September Stamp Class

Aahhh, fall: the time of year when fruits are harvested to make yummy preserves, and parents breathe a sigh a relief as their kids go back to school! (Next month: colorful leaves, love it!)

For the two upper cards, we will make our own fruit to coordinate with the Fruit Stand Designer Papers.  A ripe peach popsicle (with a bite taken out of it!) and plump strawberries are easy to make with a few tricks using paper punches and metal dies. The strawberries are tumbling down a cut-away style card: very unique, fun, and easy to make, but what an attention-getter!  Both of these cards will bring smiles to whoever receives them!
The lemonade card is a little tricky as you will be using acetate and need to keep the mason jar clear and free of adhesive. But once you work with it a bit, you'll be able to understand how it can be such a fun element to add to your cards.

In a nod to the kids' backpacks full of shiny new school supplies, one of our stamping projects will be to cover a mini composition notebook, perfect to jot down any ideas or drawings and keep in your purse or take along on a trip.  It's so colorful with papers from the Playful Palette Designer Stack and a matching ribbon bookmark, and you can choose to add your own initial or one from a friend's name to give it to them as a little gift.
