Stamp Camp Projects!

I finally had some time to play! Here are the projects we will make at Stamp Camp on Thursday, February 12th.

The first project is a fancy little bag - great for giving a small gift!

Colors: Crystal Blue, Twilight
Papers: Emporium paper pack (new!)
Stamps: February Word Puzzle
Accessories: Crystal Blue Organdy Ribbon

The second project is a card made with the February Stamp of the Month, Easter Eggs. That's right! It's a set of 19 different eggs - all of them have some sort of pattern on them - and one sentiment.

I made the border and the flower with two of the eggs from the set! Gotta think outside the box so you can use those stamps year round!

Colors: Sweet Leaf, Crystal Blue, Twilight
Papers: Emporium paper pack
Stamps: Easter Eggs (border, flower); Rustic Flowers (flower center); Dainty Thoughts (sentiment)
Accessories: Pewter Designer Brads (new!)

Slider card directions

You will need:

5 ½ x 8 ½ White Daisy CS scored at 4 1/4" for a top fold card.

5 ½ x 4 ¼ patterned paper

1 x 5 ½ and 1 ¼ x 5 ½ Stripe B&T

1 ¼ x 5 ½ and 1 ½ x 5 ½ Black cardstock

White Daisy scraps

Stamps: frame (make sure the border is thin), image to go in frame

Directions:

Adhere Lilac Mist B&T to bottom half of card.

Adhere 1 1/2" border to top of B&T

Stamp frame 1/2" from bottom and left side

Stamp Happy Birthda to the right of the frame

Stamp "pull" on white cs and cut out. (you can also just stamp this on the end of the pull strip)

Stamp frame and image inside frame on white cs and cut out.

Cut out inside of frame on card (keep card open so you are only cutting through one side of base) using the cutting knife and versamat. Use finishing files to clean up inside edges as needed.

Fold over card and stamp an image inside frame.

Open card and lay pull strip 1/2" from the left and 7/8" from the bottom (or whatever dimensions you need to center in cut frame). Adhere pop dot strips (cut straight pieces from what's left of pop dot packaging when dots are removed) above and below the stip - to hold the strip in place. Adhere another pop dot strip on inside end of pull strip. Position the stamped, cut-out frame over the the cut-out frame on card front and attach to pop dot strip on the pull strip.

Use additional pop dot material (or cut up pop dots) along inside edge of card. Fold down card to seal. Be sure to avoid the pull strip area when sealing.

I hope this makes sense! It took some time to figure them out when I made it, so don't get frustrated right away!

Sorry for the long absence!

My life has been taken over by the basement remodel lately. The good news is we're almost finished (just trim and touch ups to do!)!

Anyway, I thought I'd post pictures of my stamping space today. I literally have space that is 5' x 8' (I know this because everything is the rug I have on the floor)! This is about as clean as it's gonna get, so here goes!

This is the whole space:
