November 2017 Card Sketch - Double Your Pleasure...
Posted: Wed Nov 01, 2017 12:39 am
...Double your gum...er no, double your cards!
I was really taken by this “twofer” of Jennifer McGuires’ a few weeks ago so I thought this would make a fun (possibly challenging) technique to learn. It takes the right stamp or stamps to create this fun edge stamping as Jennifer calls it but once you get the hang of it, it really streamlines making a set of cards.
I am adding here a link to her video on this technique. I have step-by-step photos that don’t begin to explain this stamping idea. But in a nutshell you are going to take two 4” X 5.25” pieces of card stock (of your choice and color), butt and tape them together on the back side and stamp on the top side by using one stamp or a cluster of stamps, rotating the taped card stock and stamping your image until all four corners are stamped. This can be done with or without a stamp positioner.
Do watch Jennifer’s video, my explanation is just too lame. My first card was created by a cluster of stamps from one set. It’s a little wimpy but it was my first shot at this. The second card (unifinished) was done with just one stamp. One stamp..cluster of stamps...makes no difference in the speed of getting it done.

I’ll finish the black and white flower soon. I just wanted to get something up for the 1st of November.
