2010 Calendar

These are the pages from the CD calendars I give to family members for Christmas. It was fun coming up with the ideas and stamping them! I get my calendars from Touche Stamps in Rochester, MN.

Mountain Bay Stamping Club-October

These are the things we made at the Mountain Bay Stamping Club after school tonight. It was great to see the creative ideas the 4th and 5th graders in the club came up with. Their projects looked great!

To make the pumpkins above, we stamped a pumpkin and then a face (or some words), and then punched it out with a tag punch. Then we layered it on a larger tag that was plain, and added a stem with ribbon.


This card is embossed. That was really fun to do! It was a first for most of the stampers in the club.

To make the moon on this candy bag topper, we punched out a circle, and then punched out a portion of that circle.

Happy stamping!

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.
