Thank You: Stampin' Up!'s Custom Monogram Stamp





Stampin' Up! is offering a new custom monogram stamp that you can create to fit what you want for a special occasion. 


While Stampin' Up! shows how it can be used as a personalized address stamp, I decided to make a Thank You stamp.  When you put in your order for this stamp, you can see how the stamp will look before you approve.  One tip.  See the dots on either side of  "first"? You'll want to decide whether you want them or not.  I copied and pasted them to separate the different ways to say thank you at the bottom of the stamp.


Here are some other ideas from Stampin' Up! for ways to design YOUR custom stamp.  You can see where I got my inspiration for my thank you stamp.

I plan to try out the washi tape idea that is shown in the last picture.  It makes a cute and quick card.

Envelope Liners Using Stampin' Up!'s Envelope Punch Board - Free Tutorial



You can line your envelopes with the designer series paper of your choice with this free tutorial using the Stampin' Up! envelope punch board.


First, use the measurements on the bottom of the envelope punch board to make the envelope in the size that you want.  Then measure the distance from the top of the flap to the side of the envelope as shown.  Cut a square that is the size of that measurement.  Use the envelope punch board to punch a notch on opposite corners.  Score on the diagonal to match the envelope.  Adhere the liner to the envelope flap.  Onlu use adhesive above the score line.  Leaving the bottom of the liner free allows the movement you need when you open and close the envelope.

For the sample shown in the photo, I made an A2 envelope starting with a rectangle that was 8 1/8 x 8 1/8.  The measurement from the top of the flap to the side of the envelope was slightly more than 4 inches.  I decided to make the liner out of a 4 inch square.  That allowed me to get 9 squares out of a piece of 12 x 12 designer series paper.

 

p.s.  Here is my video tutorial that I posted on 3/29.  I used an 8 x 8 square of paper for the sample in the video.

Enjoy making your lined envelopes using Stampin' Up!'s envelope punch board.
