Sorry I am late to the Fest. I hope you still have time to try this challenge.
I want you to think about creating in multiples ... how to stamp something attractive, yet keep it simple enough to mass produce?
For this challenge I'd like you to make 10 or more of one design ... small variations are ok (for instance, I ran out of washi tape, so I subbed a ric rac stamp in the same color). You can make anything except for cards. I'm thinking tags, stickers, address labels, place cards, gift card holders ... Your project must include stamping, preferably at least one image stamp.
Please post a photo of your collection in the gallery. Tag it with
INK18 Multiples in the title and key word. Share your experience here with a link to your gallery post.
Jan's card discussion thread influenced this challenge as well as the video in Connie's challenge (I added a cut up Cricut mat to my hinged stamp positioner and it really helped with this process)! Thank you Jan and Connie!
I used tips from
this video by Maymay Made It to get started. In fact, my tags are the same dimensions as hers.
I'm sorry I'm asking you to make 10 of something, but that's part of the challenge!
. Keep it fairly simple and start mass producing! It's that time of year! I hope you'll try it.
My sample :I really need to get going on Christmas cards, but I already have a monthly challenge for that. I also like to make gift tags, and I thought they would be quicker for this short week challenge. I bought gift wrap from a neighbor kid selling for school so I made tags to match. Don't feel you need to match your gift wrap! I made 16 tags from one 8 1/2 by 11 piece of cardstock using Maymay's instructions.
Here's a close up of the tags with the gift wrap.
I used a WeR Memory Makers Large Angle Crop-a-Dile punch for the corners. I didn't punch holes in my tags because I often adhere them to packages with double stick tape. I can punch a hole and add twine when I'm wrapping if I need to.
I stamped all of the "to from", then all of the peppermints, then all of the ric racs since each used a different color of ink. The post it notes on the side of my tag were to keep me from stamping ric rac on my Cricut mat but it was also pretty handy for placing my tags just right. I also used the grid lines on the mat. When the stamping was finished, I applied washi tape. Next I added a border with a ruler and a Tombow marker. Last I adhered dot sparklers to the center of the peppermints ... a little more time consuming because my stickers are old and not so sticky anymore, so I glued them. Still, not too hard with a Marvy Jewel Picker and an exacto. Since they were so tiny, I put a glob of glue on a scrap and barely dipped them in it.
Happy Stamping!
