Stamping Fun 101

Re-creating Catalog Projects

In March, I hosted a Coffee and Catalog class where we re-created this cute card with the versatile stamp set Fun & Fast Notes from the Idea Book & Catalog, page 56. 

Then we began experimenting with other images from the set! 

Some cards use a larger Circle Punch for the Whisper White card stock.

HOW TO:

1. The images are stamped on both the Whisper White and the Close to Cocoa card stocks. 
2. Cut out the image stamped on the Cocoa.  Punch out the White Circle.
3. Adhere the Cocoa piece over the image you have stamped on the White Circle punched piece.  This technique is called Paper Piecing.

I have scheduled a second class with a different project. If you are in the Hampton Roads, Virginia area; join us for coffee and crafting on Thursday, May 20!

Email me to RSVP or place an order.  Order online 24/7.

All of the Idea Book & Catalog supplies can be found in a link in the right column of my blog under Catalog Supplies.

Sneak Peek from Easter Class

Isn't the Chocolate Bunny stamp from the Occasions Mini Catalog so cute!

The detail is fabulous, he looks just like the real thing! 

I stamped every combination of brown ink on various colors of card stock and my favorite is Chocolate Chip ink on Creamy Caramel card stock. I recommend you do the same, what colors are your favorites?   I admit this doesn't look the most "chocolate-y" but you can see the most detail with this combination!

It's not too late to RSVP for one of my Easter Classes this weekend!  If you are in the Hampton Roads area join us Saturday, February 20 or Sunday, February 21 at 10:00 am.

Create three Easter cards and a 3-D project with the Eggcellent Eggs Kit and other Occasions Mini Catalog products.  

Cost: pay what you think the class was worth. Really!
