When tearing mulberry paper, use a ruler, paintbrush and water. Lightly score the paper along the line you want to tear then brush water onto the line. Use your fingers to tear along the wet line. This will give a fluffy, feathered effect edge.

When using peel off tape to mount cropped cards, peel back half of tape cover so it sticks out, do this on all sides. This allows you to line up and centre crop and be held in place, then pull the tape cover off, leaving your crop exactly where you want it! Happy Crafting.

Cards & Stationery Crafty Tip
Have you come across paper templates and wonder how you can make a longer-lasting template? Here's what you can do: 1. Cut out the chosen image from the template with scissors. 2. Paper templates aren't sturdy enough, so find a piece of cardboard such as an empty cereal box. 3. Place the paper template on top of the cardboard. Hold your paper template in place and draw around it with a pencil. 4. Remove the paper template and start to cut out the traced image from the cardboard. 5. Instead of a flimsy paper template, you now have a sturdy cardboard template to last you for quite some time.

Cards & Stationery Crafty Tip
To create letterpress cards with a deep impression, make sure to use soft thick paper (such as Crane's Lettra) and put adequate packing in your press until you achieve the desired level of impression. Once you achieve the level of impression, add ink and print. When printing a large area of text or solid color you may need to allow the rollers to ink the form twice before taking an impression on the paper.

When printing out on vellum paper, always use the 'draft' or 'fast' setting, it will ensure the ink dries quicker. Be sure to remove each piece of vellum off the printer immediately to prevent them stacking - this will stop them smudging.

Cards & Stationery Crafty Tip
It is important when creating a beautiful handmade card to really think about the message that is going to be communicated from the card. Then utilize your materials to evoke feelings about that message. For example, if you are creating a sympathy card to be given to someone who has lost a loved one, then using subdued colors and soft lines is very appropriate. However, if trying to cheer someone up who is ill, then use vibrant colors and splashy images to portray those feelings.
