Wednesday, March 6th
at 7:00pm
Where did February go? How is it already March? Since time seems to go SO quickly these days, I have decided that this month’s Mystery Stamping project should be a quick and easy technique that would lend itself to ANY project, so we all have time to make more cards in less time!
So, gather up your supplies and your favorite beverage and come solve the mystery with me on Wednesday!
I do have a few open seats at the Stamp Pad for this session of Mystery Stamping and of course there is ALWAYS room for you to join us via Zoom. Be sure to email me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com by 3:00pm on Tuesday, December 19th, so I can add you to the Zoom email list. You should receive the email with the link by 5:00pm. If you do not receive it by then, please contact me via text or email.
If you are joining us live at the Stamp Pad please arrive between 6:30 to 6:50pm to chat and get set up, so we can begin promptly at 7:00pm. Please join us via Zoom by 7:00pm. If you are joining via Facebook Live we will start by 7:05pm. Please remember to keep chatting to a minimum in person or virtual unless you have a question about the project. We will have time to chat and ask any non-project questions after we finish.
Email me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com to RSVP for live or virtual spots.
Here is the scoop on how our Mystery Stamping Parties work. – You will need to gather your supplies and cut your cardstock before the party. There is a list of supplies (some are suggested, so don’t worry if you don’t have everything) and cardstock dimensions below.
During the party I will give you step-by-step directions to make your card along with some tips and tricks. We will NOT share anything about our projects until the very end.
PLEASE note that that I might practice a fancy fold to make sure I understand how it works, but I DO NOT create the full project until I do it with you. So, it is always a mystery how it will all turn out for me, just like it is for you!
It is always so much fun to see how everyone interprets the directions and with everyone using different stamps, cardstock, DSP, etc.., everyone’s card will be a one of a kind!
Please note that you CAN use anything you have in regards to stamp sets, punches, cardstock, DSP or embellishments. It can be retired if you have something you like and want to use.
Hint, if this is your first time joining us, you might consider prepping two sets of cardstock and DSP. We lovingly call this “Pulling an Allison.” This ensures that if something goes wrong or you decide you don’t like how something goes together you can easily fix it.
Here is a list of suggested tools and supplies you need to get together before the party:
- A brayer or if you don’t have one Blending Brushes. Daubers will do in a pinch.
- Piercing Mat
- Flower punches or dies. Things you can layer are great!
- A greeting stamp
- Three ink pads that coordinate, but will also blend. One dark color, one medium color and one light color. Make sure your ink pads a inky.
- Three sizes of sticky notes: One large, two medium and three small.
- Ribbon, trim and/or embellishments to add that final touch to your project.
- A Paper Trimmer
- Embossing Folders if you like
- Simply Scored
- Silicone Craft Mat
- Bone Folder
- Multipurpose Glue is a MUST for this project, along with your favorite basic adhesive, Tear & Tape, Dimensionals, etc…
You will need the following sizes of cardstock. PLEASE cut these in advance. There is no DSP this month!
Cardstock
These pieces should match your ink pads. They should coordinate, do not have to be all the same color.
- 8 1/2 x 11
- 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
- Scraps for punching or die cutting
White cardstock:
- 2 pieces 4 x 5 1/4
- Scraps for punching or die cutting
Like I said, this is a LOW prep, low product needed project that you will love!
Contact me with any questions or if you need supplies for this fun virtual event!
I can’t wait to stamp with you!
Stay Safe & Crafty!
