'Stitchy Bear Stamps was created when a good friend of mine Sue from Beary Dust Stamps and I (Stitchy) were selling our products in the same store. One day we got an unexpected email saying that the store was shutting down and when we went to the store, poof it was gone...So, after the dust cleared and several emails later, Stitchy Bear Stamps was born. We gathered all the other creator's from the original store and away we went. It has been quite a learning experience but none the less we are growing everyday with new fabulous creators. I have always believed when God closes one door another Bigger and Better one opens ;)... Thank you all who have read our little story, I do hope you enjoyed ;) stitchy aka stitchy stamps."

Now on to this weeks DT inspiraiton and Tips!!
Carol using Stitchy Stamps: Rub-A-Dub-Dub & Spring Blossoms papers.
Tip: If adding a sentiment piece to your Digi Image/Paper would obscure some of the image ...add it in Word using a transparent text box before you print!
Tip: Add some liquid pearls to a mini mister and sprits for a lovely shimmer.
Eiglas Kelley Kid's Dog with Boy
Tip: When colouring with markers, always begin with the palest shade of the colour family you are using and layer up, progressing to darker shades as required.
Elaine - using Robyns Fetish Hoppity
Tip - Add a little chalk around a stamped image to make it stand out.
Tip: If you struggle to add variety to a masculine card, because many embellishments are considered feminine (flowers, bows etc), then try a shaped card.
Janette -Stitchy Stamps: Rub-A-Dub-Dub Tip: Add stickles to the white space on bubbles to make the bubble shiny.

Judy using Robyn's Fetish Quill and Paper
Tip: When distressing the edges of your paper or cardstock, be sure to start sponging off the paper first, or at the corners (where it can be darker) to see how rich the color will be.

Tip: If you haven't got the next size up nestie, why not use peel offs round the edge?!
Tip: When using double backed sticky tape, only peel off a bit of the backing and fold it over before placing it on your card. This acts like a little spring so lets you position your card in the correct place before you remove the rest.
Tip: I use for colouring the images with my Prismacolors pencils baby oel from the drugstore, instead of White Spirit. That is ecologically friendly and not harmful to health!
Maggie
Tip: Always 'test' on a scrap piece of paper if shade of Pro markers you're using matches the shade of your papers.

Moriah
Tip: Dust off your Twinkling H2O's or other sparkly kinda paints and use your paintbrush to "ink up" your stamp. :)
Paula
Tip: Use random small bits of designer paper to create beautiful grids and mount of contrasting cardstock.
