Day 1

Celebrate Cardby Jennifer McGuireFeaturing: Double stamping & DIY ink pad Card size: 4¼"x 5½"

Instructions:1. Cut a piece of Cut N Dry felt to the same size

as the Lattice background stamp.

2. Die cut a heart and use a pencil to trace it onto the felt where desired.

3. Use reinkers to “draw” color onto the felt – in rainbow order starting at the heart. (For a good rainbow of color, try this order: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Squeezed Lemonade, Shabby Shutters, Mowed Lawn, Perfect Peacock and Salty Ocean.) Cover all of the felt with color, being generous with the reinkers.

4. Ink the Lattice background with the DIY inkpad. Stamp onto white cardstock.

5. Ink the stamp again and stamp again, slightly offset. (You can use a stamp positioner to help with this if desired.)

6. Trim the stamp piece.

7. Create a card base from black cardstock. Add the stamped piece.

8. Die cut a heart from white cardstock and cover completely with Picked Raspberry ink. Add to the center of the card.

Continued on next page...


9. Stamp a greeting with Versamark Ink on a black cardstock strip. Add white embossing powder and heat. Trim the ends to a “v” with a square punch and add to card.

10. Add gems.

11. Cut a white cardstock piece to adhere on the inside for a personal message. Stamp a greeting with black ink.

Tips:• You can use many different ink types for creating

your own inkpad. Try Distress Ink or any die or chalk

ink.

• If you don’t have many colors of reinkers, no

worries! Just apply two colors on top of each other

for a mix. (Red and blue make purple, etc.)

11. Place typing paper over the stamped piece and run over with an iron set to no steam. This will remove the embossing powder from the stamped piece. Move the paper and repeat until all the shine of the embossing is gone from the butterflies.

12. Adhere the stamped piece to a white notecard. Add the frame to the notecard also using foam adhesive.

13. Add buttons with string and gems.

14. White heat emboss “thank you” on a vellum strip and add it to the frame with two dots of Glossy Accents on each end. Cover this adhesive with two gems.

Tips:• You can use many ink types for this technique - chalk

or dye inks work best.

• Be careful to not harm your iron. I use an old one,

but craft irons work too.

• To emboss with a wafer thin die (such as the

rectangle one here) is easy. Here are the sandwich

recipes for the Big Shot, Vagabond and Cuttlebug,

Tips:• If you are stamping the name with black ink, there is

no need to mask when stamping the flowers.

• To emboss with a wafer thin die (such as the

rectangle one here) is easy. Here are the sandwich

recipes for the Big Shot, Vagabond and Cuttlebug,

from the bottom up:

◆ Vagabond: Solo Platform with Solo Shim, (a

few cardstock shims if necessary), clear plate,

Spellbinders Tan Embossing Pad, paper, wafer

thin die, clear plate

◆ Cuttlebug: A plate, B plate, (a few cardstock

shims if necessary), Spellbinders Tan

◆ Big Shot: Multi-Purpose Platform on Tab 1,

clear plate, (a few cardstock shims if necessary),

Spellbinders Tan Embossing Pad, paper, wafer

thin die, clear plate

• When creating a notecard set with lots of stamping,

it is helpful to create a

“cheat sheet.” This cheat sheet will help you to

remember the desired stamp placement on the

notecards. (See the class video for helpful tips.)

Awesome Cardby Julie EbersoleFeaturing: Mist embossed resist Card size: 7" x 3½"

Instructions:1. Create a top-folding card measuring 7" x 3½"

from Desert Storm card stock and round the upper right corner.

2. Pressure emboss Polka Dots onto a 1¾" x 3½" piece of Persimmon card stock. Sand it to emphasize the pattern.

3. Mount the Polka Dot embossed piece to the card front as shown and set it aside.

4. Using the Monogram Alphabet, clear emboss the word “awesome” onto a piece of Natural White card stock.

5. Place this into a card box and mist with Mister Huey’s Mists in Dewey and Custard. Blot the excess mist off the embossed letters with a paper towel.

6. Trim this piece to 5½" x 1-7/8" and mount a strip of patterned paper along the bottom. Round the upper right corner.

7. Mount this panel to the card front as shown using 3D Dots. Spell out “you are” with alphabet stickers.

8. Embellish the card front with Star Wood

Veneer shapes.

Tips:• Some mists are more “wet” or have a higher water content

than others, depending on the color. Use a lighter hand,

or keep a farther distance away from the paper you are

misting, to avoid over-saturating and possibly seeping

under the embossed letters. You can always apply another

misting after the first coat dries.

• The closer you hold mists, the more likely you will have

splotches (which may or may not be desired). The farther

away, the finer the mist. Experiment to get results you like

but keep in mind that misting is not always “predictable”.

• Most adhesives will not work on wet surfaces so be sure

any misted pieces are completely dry anywhere you plan

to use adhesive or adhesive-backed embellishments.

Day 4

Great Friend Cardby Jennifer McGuire Featuring: Kissed layered embossing technique Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Stamp the four-petal flower with Versamark

Ink and heat emboss with red embossing powder on light red cardstock.

2. Clean the stamp very well and dust with the Powder Tool. Dust the red embossed flower.

3. Ink the dotted circle stamp with Versamark and kiss it against the clean four-petal flower stamp. Stamp the flower stamp on top of the already embossed flower image, lining it up. Add white embossing powder and use a dry brush to knock away any excess powder. Heat set. (This results in the dotted circle to appear only on the flower.)

4. Repeat Steps 1-3 to create three flowers. Cut each out, leaving a small trim around the edge.

5. Fold the flowers along all the petals, making it dimensional. (See video.) Set aside.

6. Stamp the mini circle image on green cardstock with Versamark and heat emboss with verdigris embossing powder.

7. Stamp over the embossed verdigris image with Versamark and the four-petal flower. Add clear embossing powder and heat.

8. Cut out each of the petals, creating four leaves. Fold each in half and set aside.

9. Stamp the script background with Soft Sand ink on an eggshell notecard. Round the corners.

10. Add a patterned paper strip to the center of the card, along with two very thin white cardstock strips on each side.

11. Ink the “thanks for being a great friend” label with Versamark and stamp on blue paper. Add white embossing powder. Before heat setting, use a dry brush to wipe away embossing powder from the entire image--except the words. This results in just the words being white embossed.

12. Ink the stamp again with Versamark and stamp directly over the first stamped image, lining it up perfectly. Add verdigris embossing powder. Use a dry brush to wipe away all of the embossing powder except that on the frame. Heat set. This results in just the frame being embossed.

13. Add all the stamped pieces to the front of the card using foam adhesive and liquid glue.

14. Heat emboss small butterflies with verdigris powder on blue paper. Cut out and add to the card.

15. Add pearls.

Tips:• Add each of the dimensional flowers with one foam

dot at the back center. Once the card is assembled,

squeeze a bit of Glossy Accents behind all the

pieces to keep them secure.

• Don’t have verdigris powder? Try mixing any color

with metallic for your own special mix.

















































Think Happy Cardby Julie Ebersole Featuring: Stamped acetate Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Make a 4¼” x 5½” side folding card from

Desert Storm card stock.

2. Stamp the circle quartet image with Cotton White ink on Crystal Clear Plastic and allow to dry.

3. Stamp “think happy” with Mountain Rose Ink onto Solar White card stock and trim it out.

4. Trim the stamped the plastic piece to desired size and staple it to card the front as shown.

5. Create a banner from blue patterned paper, slide it underneath the plastic layer and staple it into place.

6. Punch a circle from yellow patterned paper and flush mount it on top of the plastic layer.

7. Mount the “think happy” stamped piece over the circle using 3D Dots.

Tips:• Use a temporary adhesive, such as Washi tape to

anchor the plastic to your work surface. Staz-on

Cotton White ink is “sticky” and this will help

prevent smearing when you lift the stamp up

from the surface.

• Re-ink the Staz-On Cotton White ink pad (this holds

true for any opaque or metallic Staz-On ink) just

prior to use for optimal results.

• When stamping a repeat motif to create a uniform

pattern, it can help to use an over-sized acrylic

block. Your fingers will be out of the way, making it

much easier to see where to position the image as

you stamp.

• Unless you’re stamping words or something with a

definite “direction”, you can flip the stamped plastic

layer so the inking is on the reverse side and more

protected from scratches.

5. Stamp the sentiment on the lower right of an A-2 Natural White card with Espresso ink.

6. Stamp the droplets with Golden Glitz Delicata Pigment partially across the card front in a random fashion.

7. Embellish the card front with a strip of Tissue Tape.

8. Mount the die cut butterfly to the card front with Glossy Accents.

Tips:• Make sure your embossing ink pad is well-inked

before beginning.

• *Sticky Stuff Embossing Powder is more sensitive

than regular embossing powder; pre-heat your

heat tool and keep it a little farther away than you

normally would. Move in closer until you see the

embossing powder start to melt and become “wet”

looking, then move on quickly to another area. If you

overheat this powder, it will “cure” and become hard

and lose all its tackiness—nothing will stick to it.

• After applying glitter (or flock or foiling) to the sticky

embossed image, gently re-heat it to cure/harden it

and “lock” the glitter into it.

• Use Glossy Accents as an adhesive for bulkier

embellishments; it bonds well and dries clear.

• Delicata Ink will shimmer much more if left

un-embossed.

Butterfly Glass Place Settingby Amber DaigreFeaturing: Double-sided stamped die cut

Instructions:1. Die cut a butterfly from white cardstock.

2. Stamp BOTH sides of the die cut using the coordinating butterfly image.

3. Color in the butterfly with markers and fold it in half.

4. Die cut a banner then stamp a name. Adhere the banner to the inside of the butterfly wings.

5. With the butterfly folded, snip a small notch. This will allow the butterfly to rest on the edge of a glass.

Tips:• Stamping both sides of a die cut makes for a very

neat and finished looking project. To do this, look for

stamps and dies that are more or less symmetrical.

This will ensure that both sides of the die cut look

identical.














Life is Good Cardby Nicole MagouirkFeaturing: Quick coloring with mist Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Die cut three butterflies from Neenah

White Cardstock.

2. Stamp each with a butterfly using Memories Black Ink.

3. One at a time, spritz each butterfly with Studio Calico Mister Huey Mist.

4. Take a complimentary color (or the same color if no complimentary color is available) and dip a paintbrush into the bottle of mist. Use a light hand to add deeper, darker color closer to the butterfly’s body or center.

5. Mist over the entire thing with Studio Calico Gold Mister Huey Mist. Let the butterflies dry completely.

6. Trim the patterned paper to 4 x 5¼” and stamp three of the quotes from the MFT Butterflies stamp set onto the strip using Hero Arts Soft Sand Shadow Ink.

7. Lightly mist the background with Studio Calico Clay Mister Huey Mist. Let dry.

8. Trim the orange paper slightly larger and trim the corners of both pieces with the Stub Corner Chomper.

9. Use the Stub Corner Chomper on the card base as well.

10. Attach the butterflies and ribbons with the Tiny Attacher.


43


11. Punch tiny flowers and adhere the flowers, tiny tag and wood veneer heart as shown.

12. Finish with gemstones.

Tips:• You can add as much or as little color as you want

simply by holding the spray bottle farther away from

the project or spraying closely.

• Simplify the design by not adding embellishments

to the center of the butterflies.

• Using a nice black ink gives a great contrast to the

bright mist colors.

Hello There Cardby Lisa SpanglerFeaturing: Label as a door Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Stamp the label with punch ink on an old map.

2. Use a clear ruler and craft knife to cut out the flap, leaving the left side still attached.

3. Score along the left side with a bone folder to make a hinge.

4. Stamp “miss you” and the flourish with black ink on a piece of hexagon paper from the Studio Calico 6x6 paper pad. This piece of paper just has to be big enough to go behind the window opening -- it doesn’t have to be exact.

5. Put adhesive on the back of the window and adhere it in place over top of the message piece.

6. Add a bit of washi tape to the flap to make a pull.

7. Use a typewriter to make a little “open me -->” message on a patterned paper scrap and adhere it to the washi pull.

9. Add a bit of pink and white striped washi tape to a red cardstock scrap and punch out a heart, then adhere it over the flourish. Add a silver metallic decor gem to the center of the heart. The silver metallic decor is flat so it won’t add bulk and the flap can still close.

11. Add a strip of black and white polka dot washi to the card.

12. Layer on the “hello there” message.

Hello There Cardby Julie EbersoleFeaturing:Masking for one-layer card Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Make a 3½" x 5" folded note card from white

card stock.

2. Stamp the label as shown with Mountain Rose ink.

3. Use Masking Paper to create a mask of the label image. Mask off the label on the card.

4. Stamp the Cling Dot Flower Pattern with Butter Bar ink over top of the mask.

5. Stamp “hello there” greeting inside the label with Soft Pool ink.

Tips:1. When creating a mask, cut just inside the

image lines to reduce or eliminate any “halo” effect when you stamp over the top of the image.

2. Be sure to mask off the back of the card as well, when stamping the background onto the card, for a professional finish.

3. Replace the waxy backing to your mask when you are finished with your project and store it with the stamp set for future use. Most masks will last for quite a few projects before needing to be replaced.

12. Stamp the greeting on white cardstock with brown ink. Trim and add to the card.

Tips:• You do not have to use Distress Markers for this

technique. You could use any marker to trace the

image and then paint with the same markers or a

matching watercolor.

• When tracing, be sure that the stamped image is

with a very light ink. My favorite is Soft Sand

Shadow Ink.

• You do not have to use watercolor paper but it does

give better results.

Home Cardby Shari CarrollFeaturing: Watercolor & hidden message Card size: 5½" x 4¼"

Instructions:1. Stamp images onto watercolor paper, starting

with the images that you want to sit on top. For example, the bike was stamped first, then masked and other images stamped over top.

• NOTE: the top of the building to the right was

masked, omitting the roof, when stamping

onto the panel. HOW TO: Place masking tape

directly onto the stamp to cover the roof, ink the

stamp and remove the mask, then stamp onto

the panel. Use a craft knife to cut a slit along the

top of the building.

• To create the slider roof, mask the lower

portion of the building, ink the stamp and

remove the mask, then stamp onto a strip of

watercolor paper.

3. Scribble Distress Markers on an acrylic block or craft sheet. Use a water brush to pick up the color and paint onto the stamped panel.

4. Mount the panel to black cardstock and again onto Daffodil cardstock.

5. Mount the panel to a white card base.

6. Add Glossy Accents to the light, windows and bike metal.

My Coloring Bookby Cristina KowalczykFeaturing: Outline stamps for kid’s coloring Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Print out the coloring book pages and the

cover using the provided template.

2. Trim each page by cutting just inside the guidelines.

3. After you’ve cut out all the pages, you should be left with the cover. Score it down the center and fold it in half.

4. Punch holes in the cover and the pages.

Tips:• Think beyond cards! Outline stamps are perfect for

a project like this, and you can easily customize the

book with a theme that suits the recipient.

• If you tie the twine in a bow (instead of a knot), you

can unlace it to take out and save individual pages

or to add more.

• Stash one of these in your bag for quick

entertainment while you’re out with your little one,

or give one as a gift with a small set of crayons.

Today Cardby Jennifer McGuire Featuring: Curved stamping Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Cut several circles from patterned paper -

each slightly smaller than the last - in rainbow order. Cut the last one into a ring and adhere them together.

2. Mount a border stamp at an arch and white heat emboss on the rainbow.

3. Repeat Step 2, covering the whole rainbow.

4. Trim the rainbow and adhere it to a 3 ¾” x 5 ½” light blue notecard. Cut away any excess from the card’s edge.

5. Die cut a white cloud and stamp the greeting onto it with black ink.

6. Add the cloud with foam adhesive.

Tips:• You could use an electronic die cut machine

to cut individual rings very quickly. If you don’t

have a machine, you can create the rainbow with

overlapping circles cut with a circle cutter. Don’t

have either of these tools? Trace plates to create

circles!

• If your border stamp doesn’t curve easily you can

carefully cut away the extra plastic on the side of the

image. This will allow it to flex more.

Love Always Cardby Lisa CarrollFeaturing: Border used as a background & spotlight stamping Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Stamp the heart border image, repeatedly,

on heavy-duty white cardstock (or watercolor paper) with white pigment ink. Emboss with white embossing powder.

◆ TIP: Stamp and emboss several rows at a time,

rather than one row

at a time.

◆ TIP: Using heavyweight cardstock (100#) or

watercolor paper prevents the paper from

warping or shrinking from so much heat

embossing.

2. Die cut a heart outline image from black cardstock.

◆ TIP: When using a digital die cut machine, die

cut the smaller, inside heart image first, then

the larger, outer heart image.

3. Using the negative piece of black cardstock that you just cut the heart from, lay it over your embossed piece as a mask and watercolor the inside of the heart with Distress Inks.

4. Once dry, adhere to your card base with pop dots and then adhere your die cut heart piece over the watercolored area with pop dots.

5. Cut out a banner, stamp the “Love Always” sentiment, add gemstones on either side, and adhere the banner to the heart die cut.

Season’s Greetingsby Cristina KowalczykFeaturing: Masking with border stamps Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Make a 4¼” x 5½” card from red cardstock.

2. Trim a piece of 4” x 5¼”white cardstock. Create a large triangle mask using Post-It notes. Stamp the Lawn Fawn border repeatedly, starting with the darkest green ink (mojito) at the top and ending with the lightest green ink (moss green).

3. Curve the dotted line from the Faux Ribbon stamp on a block and stamp it at angles down the tree to resemble garland.

4. Remove the mask.

5. Stamp the “Season’s Greetings” sentiment.

6. Punch a star and adhere it to the top of the tree.

7. Adhere the stamped panel to the base.

Tips:• I like to keep holiday cards as flat as possible for

mass mailing, but you could easily dress up this card

by adding some glitter along the garland or the star

or even a gemstone or two.

• Use a bone folder (or your fingernail) to really press

down the edge of your masking paper before you

start stamping for a cleaner edge.

• Before you start stamping, make a small pencil mark

in the center of the white panel at the height where

you want your treetop to reach. Line up the corners

of the Post-It notes at that mark to make sure your

stamping will be centered.

Thinking of You Cardby Maile BellesFeaturing: Images cut from a reverse stamp Card size: 4¼" x 5½"

Instructions:1. Create a card base from kraft cardstock.

2. Impress or emboss the top portion of a white cardstock panel, stamp the bottom with a sentiment and attach to the card base.

3. Stamp the Flower Table Cloth stamp in each of the three colors. Then hand cut flowers and leaves from each color.

4. Arrange and attach the flowers and leaves onto the card base, at different heights, using dimensional adhesive.

Tips:• When working with large rubber background

stamps, begin by laying the stamp (face up) on your

work surface. Ink up the image and then lay your

cardstock onto the inked surface and rub. Be sure

to cover the entire surface with even pressure to get

the best impression possible.

• When trimming your images from a revers type

stamp (like the one I’ve used), cut just outside of the

edge to allow for some of the color to show.

Thanks for Everything Cardby Lisa CarrollFeaturing: Stamped acetate Card size: 5½" x 4¼"

Instructions:1. Using a colored note card (or cardstock that is

colored on one side and white on the other), turn it inside out so the white is now on the outside. Stamp the envelope pattern on the front of the white card base with Soft Sand ink.

2. Trim off ½" from the front of the card lengthwise and save for later. Trim an additional 2½” from the card and discard.

3. Using StazOn Cotton White ink, ink the Table Cloth background stamp and stamp on a sheet of acetate.

4. Once dry, cut a 3" x 5½" strip of the acetate and adhere to the cut side of the card base. Adhere the smaller ½” strip to the edge of the acetate, lining it up so the card front is now a whole A2 size card again. The color of the cardstock inside now shows through the negative areas of the stamped acetate

5. Add complimentary strips of paper to either side of the acetate strip. I used decorative scissors on mine to add additional interest.

6. Stamp your sentiment and add gemstones.

Tip: • The StazOn pad needs to be re-inked before every

use. Making sure it is LIBERALLY inked will help

ensure an even, smooth impression on the acetate

with a reverse image stamp such as this.
