Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques / February 25, 2026 / painters tape, Technique

Hey all I am back with two more cards using the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies. This time I have two techniques to share with you using plain old painters tape. Now if you are an avid crafter then you probably already have a roll of painters tape in your craft room. It can be used in so many great ways and now here are two more techniques. Check out the video below.

On Monday I shared two other cards using the Trusty Tools stamp set. CLICK HERE if you missed that video!
