Mail Art Fun!

11/2/2018

 
Last week for Demo, Bekah was the demonstrator! She shared some ideas on how to make your  mailing envelopes MORE FUN!!! 
Picture
This is a fun idea!! Here, Bekah showed how you can use a stamp just along the edge! She picked this fun image from Stampotique and stamped just the top part of the body... then she used the No-Line Watercolor Technique to really make the image stand out!! 

You can learn about no-line watercolors by visiting our past blog: 
https://www.stampadoodle.com/stampadoodle-blog/no-line-watercolors

Taylored Expressions makes some REALLY fun stamp sets for decorating envelopes! 

Check out this Halloween set, Spooky Mail, that Bekah stamped and heat-embossed onto a black envelope!! 
Picture
Picture
Taylored Expressions offers 3 different sets for decorating envelopes... Love Mail, Snail Mail, and Spooky Mail
Picture
This is a fun idea!! Bekah explained how you can use the techinique from the Reflections Demo to add a reverse stamp image on the front of an envelope! 

Hint: Use your Silicone Craft Mat!!

Learn more about creating Reflections by checking out this past blog: 
​https://www.stampadoodle.com/stampadoodle-blog/category/reflections

Here, Bekah used the Lawn Fawn stamp set,  Concert Critters 
Picture
If you want to add some fun additions to your envelope, but don't have time to get out your stamps, you can use Mrs. Grossman's stickers!! 

These Monster and Birthday stickers that Bekah chose are just PERFECT on this lime green envelope!! 
Picture
Picture
You can add a fun element by creating a mask:
  • Cut out a circle and lay it on the front of an envelope. Use a tiny piece of double-sided tape to hold the circle in place
  • Use Nuvo Blending Sponges to apply some Distress Ink. Bekah used 3 colors of Distress Ink: Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, and Peeled Paint 
  • Gently blend the ink into the paper by softly rubbing the sponges across the surface of the envelope. Start with the lighter colors and then add the darker colors
  • Once you have applied a generous amount of ink, remove the stencil mask 
  • Use fun pens to address your envelope in the empty space you created with the  mask (Bekah used a Parrellel Pen on the sample below) 
Picture
 I love how Bekah followed the curve of the circle here!! It looks SO FUN!! 

Wouldn't you love to receive this bit of art in the mail?!?

Stop by to see us 7 days a week!!

NEW PAPER!!!!

7/8/2017

 
I LOVE when we get new paper in at the store!!! It is just so fun to see all the new prints!

We got in two new paper lines this week: Under the Sea by Echo Park and Cartopia by CartaBella
I just got SO EXCITED when I saw these lines!! As soon as I saw the Submarine paper from the Under the Sea collection, I knew EXACTLY which die-cut I would pair it with! This is Family of Fish by Memory Box
This paper line also has ADORABLE stamps!! I just *fell in love*
Picture
When I saw the Cartopia line.. I immediately had to make a scrapbook page idea! It is just *perfect* for showcasing photos from a road trip!!

I got inspired from ideas on Pinterest (YES, even us creative ladies need Pinterest to get inspired sometimes!!) I loved this idea of folding a page back to expose a pattern underneath and then tacking it in place using a Glue Dot and an orange button. How cute is that?!?
Bekah and I brainstormed ideas on how to make this page fun without making it TOO busy.

I used this die cut from Memory Box, Pinpoint Single Frame. I cut it out of a piece of red paper two times and backed the cutout with black paper. The effect looks almost like a photo strip! It is simple enough to make the page look complete instead of too busy... and gives a nice space to add a couple photos.
We were looking everywhere in the store for a good title for the page.. and then it hit me!! (no pun intended) 

This die-cut from Sizzix, Regal Crest is the PERFECT shape for an interstate sign!! We used two styles of lettering die-cuts, also from Sizzix, to make the little sign. I AM IN LOVE!!! I could not be happier with how it turned out.. what a fun idea!!

To finish off the page, we used these car stickers by Mrs. Grossman's, a bit of Crystal Lacquer and a touch of Star Dust Stickles. I just HAD to add the lacquer to the little head lights! The Stickles were perfect for adding a prickle to the cactus!
I also made a couple cards using this same paper line and they were TOO CUTE! This Happy Summer die-cut is made by Taylored Expressions
Picture
This Adventure die-cut is part of a set, campfire sayings, by Cottage Cutz
With all the other die-cuts we carry.. you can be inspired with other ideas too!! This Old Woody holding a surf board (made by Impression Obsession) would be a perfect addition to any card or page using this paper!
Picture
It sure is fun to create! Stop by and see us this weekend.. we would LOVE to share these ideas with you!!

Tuesday with Wendy Cards 

12/30/2016

 
We loved the last Tuesday with Wednesday card making class!! So much so that I had to write a blog to share all these ideas with you!!
Wendy offers a Tuesday card making class a couple times per month.. the next class is on January 17th at 11am, 1:30pm OR 6pm. Call us at 360-647-9663 to sign up for class or visit our website at www.stampadoodle.com for more information or to see a full class list!
I just love seeing all these card packets come together...
Picture
Here they are!!! I just LOVE these cards!!!
Picture
The first card (shown above on the left) is made using a musical background stamp from Taylored Expressions and a cling tree stamp from Penny Black. Wendy stamped both images on black paper using versamark ink and detail clear embossing powder. Then, she used a bit of bleach on the black paper, which just brings the images to life!! She finished off the card with a few mini star stickers from Stampendous.. I just can't stop loving this card!!!
Picture
The next card (pictured above in the middle) is made using the nesting hearts die-cut from Tonic Crafts. I LOVE this heart shape so much!! Check out the idea she used... she made the card open up to reveal a hidden heart inside! She just taped a heart on either side of the card opening and the interactive effect is SO FUN!! And, as an added embellishment, she added a tiny piece of self-adhesive ribbon to add an elegant touch..
The last card (pictured in the above photo on the right) is made using the same nesting hearts as the card above.
Wendy ran the die-cut through the Sizzix Big Shot but only overlayed the cutting plate on half of the card! Then, she just took the half cut heart and flipped it over... this fold-over effect creates the full heart shape!!! SO CUTE! I love that she used the BoBunny Secret Garden paper too!!!
Picture
Thank you everyone who joined us for this class!!
If you'd like to join us for next class, just sign up by the Saturday before class by calling us or coming in!

Halloween and Fall ideas!

8/12/2016

 
I have been *Loving* all the new Halloween and Fall items that have been coming into the store these last few weeks!!
Picture
Little B has the *BEST* 3D stickers for Halloween. The little pumpkins and witch's hats are really cute!
Picture
We have all sorts of washi tape too.. Bekah made this card, which I love so much! So perfect for Thanksgiving. What an easy way to make a card.. just layer decorative tapes with a *pop* of glitter tape to add more depth!!
Picture
These stamps, which came out just a few weeks ago, have been my favorite of the season so far! That owl stamp... it truly is such a striking image.. and great for fall AND winter depending on the colors you use!!

Picture
Memory Box has come out with some wonderful designs this year. They are quick to put together, making it easy to make invitations, a fall card, or even name cards for your Thanksgiving dinner!
The Batty Triptych is one of those designs where you can use both the cut-out and the reverse image to make cards!! Love this idea..
Picture
By far, the best fall card I've seen all week is this hen card!!! The Penny Hen stamp is from Pink Ink, I just love this stamp so much, and the chicken wire from Cottage Cutz really makes this card come together!! This stamp sentiment is from Verses Rubber Stamps.

Picture
There is even more on its way... swing by the store to see it all!!
