    Erin, very nice video, but I have a suggestion for you. I noticed you struggling with your CD case to remove a stamp. What I do is save the liner piece that the stamp images come with. Once my stamps are placed inside the CD case, I leave one of the liners in between the front and back covers. Voila! No stamps sticking to one another! Hope this helps.

    Hi Erin, I was glad to have watched the entire video, you have some very good tips to share with us, not just the impression plate technique. And you stamp with such ease that it is always a pleasure to listen and watch you create!!!

    Thanks for the tips, and new ideas. I also have a tip, I use the paper that the image for the cd case comes on, it’s kinda off white. I put that inside the cd case in-between the stamps, not only will the stamps not stick but best of all you can see the stamps clearly without the other side showing through.

    Hey Everybody!

    Glad you liked the video.:) To answer a question or two:

    1. The little scoreboard I used is called the Mini Score Buddy (Mini Scor Buddy?). I’m sure with a Google search you can get your hands on one.

    2. Thanks for the tip about making it easier for my CD cases to open. I actually do use the carrier sheet the stamps come on between the two sides and it still sticks. I think perhaps I had laid something relatively heavy on it and maybe the pressure made it stick more? No biggie. Just got to be careful.

    Thanks for the video. While I liked the technique, the take away for me was to design a card front and adhere to a white card base. I have never seen this before but found it very clever. It solves the issue of having to create a liner for colored cards!

    What a great video … not only the great technique, but lots of general tips too (who’d a thunk to line the block up when putting the stamp on it … much easier than a Stamp-a-ma-jig!!!
