Make three triple easel cards and seven more fun cards with the Adirondacks Club Stamp kit. It's going to be an adventure!
First, make sure you're a Club Stamp member and wait patiently for your kit to arrive. Then, download the instructions by clicking on the link below. Trim and score the twelve papers carefully.
Adirondacks Club Stamp Instructions
SET A
Round the outside upper corners of the pocket card with a Corner Rounder on the 1/2" setting. Stamp the top edge of the inside folio with the mountain range image.
Stamp the upper right corner of a 4x5.25" Ivory panel with a sentiment ("Happy birthday to you." is from the Adirondacks UM Greeting sheet.) Punch a hole in the top, add an eyelet from your stash and add ribbon to the handmade tag. The second pocket could be used for cash or a gift card.
The original Jumbo stamp sheet includes three arrows in a set. Trim one of the arrows from the set and stamp onto the strip. Adhere the bronze arrow charm with CS® Bookbinding Glue.
TIP: When separating UM stamp images, cut them apart at a unique angle or shape, sort of like a puzzle piece. Easily fit the two pieces back together when you want to stamp them in their original grouping.
SET B - TRIPLE EASEL CARDS
Stamp the 2x4.25" Mint panel with the mountain range and trim along the top edge. Soften edges with Earth ink and adhere the panel to the first easel.
Glue the bronze arrow onto the base of the card to act as a stopper for the first easel.
Collapse the panels to flatten the card and insert into a standard A2 envelope.
And, while the above images may be helpful . . . how about a detailed video tutorial?
SET C - QUADRANT CARDS
In step five of the paper trimming instructions, a 3.5x4.75" panel of Mint, Poppy, and Blue is trimmed into four unequal quadrants. Stamp each quadrant with the images of your choice. Stamp the Blue panels with Parchment Pigment ink.
Combine the canoe image and the sentiment on the largest panel and wrap several times with jute fiber.
Adhere the upper left and lower right panels with foam adhesive. Adhere the remaining panels with standard adhesive.
SET D
Use the generous portion of blue grosgrain ribbon to create a horizontal three-part bow for a sweet finish to this simple card. The sentiment was trimmed into two lines and stamped separately.
Tear away the bottom edge of two narrow scraps and adhere to the left edge of a Mint card base stamped with the trail map. Thread a jute fiber onto the bronze arrow and tie ends in a knot. Glue the arrow and jute knot onto the Blue strip.
If you want to make another batch of triple easel cards and "quadrant" cards, you'll need two sheets each of three colors from your stash. Follow the trimming instructions for step five and six included in this month's download, and decorate as you wish!
