The Background Issue | Stamp with Jenn News Update

Published: Tue, 08/29/17

Dear :

      Often when we make up cards we don't give a lot of thought to the background.  In today's issue, I've got two cards where the background really helps make the card.  And speaking of backgrounds, don't forget to RSVP for my Online Party. You can "attend" the party in the background while you go about your day!  Prizes, new products and ideas to show off and more! 
    Happy Stamping! Enjoy!

The Jar of Love stamp set has these adorable firefly stamps.  Notice the background is made with one of my favourite background stamps "Hardwood"- a perfect compliment for this little outdoor jar.

Q.  I notice the background stamps on page 164-165 of the annual catalogue are offered in both wood and clear mount option. Which is the best way to get them?

A. It is always a personal preference how you choose to mount your stamps and for the most part I do choose clear mount.  Mostly because they are easier to see to stamp and they are a little bit cheaper too.  BUT, with these large stamps, I actually prefer the WOOD mount option.  I like the sturdiness of the wood block for stamping these very large images (they cover an entire card front).  And I find the wood block seems to give a better impression for these types of stamps for only a few dollars more.  If you do decide to go clear mount, you will need Stampin' Up! largest block, block F, which is $22.50.
