ScrapSmarter February 2020 Creative Cutouts and Stamps

Class: Creative Cutouts with Stamps

Instructor: Sam Adams from This Messy Desk 

February 20, 2020 Sam Adams from This Messy Desk taught us how to have a lot of fun mixing die cuts and stamping. 

Tips:

• Try different colour schemes to work with your photos, multicoloured or monochromatic.
• Use your larger stamps first.
• Stamp with words or images.
• Use smaller stamps to fill the gaps.
• Don’t worry about imperfections, that’s part of stamping.
• Use foam to pop up the top layer of the page.
• Add extra details around the shapes such as sewing, hand stitching, hand drawn stitching.

Bonus Ideas:

• Cover some of the cutout areas with vellum.
• Turn some cut out areas into shakers.
• Fill the background with other materials such as sequins or photos.
