June Stamp Club Projects

Ok, here are the projects we made this month at Club. Elli requested that we do the Crystal Light containers, so here we go! Sorry for the not so great photos.


Supplies: 1 Crystal Light container, wrapper peeled off
Patterned paper- Berry Bliss used here
Coordinating cardstock
Ribbon
Tombow Mono Multi glue
Scallop circle, 5-Petal Flower, Boho Blossom punches (all optional)
  1. Cut patterned paper to 8 3/4"x 6 1/4" or to make more efficient use of the paper, 2 pieces of 3"x 8 3/4"
  2. Apply glue sparingly to the back of the paper, and wrap around can. If using 2 pieces, align with top and bottom of can, the gap will be covered by the ribbon. Make sure your seams are in the same place.
  3. Cut a piece of at least 1/2" ribbon to about 8 3/4".
  4. Run a line of glue around can where you want the ribbon, then smear the glue to prevent the glue from bleeding through the ribbon.
  5. Wrap the ribbon around the can over the line of glue, lining end of ribbon up with the seam.
  6. Cut a 2 1/4" circle of patterned paper for lid, then punch shapes in coordinating cardstock
  7. Glue to lid. You can also punch a hole in the center of the lid and attach all with a brad.

Here is an example of how you can decorate the lid. I used a Rhinestone brad here.


Here is a cute Strawberry page. The pictures here are from a few years ago at my MIL's house. The kids had a tea party with Kaylee by her Strawberry Shortcake tent, it was sooo sweet!

Stamps: Tart & Tangy, Every Day Flexible Phrases

Paper: Pixie Pink, Gable Green, Whisper White

Ink: Pixie Pink, Whisper White, Real Red and Garden Green markers

Accessories: Pretty in Pink ribbon, corner rounder punch, scallop circle punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, 1 3/8" and 1 1/4" circle punches, Boho Blossoms punch, Clear button, Cherish rub-ons

  1. Start by using the stamp off technique with strawberry stamp from Tart & Tangy set and Pixie pink with a random pattern. Stamp off technique is as follows: Ink up stamp with desired ink, stamp image once on scrap paper, then on the project. This results in a lighter shade of the ink.
  2. Then take the guard off of your corner rounder punch and with a 1"x12" strip of Gable Green and create scallops on both long edges.
  3. Cut this strip into two ~1/2"x12" strips.
  4. Glue Green strips ~ 1" from top and bottom of page.
  5. Glue ribbon slightly overlapping the green strips as pictured.
  6. Select a rub-on and apply to button.
  7. Punch out two large flowers from Boho Blossoms punch and a 1 3/8" circle in Pixie Pink. Punch out two 5-Petal Flowers and a scallop circle from Gable Green.
  8. Use Real Red and Garden Green markers to apply ink to strawberry stamp and stamp onto Whisper White paper, then punch out with 1 1/4" circle punch.

  9. Ink up desired word stamps from Every Day Flexible Phrases set with Whisper White craft ink and stamp in center on Pixie Pink flowers.
  10. Glue embellishment pieces together, attach pictures to page, then place embellishments where desired. I used a dimensional to pop the layered strawberry up.

Stamps: All in a Row, Carte Postale

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Soft Sky, Cameo Coral, Certainly Celery

I will give details on the stamping, but refer to the tutorial for construction on the card.

  2. You will be using the Flower Branch stamp from Carte Postale to stamp in alternating Soft Sky and Cameo Coral 3 across in each row, do one color now to determine spacing of rows. Start with 1 of these colors until all rows are stamped, then go back and use the other color so you don't have to keep cleaning the stamp.

  3. repeat steps #1 and #2 two more times.

  4. Use paper piercer and mat pack to make a row of stitches between each line of the Much Love stamp, then use the white gel pen to draw the stitches.

  6. Stamp Flower Branch stamp in Certainly Celery and Cameo Coral around edges of WW paper.

  7. Stamp Mon Amie (means My Love in French) in Chocolate Chip on bottom of WW piece.
