The Potting Shed

I know this sounds really silly, and I should know how to do this, but how do I transfer a template for cardmaking onto the card or paper ?
thanks

I've got no idea RWR, perhaps Becki might know.

I guess it depends what sort of template you mean.

If, for example, it is a template on how to make a card or a solid figure - you can print it out onto paper or card and cut it out.

If it is something more complicate - I can only think that you trace it onto tracing paper - and if you have any carbon paper you can use that to transfer it to the card, or else, after tracing one side - turn the paper over, and using a soft pencil (B) draw over the lines you traced, then turn it back over, lay it onto the card and use masking tape to keep it still, then trace over the lines again - and the reverse side will transfer to your card

I use templates to block out certain parts of the design so I can have 2 stamps together at the same time. Otherwise I would have said what Lottie did Very Happy
