Question of the Day: What are your favorite kinds of stamps? Acrylic? Wood mounted?
Hey there digital scrappers! It’s time for Monday’s Digital Download. I have found a wonderful new goodie for you from Bo Bunny. Each month Bo Bunny puts up a digital calendar page for your own use OR you can download the image without the calendar and use just the page for your scrapbook as is. How awesome is that? Here is a photo of February’s page that you can snag for yourself:

Question of the Day: What does comfort food mean to you?
Question of the Day: Are you a person who has lots and lots of friends, making them whereever you are, or are you someone who has a handful of friends where only a few really know you?
I thought I would share how to do some basic stamping and then maybe get into a few different techniques in future Technique Tidbit Thursday articles.
Basic Stamping
1. Do a test stamp by first tapping your stamp into the ink pad. Remember tap do not grind it in.
2. Press stamp onto paper. Press straight down and do not “rock” your stamp. This will result in a blurry image and can cause the edges to print if you have gotten ink them, ruining an otherwise good image.
3. Lift stamp straight up from the paper. You will now be able to see if you need more ink on your stamp and see if the image has transferred from your stamp to the paper properly before beginning your project.
Beware that stamping can be very addictive! :0) But, truth be told, it is a great technique that easily goes hand in hand with scrapbooking if you so choose.
Enjoy!

For this class, you will need:
square punch
pattern paper
adhesive
button
1. Punch out several squares of pattern paper using your punch. How many you need will depend on the size of your flower. I used a 1″ punch and used 8 squares.
2. Take your first square and fold back 2 of the corners and glue in the back. Repeat with each square. These are your flower “petals”.
3. Attach each “petal” by gluing each one in the center and attach the next petal. Work your way around in a circular pattern.
Finish your flower by attaching a button for the center (I also used a smaller square under my button as well but it’s not necessary).
I am rather proud of this company that is based out of Edmonton, Alberta. It’s not too often you have a great manufacturer so close to home. Their chipboard is unique and of wonderful quality. Check it out in our store here.
