I had lots of ideas for this month, but finally settled on sharing this fun hippitty, hoppity Easter card I made for my Cute Cards Quick this month.  I did share it on my Facebook page and had so many ask me to make a video that I thought this was the perfect time and place to share how easy this card is to create AND as a bonus it features Pretty in Pink which is not only my favorite 2024-2026 In Color, but one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! In Colors of all time!

• Pretty in Pink 8 1/2″ x 11″ and scored at 4 1/4″
• Pecan Pie 4″ x 5 1/4″
• Basic Black 4″ x 4″
• Old Olive 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

Here is a list of suggested tools and supplies you need to get together before the party:

• An Embossing Folder

• Simply Scored or a ruler and pencil
• Paper Trimmer or Snips
• Ink pads that coordinate with your cardstock and DSP

Cardstock – these pieces should coordinate, but not be the same color:

• 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
• 7 1/2″ x 5″ (this should be neutral or a light color that coordinates with your DSP)

Designer Series Paper – these should all be the same pattern:

• 3/4″ x 4″

“See” you next week!

Stay Safe & Crafty!

Wednesday, October 22nd 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, September 24th, 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!

Due to Facebook’s new policy of removing Facebook Lives after 30 days, I will no longer go live on Facebook, but will upload the finished video.

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:

• A medium to large stamp set to create a focal point.  Matching dies or punches are a plus!
• Shape dies, something like Stylish Shapes, Textured Notes, Spotlight on Nature, etc…
• A sentiment stamp set if the stamp set you are using doesn’t have one or the one you want to use
• Simply Scored
• Ink pads that coordinate with your cardstock and DSP
• Ribbon, trim and/or embellishments to add that final touch to your project.
• Silicone Craft Mat
• Bone Folder
• Your favorite basic adhesive, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tear & Tape, etc…

You will need the following sizes of cardstock and DSP.  PLEASE cut these in advance:

Cardstock first color:

• 4 1/4″ x 11″
• 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″

Cardstock second color:

• 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
• 2 @ 1 7/8″ x 4 1/8″
• 2 @ 1 5/8″ x 4 1/8″

Basic White or Neutral cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4″

Designer Series Paper – the sets can all be the same or complimentary to each other:

• 2 @ 1 1/2″ x 4″
• 2 @ 1 3/4 “x 4”
• 2 @ 1 1/2″ x 4

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!

That is all I have for tonight, but I hope you will hop on over with me to see what Frances Wagner has created this month.  I now it will be fabulous!

Thank you again!
