Papertrey Ink Stamp-A-Faire

Just going through Nichol's list of SAF projects and getting all my supplies together. I am looking forward to some awesome Design Team tutorials and projects. See you all bright and early in the morning, of course  I don't plan on starting at 7AM EST (that's 4AM in California) so I'll see you all a little later in the morning. Have a super fun day stamping with Papertrey Ink Stamp-A-Faire.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 10: Border Stamps

Borders may seem limiting and something you only use along the border of a card.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 8: Label Stamps

Label stamps are just that–labels! They’re also lumped into the same category as frames and it’s probably one of the easiest categories of stamps we’re exploring in Stretch Your Stamps. While there aren’t many purely label stamp sets, many stamp sets out there include a label as one of the stamps. You probably have a stamp set that has a label already in it.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 9: Outline Stamps

It is very likely that we all own an outline stamp or two – it is one of the most popular types of stamps available. Whether they are elegant or whimsical, thin-lined or heavy, there are many techniques that work with almost all outline stamps thanks to their open space.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 6 (Bonus Day): Stamps with Dies

Today we are showcasing something that is newer to the stamping world… stamps and matching dies. This combination of products makes cutting out stamped images so much easier, and opens for the doors for clever card designs and techniques.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 5: Sentiment Stamps

Sentiments stamps are likely the most common type of stamp – one we all own. Often times greetings are just stamped on a card with black ink. But there is so much more you can do with them!

Stretch Your Stamps Day 4: Graphic Stamps

Graphic stamps can include many styles, but generally they have geometric, clean shapes. They often have lots of filled in areas with no texture or distressing. These images can be basic shapes, flowers or more. Techniques often work well with graphic stamps due to their clean lines and shapes.

Masked Personalized Cards

Stretch Your Stamps 7Day 7: Floral Stamps

 

Now, there are lots of types of floral stamps available. And many fit into some of the other categories we have discussed or will be covering soon – outline, graphic, etc. So remember to look at the other class days for additional ideas for any particular floral stamp you might have.

SA Classic Stamps, PTI Frame It, Memento Markers, ribbon.

Stretch Your Stamps Day 2 Collage Stamps

 Collage stamps are usually identified by overlapping elements or juxtaposed elements. For example, in the collage stamp set we’re focusing on today, the large text stamp has many overlapping elements (large script words, smaller script, etc). It’s also considered a collage stamp because all the different stamps in the set  look awesome overlapping each other!
