set, but I have a number of tips that I share with you all. Some that you might have used or heard of and hopefully a couple that are new to you. Such tips as Tying a Cheaters Knots, Keeping Track of Your Stampin' Blends, Embossing Folders, Coloring Epoxy Droplets and Cutting Ribbon.

Do me a favor, share my video on Facebook or You Tube, leave me a comment on my Blog or on Facebook. It really helps me a lot. Most of all, Enjoy the video while you papercraft. I have left you a special message at the end.
