Video: Multi-Inking – Teacher Cards

08.11.14

Hello! Today I have an example of “stretching your stamps”… by taking flower images and turning them into apples! I also show how to do easy multi-inking on these simple teacher cards.

[All supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this post. Click HERE to watch the video in HD on YouTube.]

Yes… I am back with more teacher cards! (And YES – I spoil teachers rotten. They deserve it!) I was digging through my stamps looking for the perfect apple when I found this gorgeous set:

I instantly decided I would “stretch my stamps” and turn those adorable layered flowers into apples. They were so very easy to make, so I made several…

I added the apples to a notecard stamped with the works-with-anything stripe background stamp. I also white heat embossed the fun “thanks” message on a Lil Inker diagonal die cut piece. And – of course – added a tiny little heart…

  18. Love that diagonal die! Now I am wishing I had dies that have the stitched edging – it has such a wonderful finishing touch! Now off to look at my stamps and see the different possibilities – maybe that might help with the urge to shop!

  21. I loved the way you took a stamp and made it into something else. I learn so much from your videos and really appreciate your taking the time to instruct us. Thank you Jennifer.

  28. I have this stamp set and never thought to make apples out of the flowers – am now off to try it!! Thanks so much for showing me a new and different way to use a stamp I own!

  29. Jennifer, I love you videos and watch many of them over several times and each time I learn something new. In fact, you are my favorite youtube artist. The problem I have is that when I follow the links for supplies they are always out of stock at Simon Says Stamp. I would prefer to purchase there but have trouble doing that. I have to go to other sites to purchase.

    Could you please encourage them to carry a little more inventory so that so many of us do not have to go to other places to purchase? I am spending my money in relation to your videos. Unfortunately, I am not spending it at SSS.

    Thanks so much for your time.

  31. I had to cut a diagonal on a card and this die would have made my live SO MUCH EASIER. Love what you did here. I have the downloads from last year to work with yet again. Thanks for all you do.

  32. I just read Charlotte Porter’s comments, and I agree – SSS should carry a better inventory, especially if they know you will be featuring their product. I tried to order many times and everything’s been out of stock.

  33. After “Two Peas” shut down I was so depressed-I looked all over the internet for a scrapbooking pick-me-up and found you! I remember reading your articles in “Creating Keepsakes” long ago, often ripping out and saving pages BP (Before Pinterest;) So glad to have found you and your amazing videos. Thanks for all the positive teacher shout outs! I teach first grade and I wish your kids were in my class!!!

  38. Thanks for showing us how to stretch the stamp! The same stamp would also make a great strawberry with the dots on the right for the seeds.

  40. Only a few comments on this CUTE card! Love how you re-purposed the blossoms as apples. All the other simple, graphic aspects of this card are perfect, too (stripes, diagonal sentiment strip). I no longer have kids in school, but I’m sure I can use this idea somehow…
