Bring the color and warmth of the fall season to your scrapbook pages. Stamp guru Shelli Gardner uses a few colors of ink and fall-themed stamps to dazzling effect. Materials: 12" x 12" vanilla cardstock
12" x 12" black cardstock
8-1/2" x 11" vanilla cardstock
Muted olive green cardstock
Navy cardstock
Olive ink pad
Navy ink pad
Mustard gold ink pad
Stamping sponge
Blender pen
Fall-themed stamps
Letter stamps
Adhesive
Stamp cleaning pad and stamp cleaner
12" x 12" paper trimmer
Scissors
Black marker or pen (for journaling)
- First, use black cardstock to mask (figure A) right two-thirds of vanilla cardstock (to protect it during the stamping process).
- Then, select a color of ink for each stamp. Stamp one stamp numerous times on the left third of the page to create a decorative sidebar. Vary the sizes of stamps, and use smaller stamps to fill in blank areas between larger stamped designs (figure B).
- Use stamping sponge to apply same color of ink over each stamped design (figure C).
- Remove black cardstock overlay (figure D).
- Sponge olive ink in light spaces between stamped designs to blend the colors together.
- Next, use letter stamps and navy ink to stamp "Fall Photos" on vanilla cardstock.
- Use blender pen (figure E) to apply mustard ink over "Fall Photos". Tip: The lid of the ink pad can be used as a palette (figure F). Lightly trace around each letter to create a soft, muted effect (figure G).
- Mount the completed "Fall Photos" heading to a strip of navy cardstock.
- Add olive cardstock over the right two-thirds of page (next to the stamped sidebar).
- Mount photos to navy cardstock. Add mounted photos and heading to the scrapbook page.
- Finally, for added embellishment, stamp and sponge individual leaves to match those on the sidebar, cut and position around photos on page (figure H).
