Stamp Club delivery day at my house is oh so exciting for the animals!  



Eric our cat hops from box to box, pretends he is invisible, and then jumps out at the dog.  Sarah loves to hide her ball in the packing paper and then find it, jump on it, roll on it, shred the paper, oh my! It's at least an hour of fun spent frolicking around..


Then I have to wait until the nap is over from all that exhausting play so I can clean up!

Chalkboard Card Tutorial

Thank you for all the many, many e-mail asking how I made this Chalkboard Easel card.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, this is not my creation, I adapted from by a card shown on Stampin' Connections by a demonstrator named Angie. I have no idea what her measurements were, but I will show you how I made it.
Edited to Add:  I have just been contacted by Angie's upline, Julie. She is a UK demonstrator and I have linked her name to her blog.  Thank you Julie for letting me know.




 Start with a piece of Basic Black cardstock cut 4-1/4" x 11'.  Fold in half.  The first step is to make the legs.  Insert the open end of the cardstock into the paper cutter at the 1/2" mark and cut from the end of the card to the 1-1/2" line.  Turn the cardstock over and repeat for the other leg.



Insert the cardstock into the paper cutter horizontally with the two cuts facing the left.  Line the cardstock up at 1-1/2" and cut from one leg to the other.
The left shows the cut lines with a white pencil outline, the right is what it looks like after you cut.



Frame
  Woodgrain Background stamp, Soft Suede cardstock cut 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and a Soft Suede ink pad. Ink the stamp and stamp the cardstock.



Cut the cardstock into 1/2" strips.  Cut two vertically FIRST, then two horizontally.

Chalkboard Technique

Stamp the image in either Versamark or White Craft Pad.  Sprinkle with White Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.

 Using a white washcloth, pick up a little White Craft Ink and smear it in a circular motion over the embossed image.  Start lightly and increase as you get comfortable.  You want it to be nice and blotchy but not polka dotty.  Keep moving all over the chalkboard.


Easter Chalkboard
Easy Events and Delightful Dozen Stamp Set


 Easter Egg banner was made using the small oval punch.  String them together with White Baker's Twine.


Easy Events Stamp Set and a white colored pencil for the border.  Banner was made with the Petite Curly Label Punch, Cupcake Builder Punch for the candle and Boho Blossoms Punch for the Flower.
