1 Stamp - 5 Ideas

One of the things I love about stamping is that the same stamp can be used to create so many different looks.   This stamp is a dress pattern stamp by Wendy Vecchi from the set called Fashion Style and Art  (SCS 032). 


Here are pics of the stamp on 5 different projects.



Bright and cheery - I paper punched the little heart, there is a tiny button on the red dress and the little black flower is a baby prima with a little orange glitter dot in the middle on the pop dotted orange dress in the middle. 

This is a vintage look!  The dress and skirt were stamped on white tissue paper that I sprayed with tea dye reinker mixed with water in a mini mister.   The background piece was stamped with the green dots from the set before it was embossed.  After it was embossed I inked the surface with tea dye and red marker on the vertical lines and green marker on the horizontal lines.  Staples and buttons finish it off.


 Entirely different look - more of an art journaling/modern look.  Painted tag, stenciled with blue ink, stamped with the dress stamp in jet black archival and finished off with lots of ribbon and a word charm.  I like attaching them with regular safety pins - a good buy with a coupon at Joann's.



Even small stamps can almost always be used to make a  background.  The focus here is the black die cut which is decked out in hounds-tooth paper and gems.  Red, black and white is a classic combination that you can't go wrong with!


Sweet, country Birthday card.  The dress was stamped on printed paper before being cut out; all the papers are Basic Grey.  The paper was from a 6x6 pad which gives you the right scale for this size stamp!

December Point of View

OK, I finally gave in and used an Eiffel Tower stamp. This fun one is a wood mount by Hampton Arts and is included in the price of the class. Class is WEDNESDAY, December 15th at 10:30 am and 6:30 pm. A few comments and the inks I used...




Based on a card that I was fortunate enough to have published in Take Ten....uses Sepia Archival Ink, Vintage Photo Distress, Gold Paint Dabber and Sunflower Sparkle Perfect Pearls Mist.




The new Cosmo Cricket paper and a check out those peeps....Vintage Photo, Fired Brick, Tea Dye and Sepia Archival Ink. Yes, if you have the bird trio stamp from a past class, bring it along. I will have one there to use if you don´t have it.



What is not to love about this new Cosmo Cricket collection?? Straight jet black archival ink...simple, yet effective.



OK, bring along a brayer if you have one....we will play with dye inks...and gloss paper....and a little Versamark and clear embossing powder. I used greens, blues and purples and will have them there, but bring your own if you want to see what you can come up with using ink you already own.



OK. photo fairy failed me...this is my favorite card and you wouldn´t know why to look at this picture! My Mind´s Eye Lost and Found paper, a tag, and Twinkling H20ś make magic. I have about 5 colors but feel free to bring your own if you want to try something besides pink. Just about anything works well with the timeless black and white. I will bring pink, purple, green and blue.
