FRIDAY, AUGUST 9TH MEETING

My plan is to do several different tips and tools ideas. People may want to just watch and take notes and then try the things at home. If they want to try things at the meeting, the materials are as follows:

Ghost Stamping: Check out this demo: http://darlenedesign.com/wordpress/?p=5218

Stamps that are solid, like a silhouette
White craft ink
Kraft, black, or some dark colored cardstock (use some of your decent sized scraps to experiment)
Colored ink, choose one that will go with your project

White outlining

Stamp with outline, not solid
Either solid color cardstock or designer paper in single color
White gel pen
Black ink pad

Tape background

Masking or painter's tape
A few different colored ink pads that will look good together
White cardstock or other light color
Your favorite stamps
Black ink pad

Envelope tool

This will just be a demo. 

I'll have samples of each of the techniques made into cards.
