Mountain Bay Stamping Club

The 4th and 5th graders in the Stamping Club at Mountain Bay School met on Monday, September 28th. We learned basic techniques for stamping, and then got to work making some projects! The card above is made using the "thumping" technique. Ink up a stamp with a lighter color, then use a marker and bounce (or thump) the tip up and down on the inked-up stamp. Use another marker to add more color if you wish. Then stamp on your card stock. It's a quick and easy way to add color to an image! I loved seeing the different ways the girls put this card together!

Another card we made was this red flower card. This quick and simple card can be changed so easily just by using a different color, like the yellow one below!



The final project we did was a "sour cream" container. This box is easy to make! After stamping a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of card stock, roll it into a cylinder shape (like a toilet paper tube). Then squeeze the edges shut and adhere. We used velcro so it was easy to open and close the box.

Bloggers Challenge-August 21st

The Bloggers Challenge this week was to use punches or dies. I used the new butterfly punch, which I also used at my Stamp Club meeting. What a great punch!

Happy stamping!

Harvest Home stamp set

If you buy a set like Harvest Home that is a line stamp, you don't always have to color it in! I hope you enjoy these ideas! And thanks to the people that inspired me to make these cards by sharing their ideas!

The top card is embossed with gold embossing powder. The card stock is Soft Suede and Brushed Gold.

To make this card, cut 3 pieces of card stock (different colors) the same size as the wood block of your stamp. Then stamp the image on each piece. Tear the top layer, then adhere the next layer underneath. Tear that layer and adhere the bottom layer. Then mount it on a slightly larger piece of card stock (in this case black).

Happy stamping!
