This week for class we had a LOT of fun and the cards were just wonderful, as usual!!

These cards all taught a different technique..

The first card was made using the new paper from BoBunny, Black Tie Affair and this Vintage Paper Dolls set from Tim Holtz

Check out how everyone colored their little Paper Dolls!! I LOVE THESE!!

It is so fun to see everyone's cards come together at the end!! What  a sweet card this is !!

This next card was made using all these fun Texture stamps from Fred B. Mullett!

The stamps she used: Netting2, Half Shell 1, Half Shell 2, and May All Your Dreams by Prickly Pear

To make the card:

• Stamp out the Netting and Half Shell 2 in black ink on White Cardstock
  
• Stamp out the Half Shell 1 in red ink after all the other images have dried
  
• Stamp out the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner (Wendy used the Tim Holtz Platform to stamp the sentiment)
  

The best part about this card is you can arrange your texture stamps in any way you see fit!

What a fun card this turned out to be!!

This next card was made using this BEAUTIFUL Ferns embossing folder by Cest La Vie, this amazing Spruce Lines stamp from Fred B. Mullett, and the ALL NEW Distress Resist Spray from Tim Holtz

To make this card:

• First, open up your embossing folder and lightly rub the Distress Oxide Ink, Peeled Paint, across the BUMPY SIDE UP side of the embossing folder ONLY
  
• Run your Kromekote paper (shiny side down toward the ink) through your machine in the embossing folder
  
• THEN spritz the surface with the Distress Resist Spray  one time and LET IT DRY (we used a heat gun). **it needs to be FULLY DRY before you continue!**
  
• Rub 2 colors of Distress Ink (Seedless Preserves and Dusty Concord) lightly across the embossed paper. The purple ink should just barely cover the image but not go as deep as the embossed leaves.
  
• Take the Seedless Preserves ink pad, rub it on a craft mat, spritz water to activate the colors, and use ANOTHER small piece of Kromekote paper to lift some of the ink off the craft mat. This will transfer the ink onto the Kromekote paper. Heat-set the paper.
  
• Stamp the Spruce Lines stamp on top of the Kromekote paper you just finished heat-setting using Versafine Olympic Green ink. Heat-set AGAIN.
  
• Put your card together, adding a bit of Ombre Purple Ribbon, and look in awe at how beautiful it is!!
  

This was a VERY popular card in class this week!!

                         GIANT VINTAGE RUBBER STAMP SALE

To benefit local Whatcom County Non-profits

 

Bellingham, WA: Stampadoodle & The Paper Café are having a GIANT used &  vintage Rubber Stamp sale to benefit local non-profits. We have a donation fund that was started 6 years ago. Proceeds are used to buy art supplies for local non-profit groups. The Sale takes place at Stampadoodle 1825 Grant Street Bellingham WA( in the old Skipper’s restaurant building. Sale starts on Saturday at 10am till 5pm and continues on Sunday from 11am till 5pm

The fund originally started by having our customers bring in new handmade cards, we sell  the cards on a special rack in the store. 100% of the proceeds from the card sales goes directly into the fund. It is a great way for our customers to give back to the community and show off their artistic talents!.

Since we have been in business almost 24 years we have accumulated a very large assortment of stamps that have been used in classes and demos.

The owners, Steve and Wendy Schwartz also put on two very successful

Rubber Stamp Cruises back in 1996 and 1997, (The Original Rubber Stamp Cruise), we had A LOT of stamps that we brought along for classes and we decided it’s time for those stamps to find new homes. Most are from companies that have since gone out of business, so many are very sought after in the rubber stamp world.

Local non-profit groups that are in need of art supplies are urged

To contact Stampadoodle with a list of their needs and information

about their programming.
