Labels (these can be purchased at any office
supply store and come in a variety of sizes)

Radiant Pearls
Stamp positioner (optional) |
"Believe"
Stamp Artist - Pam Fraser |
Steps:
1) This card uses the label
technique. On to three labels, stamp the ladies face in black
ink. NOTE: You may want to use a stamp positioner so you can
better control where the breaks in the image will occur.
2) Color this with Radiant Pearls.
3) In the same colors you used for the lady in leaves, paint
the Radiant Pearls directly onto the leaf stamp and stamp the
leaf onto the sticker paper. I found I had to smooth edges and
correct the color some once I had stamped it.
4) When the Radiant Peals are set, place the labels and the leaf
on the vellum. Make sure to line the labels up just as they were
originally. Pay attention to spacing; too close or too far apart
distorts the stamp image. Stamp "Believe" in the teal
ink on the leaf image.
5) Stamp the lady bug in pink ink on the leaf image.
6) Cut around the face and leaf images leaving an edge of vellum
all the way around. Expose the adhesive backing on the vellum
and apply the images to the card front. |

"Green Beaded Book"
Stamp Artist - Susan LaCroix
Click
Here to see inside the book! |
| Directions: Cut 4 pieces of paper to 8" x2 3/4"
and the sheet of cardstock to 8" x 3". Fold the paper
sheets in half, then flatten them back out again. These will
be the book's pages. Decorate them however you want to, on both
sides. Let the sheets dry, then put them together again, refold
and set aside. Now, lay the cardstock out in front of you horizontally.
Measure in 4" from the left side and leave a pencil mark
top and bottom. Measure in another 4" from those marks and
mark again top and bottom. Now fold the cardstock where you've
marked, then flatten again. This time measure in from the right
side 1" and mark top and bottom. From each of these marks,
draw a line back to the corner of the nearest fold. Cut along
these lines and discard the scrap. Now fold the cover up again,
with the right flap on top. measure in about 2" from the
right edge and make marks above and below the flap. Unfold the
cover and lay it flat. Cut a slot between the two marks that
you made, for the flap to slide into when the book is closed.
Now you can decorate the book's cover, inside and out. When you're
finished with the cover, lay out flat all of the pages and the
cover and spray them with a fixative such as Krylon to protect
the finish, and let dry. When everything is ready, insert your
collated pages into the cover and use the thumbtack to punch
three holes through the spine of the book, so you can sew it
together. Thread your needle with the clear nylon thread and
insert it from the outside through the middle hole. Don't knot
the thread, and remember to keep about a 4" tail on the
outside of the book to tie off with at the end. Now, bring your
needle up through the top hole and then down through the bottom
hole. Your last stitch brings you back up through the middle
hole but be sure to come up on the other side of the long stitch
on the outside. Remove the needle and tie the ends together into
a knot and trim. Glue the button to the front flap and slide
a tassel or a ribbon through the book like a bookmark. Charms
or beads can be added to this also to add a little sparkle. This
project can take as little or as long as you want it to, depending
on the amount of stamping and coloring you want to do. This one
took me approximately 16 hrs. |
