Friday, November 23 Meeting

Hi Stampers,

At our next meeting we will make luminaries - little boxes with
vellum-covered openings and a tea light inside. Please bring sheets of 12 x12 paper, either patterned or cardstock and embellishments such as ribbon or punch outs.

I will bring a die to cut out the box, punches for the opening, and tea lights. I'll also have some extra embellishments.

I wish you a happy Thanksgiving and hope to see you Friday.

Carolyn

 Here’s what you will need:

Optional:

Heat gun to dry craft ink more quickly

If you want to make a finished card you might also need:

Cardstock that will coordinate with your colored pencils

Coordinating designer paper, ribbon, and other embellishments

Tape runner

 Here are some web sites. If you Google “black magic stamping technique,” you’ll find tutorials and even videos. Come with lots of ideas.  We’ll surely get lots of tips from each other.
