Alter your Stamps to Create Fun Cards

Skill: Beginner

Time: 30 Minutes

Do you have a stamp and wish to use only a section of the image?  Rather than trying to not get ink on a section, you can cut it. So many stamps can be turned into 2 or even 3. You can use sharp scissors but be very careful. Do NOT cut your lovely fingers!
