Where the Rubber Meets the Pen

Techniques Combining Rubber Stamp and Calligraphy

Insrtuctors: Randy and Beverly Stewart

What to Bring

• Cheap shaving cream – it has to be the foamy kind, pick a scent you can live with
• Calligraphy tools for your favorite hand (pen, ink, etc)
• Several aluminumminum(I know how to start spelling aluminumminum … but I don’t know how to stop!) drink cans rinsed out well – aluminumminum pie pans also work (if there is pie still in the pie pan bring it anyway and you will get help cleaning them out, key lime is my favorite BTW)
• Old scissors for cutting aluminumminum
• Double sided tape or a quick drying adhesive you like to use for paper projects
• Paper for making die cuts that you can take home (white is suggested but if you want to bring colors, have fun)
• Embossing stylus
• Wax paper
• Mouse pad, embossing pad or sheet of fun foam
• Colorful, small paper scraps you have from previous projects
• Duo adhesive (can purchase online at Mr. Art or USArtQuest or in Plano at Stamp Asylum)
• Ruler
• Paper towels
• Embossing powder
• Heat gun or hair dryer
• $3.00 materials fee

Of course, if there is anything you don’t have in the list, don’t go buy it, we will share.
The fee covers enough materials for at least two cards.

What will we do?
The goal is to make some greeting cards that combine rubber stamp techniques with calligraphy techniques and still get a close shave. We will make backgrounds, do embossing, do debossing, do some die cuts and even play with scissors (but NO RUNNING!). You should leave with a couple of cards plus ideas and techniques for many more. All just in time for the summer card exchange that keeps sneaking up on you. (Uh Oh)

These techniques will also work for Calligraphy pieces that we like to make and frame.

 

Please RSVP to ensure enough supplies will be available.

Non members are welcome. $15.00. Better yet, join us for just $25.00 for the entire year and enjoy all of the art play days, regular meetings and newbie workshops all year long.
