using other stamp sets and other Designer Series Paper. The secret is to have the lighter colored
designs on the inside of the note.

matting tip: cut the mat 1/4" larger (in both dimensions) than the wood
block size of the image stamp to get 1/8" border all around.

tip: make sure your piece of paper or card stock is at least 1" more than
the width of the punch so you have enough room to hold it steady while you are
lining up the image and punching it out.
