vacation with friends Click image to enlarge Julie Overby, fiskateer #725, cannot imagine crafting without her stamp press. At first she loved it because it was a great size and could be used with larger stamps, but after using it over and over again, it’s become one of her favorite tools because of the accurateness that the image leaves after being stamped.

Instructions (Print version) 1) Choose the stamp you want to use to decorate the Cloud 9 8x3.25 board book case and book. Line up a boarder stamp on the Stamp Press and use white ink to stamp all around the top and bottom edges of the black case. Using your trimmer, cut the desired pattern paper to cover all sides of the case and add ribbon and flower to the front.
2) Using the Round of Applause stamp set and white cardstock, stamp a title block using black ink and cut it out. Tape it to the front to add the title of your project.
3) Take the Stamp Press and the same border stamp that you used on the case to create the same image around the front end of the board book. This gives it a coordinating look. Layer pattern paper on the front page of the album that matches your case.
4) Cut a ¾ inch piece of pattern paper and cut slots in it using the ribbon slot boarder punch and adhere it to the front.
5) Taking the Round of Applause stamp set, create another title block for the front of your book.
6) Add your photos and embellish the rest of your book using stamps, punches and flowers! |
