INKredible Impressions Fall Fest Display #1

Had a wonderful time at the INKredible Impressions Fall Fest Event this past weekend. It was a fun day with stamping and friends. I loved all the displays and ideas... such a talented group.

This is the display I put together to share at the event.

Stampers can't throw anything away... especially a perfectlygood coffee can. I made this snowman's hat using an empty Maxwell House coffee can. I made the base of the hat by tracing a plate on cardboard and black card stock.

Sponged the hat with white craft ink to give the hat some depth.

Made the flowers by hand with card stock and a Stampin' Up! 2 1/2" circle punch.

September Stamping Class Project: Pull Tab Box

This box is sort of like a matchbox box. The only difference is this box is a little bigger... it would fit a gift card or a small gift. The ribbon pull tab makes it easy to side open and close.

Measurements:
- Mossy Meadow card stock: 8 1/2" x 7"

- Score at 7/8" and 2" - on all 4 sides

- English Garden Designer Series Paper: 9 1/4" x 4 5/8"

- Score at 2 1/2", 3 11/16", 6 3/4" and 7 7/8"

Technique Tuesday: Collage Technique

The Collage Technique is one of those techniques that doesn't look good until you are finished stamping and adding all the elements. You have all different kinds of stamped images going in different directions and multiple colors. But when it's done, it makes for a nice vintage look.
