Can anyone tell me how to stamp on this? I know it sounds like a stupid queston, but are there any special techniques?

Thank you!

Default Easy Peasy!

There is so much you can do with glassy white card stock. Here are the basics:

When stamping on Glossy always allow a little extra drying time.
Do not wiggle your stamp, it is slick and will slide easily causing a blurred image. You can use your brayer on glossy too!! Makes a very pretty effect. Try also using white crayon as in the wax resist technique. You can also use Versamark as in Ghosting.. The possibilities are endless!!!!

PLAY, PLAY, PLAY! Glossy is fun!

I'm embarrassed to say how long I've had this and didn't use it because I didn't know how.

I find the glossy is so easy to work with, the details really show. You don't need to press nearly as hard as you do with regular cardstock. I'm making some cards now with the crayon resist technique.

I go in phases. I'll use it a lot and then forget how great it is to work.

I did a search in the SCS gallery for cards that used glossy paper. Here is the link...

Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

You will see that some of the cards were made using techniques such as polished stone and bouncing brayer.

I also went to the resources section and did a search for all the techniques that used glossy paper. Here you will find excellent tutorials for polished stone and bouncing brayer techniques. The link...

Hope this helps...
