The final installment of the
Literature collection,
Club Stamp, ships today! We were able to make fourteen beautiful cards with the collection of papers, embellishments, and stamps.
Click on the link below to download the paper trimming and stamping instructions. Then, consult the images below for details about how to assemble the cards.
Literature Club Stamp Instructions
Once the 8.5x11 Lt. Kraft paper is trimmed according to the instructions, each piece will be paired with a stamped image and only four small scraps will remain!
CARDS 1 AND 2
Balance the card panel with the stamped sentiment, matted die cut
Kraft tag, and
Bronze Filigree Charm attached with a thin fiber included right in the kit.
CARDS 3 & 4
Stamp the card base with the large
UM collage image and CS®
Earth ink. Anchor the image with a 1x5.5" Ivory strip (plain side of the Ivory print) wrapped with red ribbon. Stamp the UM card catalog image onto the printed Ivory panel, trim and layer onto the card with the stamped sentiment.
CARDS 5 & 6
Anchor the main card element with the .5x4.25" Ivory Print (plain side) and attach the
Bronze Filigree Charm around the bottom of the card catalog image with jute fiber.
CARDS 7 & 8
Color the stack of books with your favorite art medium and wrap with jute fiber. Tie the fiber ends into a small bow.
CARDS 9 & 10
This is a fun stand-up card configuration. The two outside score lines are folded into valleys while the two inner score lines are mountain folds. The card stands up perfectly on its own.
CARDS 11 & 12
Make a second set of stand-up cards and adhere the sentiment and books to the center mountain fold with part of the image extending beyond one edge of the fold. (Make sure the final size of the card remains 4.25x5.5" when closed prior to adhering the elements.)
CARDS 13 & 14
Distress the outside edges of the stamped Lt. Kraft panels with a paper distressing tool. Make a mask of the "Curiouser and curiouser!" text, cover the area, and shade around the image with
Earth ink. Staple the sentiment to the upper center of the art panel, shape curves into the sentiment, and secure at the center with CS®
Bookbinding Glue.
I love how the
Literature cards came together. We do everything we can to make re-creating the cards as easy as possible. If you enjoy rubber stamping and haven't tried a
Club Stamp kit, this is a great month to give it a whirl!
