Scrampology 101: What do I really need?

Posted on 9/15/2009 07:46:00 AM by Amanda
I get asked by folks about what kind of things you need to get started. I especially get asked this at workshops and my answer is always:
  1. A paper cutter
  2. A good pair of scissors
  3. Good quality paper
  4. A pencil
  5. Strong adhesive
  6. A ruler

That's it. You don't need any fancy tools. Most of us have these laying around the house. And if you have gotten overwhelmed by all the great stuff in the catalog, then know this: you don't really need stamps at this point.

That's right. You don't.

With these few items, you can make all kinds of things: beautiful little note cards, little gifts, a wonderful scrapbook page, the list goes on.

I'd like you to consider purchasing a basic all-round stamp set too. In the current 09-10 catalog, my recommendation is Fun and Fast Notes (#113500). This little set will work for almost any situation and it very cute.

To make this card:

Cut all pieces
Pixie Pink: 5-1/2 X 8-1/2 (#105121)
Green Gable: 2-3/8 X 3 (#102795)
Whisper White: 2-3/4 X 2-1/4 (100730)

Fold Pixie Pink in half for card

Using Pixie Pink cartridge (#105203), wheel image over right most part of card using the Stampin' Around Handle (#102971) and Fast Flowers (#109679) wheel.

Stamp image on whisper white and color using blender pens (#102845) and pastels (#105542).

It's stamping and it's scrapping - it's SCRAMPING!!

Posted on 8/27/2009 05:18:00 PM by Amanda
I am a scrapbooker. I've been scrapbooking since 1998 when I inherited all of my grandmother's pictures and photo albums. And I enjoy it. Scrapbooking is our generation's version of the quilting bee and provides a community of crafters that I am proud to know.

About 8 years ago, I found rubber stamps and found them to be a delightful addition to my scrapbooking. I love to make cards and gifts and I love adding stamp work to my scrapbooks.

In the next few days, I'm starting a new feature I'm calling Scramping 101 - I hope you'll enjoy it.
