Digital Stamp 3 Ways #1 – First Posted: Wednesday, October 07, 2009

This is one of 3 videos which show 3 different ways you can use a Digital Stamp simply by altering the size of the digi before you print it. In this video I printed the image on 2 pieces of 6″x6″ patterned paper from a Christmas paper pack by Papermania. I expanded the image to 5 inches tall so that I knew it would fit into a standard size envelope. I paper pieced the stocking then attached it to my card base and cut around the image. I added ribbon and a scallop circle embellishment to complete the project. The other videos show the same Christmas Stocking Digital Stamp used as a card embellishment and a gift tag (see yesterdays post for a picture of them).

This week… – First Posted: Tuesday, October 06, 2009

What I thought I’d do this week is show 3 different ways that you can use a Digital Stamp, there are many more but I’ve picked 3 of them for this that you can do simply by altering the size of the digi before you print it. I will use the same Christmas Stocking Digital Stamp as a card embellishment, a gift tag and to create a shaped card. I’ve made a video of each and I will be posting them over the next week starting tomorrow with the stocking shaped card, you can see them all in the picture below.

Ornate Punch Card – First Posted: Monday, October 05, 2009

I was inspired by this project by Becca and thought I’d give it a go with a Papermania Ornate Punch I have and haven’t used yet, it isn’t a corner rounder punch but I figured it was worth a go. I wasn’t aiming at this being a Christmas card but the middle panel looked a little snowflake like so I added floral corners and a scallop centre with some ribbon. My bloke still says it looks like a Christmas card, oh well, a winter card it is then, a winter wedding card maybe? I used some green vellum I hadn’t used before which is a really pretty colour and added some flat backed pearls and foam pads for added dimension.
