| Stamping with
Rollagraph Wheels |
Stamp Artist - Janet Ciaramitaro
Gingerbread wheel
stamp - Stampin' Up! |
|
| 1. |
Load wheel
and ink cartridge into handle for stamping. Get the ink started
by rolling it several times on scrap paper until you see a clear,
crisp image. |
| 2. |
START AND
END OFF THE CARDSTOCK! In other words, start rolling on your
mat, continue across the cardstock, on to the mat on the other
side. Roll in one direction, only one time. |
| 3. |
If there are
any light spots, you can ink them in with the same color ink.
If there are too many to ink in, start on another card
and do it again. This
time, you might want to place two fingers on the top of the wheel
handle, on either side of the wheel, and apply light pressure
so that the wheel won't "rock" with your wrist as you
roll across the paper. |
| 4. |
Color in the
desired areas. Stamp a greeting between the rows of rolled stamping.
Viola!
A quick and easy card! |

and using double sided thick foam tape mount to your card stock
for a dimensional look. |

| Monochromatic
Stamping |
Sometimes one of the most striking techniques is monochromatic
(or one-color) stamping. Sometimes, this means a variety of different
shades and tints of the same hue; sometimes it simply means one
color for everything - in the same shade and tint. This card
illustrates the latter.
| 1. |
Choose a color
which fits the "mood" of the stamp(s) you're using. |
| 2. |
Stamp and
arrange the layout, including layering with background papers,
etc. (This background stripe paper was made with just a marker
on white
cardstock - NOTHING could be easier!) |
| 3. |
Sit back and
enjoy the effect! |

Homemade Mesh! |
Stamp Artist - Janet Ciaramitaro |
To make your own mesh, use wall repair
tape (get it at the hardware store). It's sticky on one
side, and you can use that stickiness to attach embossing powder
or glitter. Here, I used embossing powder on the non-sticky
side, then
embossed to get a full, rich color. It makes a GREAT new
and interesting background for your stamps - especially the "stitched"
and/or rustic types of stamps.

Dry Embossing
on Vellum
For this project, use the heavier
weight vellum, rather than the usual text weight paper. You'll
need the sturdy quality of this paper to get the most contrast.
There are two methods of using a stencil for dry embossing.
| 1. |
Use a light
table and place the cardstock over the stencil, and use a stylus
to trace the lines of the stencil. |
| 2. |
Put two stencils
together, and sandwich the cardstock between. Be sure to use
low-tack masking tape to keep the cardstock and stencils from
slipping. I taped the stencils together at the top, then inserted
the cardstock. |
|
|
Using a stylus, trace the outline of
the image, then "color in" with the stylus to create
solid white patterns on the vellum. If the ball tip drags,
run the tip over a white candle to lubricate.
In this example, I stamped the greeting
first, after determining where it should go by using the stencil
as a guide. Next, I dry embossed the ornament and bow and
snow to create a soft look. Both stencil and stamp are by Stampendous
Rubber Stamps.

BOO! HALLOWEEN CARD
MATERIALS:
1 piece of yellow-orange card stock,
5.5" x 8.5"
2 scraps of black cover stock
14K Pumpkin embossing powder
White Sparkle Embossing powder
Stamps: 345G Spiderweb, 275C Boo!, and 343I Skeleton
black dye ink pad
clear embossing ink pad
thin black marker
foam tape
two-sided tape
scissors
ruler
|
|
1)
This easy-to-make Halloween card starts with stamping the skeleton
stamp on a piece of black card stock with clear embossing ink.
Emboss the skeleton with the White Sparkle embossing powder.
Then trim around the skeleton leaving a black border of about
1/8 inch.
2) Stamp the Boo! stamp on black cover stock with clear
embossing ink. Emboss with the 14K Pumpkin embossing powder.
Trim around the image, leaving a 1/8" border on this also.
3)
The next step is to stamp the Spider Web stamp in the lower left
hand corner of the folded sheet of yellow-orange cover stock
leaving a 1/4" to 3/8" border. You may wish to pre-draw
a very light line showing where you will be placing the spider
web stamp on the gold paper. You may also draw this line around
the entire card so you will know where to line up your
black marker.
4) Assembly: Line up the Boo! image at an angle in the
upper left hand corner and attach it to the card with 2-sided
tape when you have it at the angle you want. Next, line up the
skeleton image so it overlaps the Boo! image and extends down
to the lower left hand part of your card. Attach it to the card
with foam tape so it appears to be jumping out at you.
5)
Final touches: Using a fine line marker, extend the lines of
the spider web stamp out to form a border around your card. Where
the Boo! stamp overlaps the line, stop and leave a little space
for emphasis. And, you are done with a spooky skeleton card for
Halloween!
