- Your order also qualifies for TWO FREEBEES! (That’s double the normal amount!)
Wednesday on my FB Live, I shared these four cards which all showed different ways to take advantage of the Glass Mat Studio while you are creating!
Please watch my FB Live recording below to see lots of different tips and ways to use the Glass Mat Studio!
This simple card showed the completely solid image I got when stamping the BEE and her wings on the Glass Mat Studio! Sometimes with solid stamps like this, it is hard to get a good solid image – well, the Glass Mat Studio to the rescue!!!! Look forward to some beautiful stamped images when you put the Glass Mat studio to use!
My next tip was using a large background stamp – for this card, I used the Sketched Plaid background stamp. No more struggling to hold the large block needed for these large stamps! It’s easy, peasy with the Glass Mat Studio!
Next tip – using the Silicone Mat that comes with the Glass Mat Studio to watercolor! I love to watercolor – I find it quite relaxing! Again- the Glass Mat Studio to the rescue – no mess – the reinker droplets and water are contained in the Silicone Mat – and then a simple wash in the sink cleans it out!
My final tip was how to use masks on the Glass Mat Studio. I used both ink and Shimmer Embossing Paste. So much fun with extremely easy clean up!
I hope you have learned some new things about how to use the Glass Mat Studio and will want to order it this weekend and take advantage of my great ordering special!
