April Stamp Class

Hooray, my Stamparatus tool has finally arrived! For those of you who may not know what I'm talking about, this is the newest "must have" stamper's alignment tool for doing so many stamping
functions better, faster, and in multiples!  I'm planning on a class that will focus on many of its different functions and techniques soon, so stay tuned!

The first card for this month will use the Stamparatus doing one of the things it does best: two-step stamping.  No more guessing if the solid or line images will line up "this time", or having to make a special placement piece like before.  In just a few steps, you'll stamp the flower images and use 3 colors to fill the design in rapid succession, just like that!  Any level of stamper can now be an expert!  Isn't innovation wonderful?!

The yellow daisy card has a simple but unique layer that flips up from its gatefold base, and uses two different Designer printed papers together for a totally colorful look of many tones. Both this and the previous card are perfect for almost any occasion.  Just change out the word sentiments and you're set!

The silver and pink "cake card" is perfect if you love gorgeous, shiny bling!  The filigree foiled cake base, outlines on the flower printed paper, and even the satin ribbon are all shiny silver and super special!  Note the  silver striped vellum cut-out panel in the front, another unique layout that is easy to do but so effective. A perfect wedding, anniversary, or special lady's birthday card; it might be hard to give this one away.

Do you find it a bit harder to make "guy cards", or at least ones that are more serene and subdued? But the mountain scene in the last card is very satisfying to make with the assorted stamps in the set, plus there is the embossed wood grain back to coordinate with the white-washed wood on the bottom.  The little wooden leaf stem behind the knotted ombre ribbon is the perfect final touch for your special guy's birthday, perhaps Father's Day next month, or a sympathy/get well card. Sometimes special isn't glitzy, it's just tastefully sincere. 

So grab a stamping buddy, save the date, and come on by to check it all out!
