RainyDay Stamper

Happy Monday

Wow, February is almost over, didn't it go fast!  I was reading my February's Stampin' Success magazine, a magazine that demonstrators get each month with lots of information and ideas.  They had an article about the stamp set,You're my Type.  Now, you know I love that set and when I saw the card they made with it, I just had to case it.  I changed the colour from Old Olive to Island Indigo and everything else stayed the same.

Isn't it a cool card!  Now the part that intrigued me, was the paper in the typewriter, take a closer look

Yes, there are letters on it, made with the A - Z background stamp but just how is it done? Mask it! I stamped the typewriter onto the Very Vanilla in Early Expresso and then stamped it again onto a post it note.  I cut out the parts that were the paper and then placed the mask over my stamped image.  Ink up the A - Z stamp with Sahara Sand and stamp.  Remove the mask and voila-a page that looks like it was typed.  Once you make your mask, pop it in your stamp case and use it over and over.

Happy Stamping,

You're My Type

This was one on my top picks for a stamp set in the Occasions Mini-why-well that is what I learned to type on.  Remember in high school, typing class, the guys signed up as they thought it was going to be a easy class!  Well, they were wrong, but I really enjoyed it and on these old typewriters, I used to be able to type 65 words a minute.  

Here is a card that I made for my SUDSOL swap

Don't you just love the Pleated Satin Ribbon, well that was my starting point.  I decided to use the Riding Hood Red one and making my card base Riding Hood Red and the papers, are from Timeless Portrait for the background and then First Edition Speciality DSP for the small circle (and I chose the paper that told about typewriters- I wonder if anyone will notice).  When using the Pleated Satin ribbon, my advice would be to use Sticky Strip to attach it to your card, you definitely want to make sure that it stays put and I wrapped it just under the Basic Black strip and attached the strip with Sticky Strip too. The layout for this card came from the Card Sketches on SCS.  Now don't you think this card would be a perfect Valentine card too!

Happy Stamping,
