One thing I have heard many times throughout the years is, “you stamp on scrapbook pages?” Absolutely! Stamping is a great technique to make your scrapbook page your own and almost no one remembers to do it! This page is perfect for just about any occasion and is a great example of using more than one photo.
SUPPLIES:
STAMPS: Elements of Style (118611 – W) (120045 – C)
INK: Marina Mist (119668), Wild Wasabi (109014), Early Espresso (119670)
CARDSTOCK: 12 x 12 Whisper White Textured & Smooth (119952), 8 ½ x 11 Baja Breeze (111352), 8 1/2” x 11” Basic Black (121045), 8 1/2” x 11” Wild Wasabi (108641)
ACCESSORIES: Scallop Edge Border Punch (119882), Basic Pearls (119247), Stamping Sponges (101610), Paper Snips (103579), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), SNAIL Adhesive (104332), Paper Cutter (104152), if using Clear Mount stamp set: Clear-Mount Block D (118485), Clear-Mount Block E (118484)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ink flourish design using Marina Mist ink and stamp image along corner edges of 12 x 12 Whisper White textured cardstock (re-inking each time for a bright image)
2. Ink sponge and gently sponge all around 12 x 12 page, sponging more in corners where stamped flourishes are.
3. With Paper Cutter, cut out all pieces needed for page: 1 piece – 8 1/2” x 8 1/2” Baja Breeze, 1 piece – 4 1/4” x 8” Basic Black, 2 pcs – 3 1/2” x 3 3/4” Basic Black, 1 piece – 1 ½ x 3 3/4” Wild Wasabi, 1 piece – 3 1/4” x 3 1/2” Whisper White Textured.
4. Ink sentiment with Wild Wasabi ink and stamp in lower right corner of 3 1/4” x 3 1/2” Whisper White textured cardstock.
5. Punch one long edge of Wild Wasabi cardstock with Scallop Edge Border punch and adhere under one piece of 3 1/2” x 3 3/4” Basic Black Cardstock so only scalloped edge shows.
6. Apply the smallest pearls from the Basic Pearls to the scallops on the Wild Wasabi cardstock. (using the tip of the Paper Snips makes this easier to move and place.
7. Apply SNAIL Adhesive to the front of the 3 ¼ x 3 ½ Whisper White cardstock and attach to front of 3 ½ x 3 3/4” Basic Black cardstock that has the Wild Wasabi cardstock adhered to it.
8. Apply SNAIL Adhesive to the backs of all the Basic Black cardstock mat's and layer on 8 ½ x 8 ½ Baja Breeze cardstock.
9. Apply SNAIL Adhesive to the back of the 8 1/2” square Baja Breeze cardstock and centre on stamped 12 x 12 Whisper White textured scrapbook base.
10. Ink the bird image in Early Espresso ink, stamp on smooth Whisper White cardstock, cut out with Paper Snips, add Stampin' Dimensional to the back of it and attach to front of scrapbook page as desired.
11. Attach your photos to the 2 black mat's – 1 photo should be trimmed to 4” x 7 3/4” and one photo should be trimmed to 3 1/4” x 3 1/2”. Add journaling on 3 1/4 x 3 1/2” Whisper White mat.
