Take a look at all the dimension Kathy has managed to add to this image from the French Fries set of digital stamps. By layering the image in multiple sections she has created depth, resulting in an amazing 3D illusion.

Hot Tip Tuesday
When printing digital elements, resize them to match the tools you have in your collection. Punches and dies are handy and quick for cutting basic shapes, so make sure they match for quick and easy cutting!

Wild and Crazy
These two fabulous cards were created by Anesha using the new Ruff Day set of digital stamps. She added hand-drawn borders around the different paper layers to give a fun, relaxed look to her projects.

Everything Papercraft - Tombow Markers
Tombow Pencil Co. is a manufacturer that was originally founded in Japan in 1913, initially producing high quality writing and coloured pencils, and later adding other stationery and art supplies such as glue, correction tape, erasers, and markers.
Tombow markers are dual ended, water-based markers that feature a brush nib on one end and a fine bullet tip on the other. They come in over 100 different colours, plus a blending pen, and are very popular with papercraft artists due to their vibrant pigments and wide availability. The flexible brush tip and odorless ink also make them a favourite of calligraphers and graphic artists.

Old Yeller
I wanted to create a subtle background that didn't distract too much from the conversation occurring between the old Labrador and his butterfly friend. I chose a soft blue-grey for the sky, which I brushed in over a cloud template, cut from a sheet of printer paper, then added some grass with ink and a water pen.

Birthdays Are Like Fries...
Karin has created this fun card using the new French Fries set of stamps. The fun sentiment she added translates in English to: "Birthdays are like fries, you enjoy them more if you don't count them".
