Make a dozen
Trattoria cards and two adorable card folios with this month's
Club Stamp kit!
Trattoria Cards and Folios
To get started on this fun batch of cards, download the instructions via the link below and carefully score/trim the twelve sheets of paper included in your kit.
Trattoria Club Stamp Instructions
Next, sort all of the trimmed pieces, stamp, and assemble according to the images below.
Trattoria Cards
Cards 1-3
Stamp the pizza image onto the Ivory Texture paper with
India Black ink and color the image with watercolor pencils or markers. For stamping, choose the smoothest side of the textured paper.
Wrap red
satin ribbon around the green quad print and tape the ends onto the back. Tie a bow onto the
button with
waxed linen thread (from your stash) and adhere the button to the card with CS®
Bookbinding Glue.
Cards 4 and 5
Stamp the cheese wedge four times onto the 1x8.5 Ivory Texture strip and fussy cut with scissors. Adhere the stamped sentiment and cheese wedge to the card panel with
foam adhesive circles.
Cards 6 and 7
Stamp the large collage image onto the Orange card base with black ink. Mask the stamped areas and sponge Earth ink around the mask to add depth to the background.
Make a loop with the
chevron ribbon and tape to the back of the stamped sentiment. Add a copper jewel dazzle (stash) to each corner of the panel and layer onto the card with
foam adhesive circles.
Cards 8 and 9
Stamp the chef hat onto the 2x2.25" Ivory panels and fussy cut with scissors. Stamp the "saluti" sentiment onto the plain side of the
kraft tag and add ribbon.
Card 10
Stamp the sentiments and pizza onto the Red card base with
White Pigment ink. I love how our white ink contrasts with the red paper. Heat set to prevent smearing, or set the card aside to dry completely.
Cards 11 and 12
Nest a quad print onto the largest scored area of the Brown card base. Fold along the score lines to create a box shape and adhere the 1/2" flap to the card. Fold and adhere the 1/2" tab and bottom edge of the Red mechanism to the card as shown.
Before adhering, ensure the card will properly lay flat for mailing.
Card Folios
After following the scoring and cutting instructions, form the prepared paper into the folio shape. Fold up the pockets, tuck in the tabs on each side, and adhere the tabs with bookbinding glue.
Wrap the 1x11" Red band around the folio and make creases to create a rectangular shape. Stamp the sentiment and add the
button. Secure the shape with adhesive and slide onto the folio.
Load the folio with
Trattoria cards and keep on hand for the perfect hostess gift! If you don't have a
Club Stamp kit on its way to you today, we'd be happy to fix that . . .
