This month we are going to make what I think is a Fancy Fold PLUS card! You will definitely need to put extra postage on this one!
This event will be virtual only, via Zoom. Be sure to email me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com by 3:00pm on Wednesday, February 26th, 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 text or email me and I will make sure you get it!
Can’t join us on the 26th, but want to create this fun project? No, problem! Visit the Stamp Pad Facebook page anytime after 7pm on the 26th or check my blog for the completed project and link to my YouTube channel Thursday, February 27th.
Please join me on the Zoom link starting at 6:45pm to chat or ask any questions you may have. We will begin promptly at 7:00pm. If you are joining via Facebook Live we will start by 7:05pm. Please remember to keep chatting to a minimum, unless you have a question about the project. We will have time to chat and ask any non-project questions after we finish.
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 stamp set with coordinating punches or dies.
- A sentiment stamp set if the stamp set you are using doesn’t have one or the one you want to use.
- Ink pads that coordinate with your cardstock and DSP.
- Ribbon, trim and/or embellishments to add that final touch to your project.
- A Paper Trimmer or Simply Scored (A Paper Trimmer is a MUST for this project!)
- Embossing Folders if you like
- Silicone Craft Mat
- Bone Folder
- Your favorite basic adhesive, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tear & Tape, etc…
You will need the following sizes of cardstock. PLEASE cut these in advance.
Card Stock
One each of the same color:
- 4 1/4″ x 11″
- 6 1/2″ x 3 1/4″
A coordinating cardstock:
- 4″ x 5 1/2″
- 3″ x 3″
A neutral piece of cardstock, Basic White, Very Vanilla etc… 3″ x 3″
Scraps of your coordinating colors and neutral for creating a focal point, punching or die cutting.
DSP — these should coordinate, but do not need to be the same.
- 4″ x 5 1/4″
- 3 3/4″ x 5″
- 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to stamping with you on Wednesday!
Stay Safe & Crafty!
