Hello my crafty friends! I have decided to do a New weekly video series of tips. The first few weeks are going to be a Back to Basics approach for anyone new to stamping or anyone that wants a refresh!

How to Read a Ruler:
Do you struggle to read a ruler, or find you ask yourself, “Where is the quarter inch mark on a ruler? And what….3/16th of an inch??!” Let me help you out! Reading a ruler is something we all need to learn and if you want to know “what are the measurements on a ruler?” I think this video will help you measure things out in no time.
