Our Daily Bread Designs and sentiment stamp storage

I was fortunate to be able to visit the Our Daily Bread Designs  booth at the Heirloom Stamp Show in Springfield MA  two weekends ago, talk about inspiring!!  I think they have the most beautiful sample cards made for their products, always so Amazing!!  While I was there one of the other customers asked me I f I had many of the ODB sets.  I said yes I have all the scripture sets and series, I think I have most of the quote sets  many of the set with pictures.  The gal I was talking to was fairly new to the world of rubber stamping and asked me if I had a good storage solution to keeping these beautiful stamps together and in some kind of easy to use system.

 I promised I would do a short post on my storage for these verse sets and individual  stamps.

Here you go Kathy G, a picture is worth a thousand words!

I laminate 8.5x11 extra heavy cardstock and then cut in half.  This gives me a great "board" to store my unmounted sets.





I stick the label from the packet on one side - or in the case of my older stamps, I went to the website to print an index.





Nice and neat and with these vinyl  job ticket envelopes.

Then  I don't have to worry when something like this happens - stamps flying and not put back into the correct sets.  Great way to loose stamps!



Of course this happened earlier today




Back together in a flash, all my ODB stamps in one location, with indexes!


For my Non ODB single sentiments, I store them in a ring binder in sport card pocket protector sheets.


I can be trickery enough creating, I don't want to add and more stress trying to find something!

Here is a graduation card I made from ODB set  "God Verses"




Thanks for stopping by and I hope you may have found this helpful!

How to Make Sweet Little Paper Dress Cards!

Image
I recently watched a You Tube video on how to make an origami Paper dress, I thought these would make the sweetest card for all occasions!  So I had a great time crafting with friends and making these adorable dress card! These three are my favorites: I used an old Stampin' Up background stamp for the background on most of these. I left the sentiment off, for now, that way I can turn these into whatever I need them to be when I get ready to send it! I used the Best Glue Ever to hold the layers and the dresses- worked great!  This adhesive allows the folded paper to keep its spring by not soaking into the fibers - no wet spots showing through or dents. Just a tiny drop and bead hold it down perfectly Add glue and then put a book on it to flatten it a bit For the delicate die cut sentiment and embellishments, I also used the BGE If you are interested in learning how to make these, here is the video I used, th

Tutorial: Making Napkin Cards

Image
Here is a fun tried and true old fashioned card making technique. Long before we had all these sumptuous patterned papers we had gorgeous napkins! For depth of color and interesting texture, you can't beat them especially for the money! Most you you may have done these so this will be an ‘Oh Yeah’ moment! Have fun! You can start with any size paper napkin - I like to pick min up at Tuesday Morning, they have a wonderful selection and are usually marked down Separate the printed surface from the tissue backing - these napkins are usually 3 layers I cut my panels to fit a light weight piece of cardstock I drizzled glue on the card stock and then added my napkin panel I found it was easier to keep the light and floaty napkin on the table and then place the gluey paper on it Gently smoothed it a little bit - remember the napkin layer is very fragile I gave it a few minutes to set up and the just added a puddle of Lineco glue.

How To Restore A Vintage Rubber Stamp

Image
I have a lovely Vintage  Magenta Cat Stamp, I'm not sure of the exact year of release, but I'm pretty sure it is about 20 years old, It appears to be in perfect condition.   But on inspection, I can feel that the rubber has gotten a little dry and "tough" and what that means is that I won't get a good impression from it.  I bet you have run into the same thing with some of your older stamps!  Don't toss the stamp, there is a way to restore them pretty easily! I have on hand the little sanding blocks you can buy for about $2.00 at the hardware store.  The are very handy in the craft room!  I gave this stamp a vigorous rubbing and then wiped off the dust with a damp wipe Next a coat of glycerin - a $4.00 drugstore item - you can also re-ink your embossing/resist pad with this! Let it sit over night and then wipe with a damp towel.  Your stamp should have that nice soft rubber texture.  Now the ink will sit on the rubber!  I inked up
