Stamping and Crafting with Trisha: February 2009

Technique spotlight - Bandana

I demonstrated the Bandana technique that I found from a YouTube video done by Ranger Inc.

Mine were done by inking the die cut shape with Pigment ink, heat setting, then stamping with

a flourish and swirl style line stamp image. Taking a white pigment pen, you draw along side of the black ink designs, not on top of them but off to the side, imitating the image. Put dots here and there, and you have a die cut bandana style embellishment for a page of your scrapbook or a charming card! I used the swirl design from the Stampin' Up! set, Priceless.

From boring to BANDANA!!!

Stampers 10 club project for February 2009

So those of you who weren't able to attend our club night, here is the projects and photos to help you along. Photos too!

This is an "almost" completed card that we did at club. The ribbon ties the accordian folded cardstock shut and still shows off some of the adorable print paper.

Taking the 2 pieces of c/s layer then adhere after stamping some random images in VersaMark ink.

The colors used for this accordian fold, ribbon tie, layered card are: Not Quite Navy and Baja Breeze. The two sided paper is Baja Breeze from Stampin' Up! The ribbon is a white satin from a craft store. You should have in your project packet, 3 rhinestone bling, a tag punch out of NQNavy and the cardstock. See the photos for the correct fold (yours are pre scored)
