Wrap Up – Giveaway Winners announced
In Stretch Your Stamps 2, we will be using a wide variety of products to create beautiful cards. But, as the name says, in this class, we’re focusing on stretching your stamps! Throughout class, we will be looking at ten different types, styles, or categories of stamps and the many ways you can put them to good use in your card making.
Below is the list of “featured stamps” for Stretch Your Stamps 2—the specific stamps the instructors will be using. You do not necessarily need these stamps! You can always use stamps you have on hand that fit the style or category. For example, you may have different collage, border, or sentiment stamps on hand that you can use with the techniques we demonstrate in class. (Detailed supply lists for all products used on each project will be provided in class.) We hope that the ideas and techniques for each stamp type inspire you to get more out of similar stamps that you may have on hand. What a great way to stretch your stamps and shop your stash!
In our supply lists, after each product listed, you will find links to three of our favorite online retailers: SSS (Simon Says Stamp), EH (Ellen Hutson), and IE (Inspiration Emporium). We also encourage you to call your local craft stores as many of them carry these great products, too.
