Well, I'm still in the throes of prepping stamp camp projects for our Let's Celebrate stamp camp this Saturday. Our campers are making 16 handmade cards, getting ready for the year. With 16 cards, most of us will have something ready for just about every occasion that arises in 2012!We created our cards in pairs. We give each camper the same supplies to make two different cards (that means 8 sets of 2 for the full day of stamp camp). We want to show our stampers how you can take a layout, change things up a bit, use different stamps…or not, and make a different card, all using the same supplies. Click here to see these supplies to make a different card, another of our stamp camp projects.
This card features the Elements of Style (118611 wood mount, 120045 clear mount) and Happiest Birthday Wishes (hostess) stamp sets and the Swirls Scribbles Big Shot die–a very underused die in my opinion! The soft look is achieved by stamping on Very Vanilla Cardstock and then overlaying the whole piece with Vellum Paper. I love that Stampin' Up! carries both the Vellum Paper–a think paper perfect for letting images underneath it shine through–as well as Vellum Card Stock–a much heavier paper that will stand up to Big Shot dry embossing and more.
