Stamp Club February 2017

February Stamp Club was a fun evening filled with stamping, friends, and yummy snacks!  Check out the projects we made below.  

* = Occasions catalog

** = Sale-A-Bration catalog (Get it FREE with each $50+ purchase!)


The card I demonstrated was a fun fold!  It's an easy fold and can be made longer or shorter by changing the dimensions.  This card is an odd size so I used the Envelope Punch Board to make my own envelope!  


stamps:
*Cool Treats
paper:
Chocolate Chip (4 ¼” x 8 ½” and 1” x 7”- Score both at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼”)
Whisper White (4” x 4”  and  ¾” x 2 ¾”)
*Tasty Treats Designer  Paper  (1 ¾” x 4” & 7 ½” x 7 ½”)
ink:
Pear Pizzazz
Peekaboo Peach
Chocolate Chip
Smoky Slate
accessories:
Envelope Punch Board
Simply Scored
Big Shot
*Frozen Treats Framelits
Affectionately Yours Washi Tape
dimensionals

TIPS:
-Attach the 1” Chocolate Chip paper under the Designer Paper.
-Score and fold the chocolate Chip paper.  Set the Whisper White inside, and then fold card to stamp the Pear Pizzazz ice cream in the center.  Remove Whisper White card stock and finish stamping.
The mini cone is cut from the Tasty Treats paper.
-Optional- Use VersaMark, Heat & Stick powder, a heat tool, and silver glitter to make the spoons sparkle!



Balloons are perfect for a birthday card!  And when you can combine coordinating washi tape and Designer Series Paper it's even more perfect!



The Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits have all kinds of cool thinlits in the set.  We used the one that makes you think of a balloon string when you first look at it.  But check it out...!  It also makes a nice little slot for a gift card!

stamps:

Pacific Point (5 ½” x 8 ½”)
Whisper White (1 ½” x 3 ½” and 4” x 5 ¼” inside)

TIPS:

-Stamp the string before adding the middle balloon with dimensionals.





The card above ↑ is done using the Craft Sheet Faux Watercolor technique.  See the how-to below.  I used Shimmery White card stock because is soaks in the ink better than Whisper White.  It's a great alternative to Watercolor Paper.  Plus it has sparkles!!

The card below ↓ is just stamped the regular way by inking up the stamp and stamping on the paper.

**Avant-Garden

Stampin’ Spritzer (or other water spritzer)

TIPS:
-Rub ink pad on Craft Sheet.  Spritz with water.  Use as your “ink pad”.  It will give it a watercolor effect!  This technique is called Craft Sheet Faux Watercolor.





Don't you love how you can put more than one photopolymer stamp on a clear block and stamp it the same over and over?!  That's what we did on this card so the swirly lines matched up evenly every time.  And the Delicate Details set is a Sale-A-Bration choice so you can get it for FREE!!

stamps:
**Delicate Details
*All Things Thanks

paper:
Mint Macaron (5 ½” x 8 ½”)
Tip Top Taupe (3 ¾” x 5”)

TIPS:
-Put both lace border stamps on the clear block at the same time.  It saves time, and keeps the spacing even between them!
