Reflections and Stamp-a-majig

At the Newbury Field Training in March, we used this

technique using the Stamp-a-majig to mirror an image.

Unfortunately, I lost the card we did and had to replicate

this from memory.

You will need 

1 sheet of A4 Close to Cocoa cut in half lengthways.

1  x 9.5 cm x 12 cm Choc Chip Textured cardstock

1 x 7 cm x 12 cm More Mustard scalloped along one

edge.

1 x 6 cm x 12 cm Old Olive cardstock

1 x 5.5 cm x 12 cm Whisper White cardstock

Scrap piece of WW cardstock

Versamark

Choc Chip Classic Ink Pad

Stampin’ Write Old Olive

Watercolor Wonder Crayons Bordering Blue

Blender pen

A length of 1.3cm So Saffron Striped Grosgrain

1 1/4 ” circle punch

Scallop Edge punch

Designer button (optional extra)

Occasional Greetings – Happy Birthday

White Embossing Powder

 Forest Friends – “Bambi”

Mini Glue Dots

Heat Tool

Start by tying a bow a third of the way down

the Textured Choc Chip cardstock.  

Next punch out scalloped edge on More Mustard.  

With scalloped edge on the left hand side, punch 

out semi-circle approximately 1 cm from bottom 

right of More Mustard card.  Set aside.

Centre and stamp Bambi in Choc Chip on  the

upper half of WW cardstock.  Randomly tear 

WW scrap cardstock and use as template to mask 

grass line at Bambi’s  feet.  Use Old Olive 

Marker to draw grass.  Ink Bambi in Choc Chip 

and stamp on smooth side of Stamp-a-majig.

Turn stamped image of Bambi upside down and

position stamped image of Bambi on Stamp-a-majig

to mirror his image.  Rub Stamp-a-majig to transfer

inked image onto WW cardstock.  This will be

a fainter image and resembles a reflection in the

water. Use Bordering Blue watercolor crayon to

“draw” ripples in the water and use blender pen

to soften edges.   Repeat process for upper half

of card to resemble the sky.

Align scalloped edge More Mustard with punched

out semi-circle to Old Olive and WW and punch

out semi-circles.  Adhere MM, OO and WW together,

adhere to textured Choc Chip and use mini glue

dot to secure button if wish to complete card as

llustrated in photo.  Adhere all layers to Close to

Cocoa cardstock leaving approximately 1/4″ border

on the two sides and top of card.

Stamp sentiment “happy birthday” on bottom of 

Close to Cocoa with Versamark.  Sprinkle with white 

embossing powder.  Finally, use heat tool to emboss 

greeting.
