| Gather your supplies and let's STAMP! |
 |
 |
Step 01 Get your 8 ½" x 11" white card stock. |
| Step 02 Fold it in half. It should be 8 ½" x 5 ½". Open it back up and flip it over. (You should see a mountain fold.) |
 |
| Step 03 With mountain fold showing and your paper facing you as 11" horizontal, fold right side inward to meet the centerfold line. Do the same for the left side. |
 |
 |
Step 04 Unfold and flip the paper over. You should see mountain - valley - mountain. Stamp a background on the left and right panels using a Distressed Inkpad and a TSS stamp. (From the left inward to the first fold, and from the right inward to the first fold.) (Please keep in mind -- the paper is going to be folded again. If you are using any word stamps, you may want to stamp them in all directions.) |
| Step 05 Results. |
 |
 |
Step 06 Flip paper over. Stamp a background using the Distressed Inks in the center two panels. |
| Step 07 With the paper laying valley - mountain - valley, fold the right and left (8 ½" sides) edges inward ¼". |
 |
 |
Step 08 Fold each corner inward to meet the first fold line. Do not go beyond the fold line with your corner folds. |
| Step 09 Results. |
 |
 |
Step 10 Flip your paper over. Fold the bottom edge up ¼" to ½". Crease your seam. Unfold. |
| Step 11 Flip your paper back over. Fold the two end panels inward. |
 |
 |
Step 12 Flip it back again. Your seam should be at the top (the one you creased and then opened back up in Step 10). Fold the bottom upward to meet the seam. |
| Step 13 Results. |
 |
 |
Step 14 Open enough to fold the top seam back down. |
| Step 15 Fold the bottom back upward. This time, tuck the top corner into the little pockets you made when you folded the creased seam back down. |
 |
 |
Step 16 Viola! Your tag book! |
| Step 17 Fold it closed to see what it looks like. |
 |
 |
Step 18 Now start stamping some TSS image. |
| Step 19 Now the real fun begins. Get your craft sheet, the Distressed Ink pads, your tags, and plug your iron it and set it to the hottest setting/cotton setting. |
 |
 |
Step 20 Take a tag and rub one of the Distressed ink pad across it until you covered it. It doesn't have to be completely covered with ink -- just for the most part. |
| Step 21 Results. |
 |
 |
Step 22 Crinkle up your tag. First poke your finger into the center of the tag to break the fibers and crinkle it up. |
| Step 23 Uncrinkle it and lay it on your craft sheet. |
 |
 |
Step 24 Lightly dab with second color. |
| Step 25 Results. |
 |
 |
Step 26 Spritz with water. |
| Step 27 Iron. Be careful, sometimes the hot iron makes the water spray out. |
 |
 |
Step 28 Results. |
| Step 29 Another Method: This time, dab your ink pad directly onto your craft sheet. |
 |
 |
Step 30 Spritz water onto the ink on your craft sheet. |
| Step 31 Drag your tag through the ink. |
 |
 |
Step 32 Results. Repeat steps 22 - 27 -- Crinkle, press out, ink with second color, spritz with water, and iron. |
| Step 33 Examples - Four Tags Inked and Ready-To-Go. |
 |
 |
Step 34 Examples - Four Tags Stamped. Stamp your tags with your favorite TSS stamps and Black Soot ink. |
