Joy Macdonell shares her technique for creating a unique stamped background. Materials: Stamp-a-ma-jig™
Leaf rubber stamps
Brown craft cardstock
Black cardstock
Jute cardstock
Brown, orange and green ink pads
Nine mini copper brads
Copper wire mesh
ABC Tracers™ lettering template in Wacky Upper
Note: While Macdonell uses the Stamp-a-ma-jig for this demonstration, the technique can be adapted to use with rubber stamps you may already have. - Place the Imaging Sheet securely in the corner of the Stamp-a-ma-jig. Align one of the three leaf stamps snugly in the corner and stamp onto a corner of the imaging sheet. Repeat this process by stamping each leaf stamp on a corner of the Imaging Sheet (figure A).
- Position imaging sheet on brown cardstock where you desired a stamped leaf image. Make sure imaging sheet is securely positioned in the corner of the Stamp-a-ma-jig.
- While firmly holding the Stamp-a-ma-jig in place, slowly remove the Imaging Sheet. Align leaf stamp using the Stamp-a-ma-jig corner as a guide and stamp the leaf in place (figure B).
- Continue random stamping of leaves on the brown cardstock until you have created the background pattern you desire (figure C).
- Cut a 2" x 12" piece of copper wire mesh. Attach to brown cardstock using nine mini copper brads.
- Use the ABC Tracers template to cut title letters from jute cardstock.
- Mat each letter on black cardstock, then mat photos on black and jute cardstock.
- Adhere elements to page.
