May 2018 Stamp Club

I demonstrated this card for the last Stamp Club get-together for this catalog year.  

It was a fun year of stamping, visiting, and making memories!

The Just Getting Started Bundle is so versatile!  I love the FREE notecards and envelopes!  I also used VersaMark ink, Share What You Love Designer Paper (available in Gotta Have It All bundle, or in the 2018-2019 SU catalog), and dimensionals.

We learned the Black Ice technique.  It works with Archival Basic Black, but that will take longer to dry than StazOn.  My biggest tip when doing this technique is to use a VERY light touch when rubbing the VersaMark pad over the copper foil sheet!  The embossing powder sticks to the small amount of VersaMark, making little dots of "black ice"!

The easiest way I have found to do Reverse Image Stamping is with waxed paper.  I added ground and water with an AquaPainter dipped in reinker.  The edges of the Crumb Cake card stock are roughed up with the edge of the Paper Snips.

Use the Stampin' Pierce Mat to get even coverage when you stamp.

Simple or stepped up, the card will be a hit to whoever receives it!  You can't see the pearlized glimmer on the designer paper, but it is beautiful!

The Share What You Love Suite is a sneak peek of the 2018-19 catalog.  

There are 3 great bundles to choose from!  All of the products (except the Statement of the Heart Single Stamp) will be available in the 2018-19 catalog.

-Gotta Have It All Bundle

-1/2” circle punch

-Whisper White card stock

-Whisper White medium envelopes

-Fine Tip Glue Pen OR Multipurpose Liquid Glue & a stamping sponge

TIPS:

-Use the ½” circle punch to make the corners.  If you have the retired “ticket punch”, that works well, too!

-To attach the doily, use the Fine Tip Glue Pen.  You can also put some Multipurpose glue on a sponge and sponge the glue on the back of the doily.

I CASEed this card from another demonstrator's blog.  I loved the leaves!  And it's so easy to get two shades of the same color when you stamp off!

-Just Getting Started Bundle

-Old Olive card stock

-Glitter Enamel Dots

-dimensionals

-Very Vanilla medium envelopes

TIPS:

-Stamp the leaves with ink.  Then stamp again to make the lighter color.  This is called stamping off.

-Attach the small piece of Old Olive card stock to the words.  Then cut both at an angle at the same time.

Check out these great bundles from the Share What You Love Suite!  These bundles are only available until May 31st!  Did you see the new InColors?!?!  You can get those now, too!  Woohoo!

It was a fun night of stamping and visiting at Stamping Fun Night!
