The Stamper's Scrapbooker's & Papercrafter's Guild

Time themes are really popular and cards made with this in mind are perfect for men as well as for the ladies!

I tied these projects together with a simple colour theme of black, white and metallic.

It’s always fun to try a different fold for a card and this Diamond Fold is no exception.

I have done this one using earthy colours, which seemed to work well with the Tribal Marks stamps I wanted to use. It makes for a great male card.

Play with the colours and the images used and this same fold will look great in florals and pastel shades, perfect for a lady friend. Use some of the fun younger style of stamps and it’s perfect for children.

We noticed on the Forum that a Tag Art swap is being organised, so we thought we’d offer some ideas and a little background to Tag Art.

Basically it is either a bought shipping tag, a die cut tag or hand cut tag that has been decorated ion any manner of ways. We even have tag stamps that can be stamped and then cut out all ready for you to create your masterpiece.

More quick and easy ideas for using the Miss Miyuki plate of stamps.

This first card demonstrates how useful the smaller images are for creating very pretty backgrounds that can then be layered onto your work. Also it shows how to use Brush Marker pens as watercolours.

The January swaps theme was Valentine’s and we had some lovely ATCs and cards sent in to swap.

ATCs first...
