    black card with a full moon (use a circle stencil and colorwith glue or embossing ink) embossed with glow in the dark

    powder. The stencil paw prints are terrific as a border.Be sure to stamp some on the envelope too!

    The Bear Rattle is great for making wrapping paper for a baby

    shower gift. Stamp it randomly in pastel colors

    on yellow gift wrap.

    Check out discount stores for inexpensive wrapping paper in solid

    colors and use it as a base for personalized gift wrap. It is much

    more economical than buying special stamping papers.! Try making

    your own gift bags. Iron together inexpensive gift wrap and freezer

    paper. Form the bag by folding the paper around a box. Use a sturdy

    glue to hold the seams in place. Add ribbon or yarn handles.

    The baby quilt makes a great background onto which

    other stamps can be mounted. It is also very nice used

    alone as the front of a baby announcement. But howeve

    you use it, Im sure youll agree that half the fun is

    coloring it! Try coloring alternating squares for a

    checkerboard look, alternate rows and columns for a

    gingham effect, or random squares for a crazy quilt. Try

    adding patterns like tiny hearts, stripes, or dots to some

    of the squares. How about coloring in red, white, and

    blue with little stars for Independence Day? Or red and

    green for Christmas.

    These stamps resulted from my daughters

    fourth grade class trip to Sutters Fort in

    Sacramento, CA. The children wereimmersed in history for several weeks

    prior to their day and night at the fort.

    They became people who lived at the fort

    in the year 1848, learning about the lives

    and travels of their characters. They

    dressed in period clothing and lived like

    the pioneers for a day and night. They

    even got to ride in a real Calistoga wagon!

    It was an experience none of us will ever

    forget.

    For a really fun get well card stamp the map and layer

    onto a card. Over stamp with a road (9829-e) in black ink.

    Gung Hey Fat Choy is the traditional greeting for Chinese New Year. Traditional colors for this holiday are red and gold.

    In its traditional parades filled with dragons and lions, this holiday is known for children carrying lanterns and for the

    setting off of thousands of firecrackers. Small red envelopes with coins inside are often given as a token for good luck.

    The Chinese calandar has a several year cycle with animals as symbols of each year. These animals are the hare, goat or

    sheep, rat, horse, dog, pig, snake, rooster, monkey, dragon, tiger, and ox.

    These rose buds can make a very quick yet1200-d lovely card by using shadow

    stamping inks and techniques. To make a shadow stamp that fits your image perfectly,

    use deckle edged scissors to cut fun foam to the size of your wood mount. Attach the

    foam to the back of the wood mount with double sided tape. Ink the craft foam with

    sage green shadow ink and stamp on your card. Then ink the stem of the rose with the

    sage green and the bud with soft rose. Stamp on the shadow. Add the saying in sage.

    Add a small ribbon rose for embellishment.

    Splongee Tool

    I call this tool a Splongee because that is what my

    daughter named it when she was 4 years old!

    Stamping with a Splongee was a fun thing to do

    with her, and gave me great background paper,too!

    Make a simple tool for creating fabulous

    backgrounds.

    Make a bundle of about 25 rubber bands. Try a

    variety of widths, or stick with just one.

    Different combinations will make a subtledifference in stamping.

    Tightly tie the bundle with another rubber band.

    Trim off the loop ends of the bands with a sharp

    pair of scissors.

    Ink the ends on a stamp pad as you would a

    stamp. Stamp repeatedly onto paper. Re-ink as

    needed.

    Try tone on tone techniques, use a single color,

    or stamp a rainbow..

    Stamp lightly, or repeatedly for heaviercoverage.

    Youll be amazed at the different backgrounds

    you can create!

    Faux Shadow StampsTo make a perfectly sized shadow stamp for any

    of your stamps, cut a piece of white craft foam

    to the size of your mount.

    Trim it just a little smaller than the block using

    either deckle edge or straight scissors.

    Mount onto the back of your stamp using double

    sided tape.

    You can ink and stamp as you would with anystamp,

    Play with the shadow by inking more heavily

    around the edges, or only on the edges.

    You can make the edge more interesting bytaking out some small nicks or by making it a

    bit wavy.

    Craft foam shapes can also be used to createinteresting shadows. Think about shapes you

    can cut with your die cut machine!

    I keep shadow stamps on the backs of some of my

    stamps all the time since I really like to use them

    with shadows. When I store these stamps, I storethem on my shelf rubber side out.

    A Dozen Quick CardsInk the shadow side of your large stamp with the shadow color. Stamp it centered

    horizontally, near the top of the card (the margin on the top should be about the

    same size as the margins on the left and right).

    Ink the rubber side of the large stamp with your main ink color. Stamp in the

    center of the shadow.

    Ink the rubber side of the saying stamp with the main ink color. Stamp centered

    in the white space below the shadow.

    Using stipple or stencil brush or makeup sponge and accent color, add a touch of

    color to stamped main image. Remember, you arent trying to color it in fully,

    just adding a sense of that color.

    Glue bow to lower right corner of the shadow.

    Place a rectangular self-adhesive note on a card at an angle so that it all

    fits on the card, and so the corners are close to the edges, but not

    touching them.

    Stamp repeatedly around the card, stamping both onto the note and off

    the edge. This will form a frame.

    Stipple or sponge a little color over the stamped images, all along the

    edges of the post-it note so that the ink will form a line.

    Take the self-adhesive note off the center of the card, but line it up so

    the bottom edge of the note is at the top edge of the center rectangle. .

    Ink and stamp an image 3 times inside the frame, but make one of the

    images trail off the top edge onto the adhesive note.

    Attach a bow on the lower right corner of the front of the central

    rectangle.

    Stamp a large image in the center of the card.

    Stipple or sponge an accent color onto the image to add interest.

    Place a square self-adhesive note over the stamped image at an angle, covering as

    much of the image as possible, but making sure the note fits entirely on the card.

    Splongee the main color all over the front of the card, making sure to go over the

    edges of the note.

    Splongee with the accent color all over the front of the card, filling in any light areas.

    Glue on the bow centered on the bottom of the square masked area, just below the

    mask.

    Turn the card so the fold is at the top.

    Place a piece of scrap paper across your card at a random angle, making

    sure the paper extends fully across your card and off the edges.

    Stipple or sponge ink in onto the card along the edge of the piece of

    scrap paper, making the color darkest along the paper, but fading out

    away from the paper.

    Change the angle of the paper and repeat the stippling/sponging process.

    Continue changing the angle and stippling/sponging color until there is apleasing pattern of lines and shaded areas.

    Using the scrap paper close to the edges of the card, stipple/sponge a

    border.

    Stamp a large imageslightly off center toward the top left.

    Affix a bow to the lower right part of the card.

    Hold the card so the fold is at the top.
