March Stamp Camp

 Our last two club projects are looking to be some of my favorites. :) I hope you like them, too!

I have been wanting to try this painted glass look for a while. If only I'd known how easy it is! 
All you need is a glass container, a re-inker in your favorite color, and plain white acrylic paint. Mix your ink into the paint to get the color you desire. A good ratio is about 4 parts of paint to one part ink. You will also probably want to water down the paint so it spreads better inside the glass container. Then, just pour the paint in the container and roll it around until the inside is coated. Let the container sit upside down for a few minutes to let the excess paint run out. To help the paint dry faster, place it in a cool oven, set it to 350 degrees and set a timer for 10 minutes. Then turn the oven off but let the glass container cool completely in the oven so it doesn't crack when you remove it. There are about a million (I kid, but not really) tutorials on Pinterest if you want more ideas or pictures or specific instructions. ;)


The card was a really fun project, too. It even has a place to put a gift card! Dawn has a great video tutorial HERE.

Here's what the card looks like all opened up:

Stamp Camp Sneak Peak #1

You may or may not know by now that this is my last Stamp Camp. I am back at school to get a degree in graphic design (and I am loving it!) and I just can't do both things well. So sad. I know this is right, but I sure will miss my Stamp Camp (and Stamp Club!) nights with my girls! At least I know I'll never have to stop creating things now! 

So, without further ado, let's get on to the good stuff - the sneak peeks!
