Repeat Stamp Image Tutorial


Repeat Stamp Image Tutorial

I was looking at the Prickley Pear Christmas Tree 2 stamp from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps and thought I can do something with the image other than what it is. I love repeating an image over a card or layout but thought it would be cool to repeat the image in a die cut piece. The results came out real cute and will do this again.

Here is what you will need:
Prickley Pear Christmas Tree Stamp
Ink
2 Scraps of cardstock 
Pencil


Step One:  Pencil a long triangle that looks like a tree then use a exacto knife to remove the middle of it. You want to do two of them like this.


Step Two: Trace the triangle in the inside and put the piece of cardstock over it so you know where to stamp the image over.



Step Three: Hold firmly the piece of cardstock and stamp over the area 



Step Four: Repeat the process till the whole area is covered. Remove the piece of cardstock to reveal the imaged stamped a few times.

Here is my finished Card- inside and outside


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Paper Embellishment Tutorial


I love looking at products and use them for different things other than what they really are used for. The Christmas Tree Die from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps is an example of what I am taking about.

Its easy to make and you are able to use this in many of your projects.

Here us what you will need:
15 Christmas Tree Die pieces in patterned paper or cardstock
2- 2 inch circles in cardstock or patterned paper
Adhesive
Brush tip

Step One: Cut 15 pieces of the Christmas Tree die on patterned paper


Step Two: Use the tip of the brush and rub the paper in circular motion. You want to repeat this step to all 15 of them.



Step Three: Take one of the 2 inch circles and add adhesive to it. Then add the first 4 tress evenly to look like a cross. Then later all around till you are done.


Step Four: Glue down the other 2 inch circle in the middle of the flower.

I added the flower to my layout that I did of our Christmas photo with Santa.


Thanks for looking
