Miss You

Day 1 of Stretch Your Stamps Card 3.

The next card was to stamp onto Acetate with your background stamp.  I have a really hard time of getting Archival ink off of my stamps so I used Brilliance Pigment Ink instead.  I cut, scored and folded the acetate first.  After inking up my stamp I placed the acetate on top of the stamp and pressed the acetate onto the stamp. 

I used my heat gun to dry the ink.  Since I had used a full sheet of acetate I created another card.

Day 1 of Stretch Your Stamps Card 2.  We were to incorporate a tag using the background stamp.  I cut a regular tag out of brown cardstock stamped with the Hello Doily stamp in Early Espresso

I cut my green card stock down to give a little red border then attached the tag and ribbon to the card front.  I used markers to color in the Unity Stamps.

I finished off the inside of the card with the sweetest strawberry vine.

You're never more than a thought away

I'm taking the Stretch Your Stamps class from Online Card Classes.  Yesterday's lesson was using background stamps and there were 5 different cards made using the same background stamp.  I'm unable to make the first card - I needed to use Cut N Dry Felt to make my own ink pad - so it will  have to wait until later. The second card was to stamp the background stamp and using a die to cut up the stamped image then piece it together.  I'm close with my card as I cut 1" squares and pieced the two colors of card stock back together.

I first cut my cardstock down to size of my block, then inked and stamped my image onto both colors of cardstock.



I cut my image down to 4" x 4 1/4" on this card. 

I cut my image down to3 3/4" x 4" on this card. 



Here's both cards together.
