Wednesday, March 25th at 7:00pm

This event will be virtual only, via Zoom.  Be sure to email me at tracie@stampwithtracie.com by 3:00pm on Wednesday, 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 live on Wednesday night, but want to create this fun project?  No, problem!  Visit the Stamp Pad Facebook page or check my blog for the completed project and link to my YouTube channel Thursday afternoon.

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. 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:

• An Embossing Folder
• Stamp set and dies or punches for decorating your card. Ephemera would work, too!  You may want just a little to add accents.  This project is more about the DSP. =-)

Mom and I both LOVE this week’s Faux Suede cards!  She even said she was looking forward to making more using her extra pieces of Faux Suede cardstock!  Yay!  Mom also came up with a great tip for getting the cardstock to separate using the Take You Pick Tool.  She is SO smart!

This month we are on a mission! Here are the details:

“This month your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to create a project using stamps and a technique to create a unique background.
You can use ANY kind of stamp big or small!
You may NOT use DSP or specialty paper unless you stamp on it.
Embellishments are welcome!”

I love techniques and making unique backgrounds.  I love that they are never exactly them same.  I decided to use an old favorite technique that never disappoints and everyone can do, Faux Silk.  This is such a fun and easy technique and when combine it with the Branching Out stamp set from the September to December Mini Catalog you can’t go wrong!  Here are the basic measurements for my card as well as the Faux Silk Technique directions:

• Timid Tiger 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″scored at 4 1/4″
• Secret Sea 4″ x 5 1/4″, punch the circle for layering the sentiment from the middle of this layer
• Lemon Lolly 3 3/4″ x 5″
• Basic White scrap for the sentiment
• Tissue Paper (this can be recycled) 6″ x 6″

Faux Silk

Supplies:  Tissue paper, Glue stick, Neutral cardstock, Stamps, Ink

1. Stamp images on tissue paper.
2. Color images if necessary. Note:  Color carefully. The ink will bleed through the tissue paper.
3. Crinkle tissue paper. Unfold the tissue paper, but don’t smooth it all the way out.
4. Apply adhesive over the entire piece of neutral cardstock.
5. Spread tissue paper over adhesive.
6. Trim excess tissue paper if needed and glue the edges to the back of the cardstock.
7. Finish your card.

Want to see how easy this technique is in action?  Check out the video I did with my mom a few weeks ago on Stamping With My Mom.  She was a good sport and did a great job as she didn’t know exactly what we were going to do.  This technique is a wonderful way to create backgrounds for any level stamper.

Thank you for letting me share my background technique with you.  I hope I have inspired you to get out some stamps, recycle some tissue paper and create your own one of a kind piece!

Please contact me if you would like to  add any of the supplies I used to your crafting stash or have any questions about this project.  I am here to help!
