Keep Things Simple... Only Use Black Ink

When you are just starting to stamp, typically the only color of ink you have is black. But when your collection of ink pads starts to grow it's easy to forget that sometimes the crisp look of black ink is really the best. This layout by Maggie Massey shows how to use simply stamped images and some sassy sentiment stamps to really highlight your travel and recreation photos.

Story Card Sunday: Somewhere Together

Hi all!

It's time for another installment of Story Card Sunday. Today's Story Card is all about love!

You like?! 

Read on to learn how you can make one like it to use in a pocket page or on a traditional scrapbook page or greeting card.

Start by doing some die-cutting. You are going to need to cut one of each of these shapes:

• A base card with the Story Card dies
• A tag with the This Tag dies
• A heart and globe stand with the Here Globe dies
• A word with the Let's Go dies
• A circle with the Circles dies

Now you are going to do some stamping. Turn the base card sideways and stamp "somewhere together" (from the Pack Your Bags stamp set) on the far right side of the card. This Story Card will be a tight fit so it's important you stamp as close to the edge as you can. 

Adhere the tag right next to the words and stamp "Let's go..." (from the On Vacation stamp set) on it.

Adhere the globe base to the card.

Place the circle and globe on top.

Finish the Story Card by adding the heart and a bow tied from twine or embroidery floss, Want to kick your Story Card up a notch? Add a gem or enamel dot to the heart.

I'll be back again next week with another Story Card Sunday tutorial to share with you. Hope to see you then!

Document Your Summer Travels

Hey, Memory Keepers!

Did you hit the road this Summer? Did you travel abroad? Did you spend time at the beach or near the lake?

It's time to scrapbook those memories! And we've got a fun way for you to do it! Create some travel-themed Story Cards like Shelley Goff did!

Shelley created all of these Story Card with the new Postage Card steel dies from Technique Tuesday. These cards would look great in a pocket page album or on a traditional scrapbook page.

Shelley decorated them with clear stamps from the Going Places stamp set, as well as the Going Places steel dies. 

Shelley also stamped a few words with the Pack Your Bags stamp set. 

I think one of my favorite cards from Shelley's stash is this one.

I love that postmark at the top of her card! And adding the mat to the back of the base card is great too! It really helps make her card pop! 

I also dig this one.

It would be a great card to put a little journaling on or add a small picture to. I could even imagine using the Postage Card dies to cut a photo out. Finish it off by adding some handmade elements like Shelley's.

Do you have the Postage Card dies? Have you made anything with them? We'd love to see your creations! Share them with us on our Facebook page and on Twitter and Instagram! Be sure to use the #TechniqueTuesday hashtag.

A Fabulous Layout from Linda

Hello, Technique Tuesday fans!

We've got a fabulous layout from the fantastic Linda Barber to share with you today.

Linda paid tribute to several road trips she took with this travel-themed layout. Look close and you'll see there are four photos from four vastly different places! And get this! Each of the pictures was shot with a cell phone!

As she said, "It's amazing how good phone photos are these days!"

Linda stamped the words on her layout with a phrase from our Geotags by Ali Edwards stamp set.

She created each of the layout's circle elements by heat embossing some of the set's circle stamps with silver embossing powder. And then she used a 1" circle punch to cut them out.

Nicely done, Linda!

PS. There's been a Technique Tuesday spotting on the Create blog! Check out this post from Wendy Sue Anderson to see some super cute cards she used some Technique Tuesday stamps and dies on.
