May's Make and Take - Let's Celebrate MOM!

Our next scrappin' meeting is this Friday May 3, 2013 at 6:00 p.m., and with the month of May upon us it is time to celebrate all of the mothers out there.  As you think about how to use the pages we create this month, you can do a layout that includes your mother as the subject or you yourself as a mother.  There is nothing more special that spending time with our little ones and remembering those moments.  We will be creating a double page and a single page layout for this session.  I also have a card for us to complete I just don't have the picture yet.  I will upload it later this week.  Baseball is pushing me on my deadlines, but I wouldn't change those moments for anything. :)

Here is the double layout:

Stamps:  Four Frames, Baroque Motifs

Cardstock:  Old Olive, Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Bravo Burgundy, Tangerine Tango, Paisley Petals DSP

ABC's of Stampin' Up! - Versamark

Versamark  Item #102283   $7.50

You’ll achieve a subtle tone-on-tone effect when you stamp with this watermark ink pad. Any design stamped on our colored card stock will appear a few shades darker than the card stock, giving your project depth and interesting backgrounds. When stamped on text-weight, light-colored papers, the image will look like a watermark; the paper actually becomes slightly transparent.

Features & Benefits
Watermark ink
Makes subtle tone-on-tone designs; appears a few shades darker than the card stock and looks like a watermark on light-colored, text-weight paper
Perfect for resist stamping and heat embossing
Pad: approximately 3-3/4" x 2-1/2"
1/2 oz. ink refill available
Quick Trick For a special effect, stamp with VersaMark ink on a light-colored card stock, then use a Brayer to apply ink over the stamped design. The first design will resist the second application of ink, producing a shadowy look.

FYI Craft ink is thicker than our Classic (dye-based) ink, so you use more each time you stamp; we recommend keeping an ink refill handy so you can re-ink the pads.
Let Craft ink dry or heat set before adding photos or other embellishments.
Clean stamps immediately after stamping.
You’ll get better results on fabric if the pad is well inked. Be sure to hold the inked stamp on the fabric for at least 30 seconds. For best results when stamping on fabric, use a tightly woven or smooth finished fabric and heat set. Line-dry stamped fabrics to avoid fading. Always pretest the ink on a small swatch of fabric, as fabric finishes vary greatly. Be sure to prewash all of your fabrics before stamping.
