Mystery stamping – Heirloom Boutique

Mystery stamping – Heirloom Boutique. Last month I took part in a mystery stamping event and used the Heirloom Boutique Bundle and coordinating papers. Both the Heirloom Boutique and Bloom Boutique 12″x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Paper is on the Last Chance List. I’m sorry to see it go.

The Bloom Boutique 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper are in pastel shades with dainty florals and soft, artistic designs. This paper feels like it was made for a boutique window display. Perfect for card making, memory keeping, and gift packaging and it adds a sweet and timeless touch to every handmade project.

Mystery Stamping

What is mystery stamping? Mystery stamping is an interactive card-making activity where a host gives step-by-step clues of measurements one at a time and participants assemble a unique handmade card using their own craft supplies without knowing what the final design looks like. No Two Alike: Because everyone uses their own choice of colours, stamps, and patterned paper, every finished card turns out completely different.

Double Flap card

This is what I made with the measurements given.

1. Card base : Coloured card stock cut at 5 ½” x 8 ½” (14.8 cm x 21 cm) folded in half
2. Mini card : Same coloured card stock 3 ¼” x 7 ½” – long side scored at 4″ (8.2 cm x 20 cm – long side score at 10.5 cm)
3. Basic White : 1 piece cut at 4″ x 5 ¼” (10.2 cm x 14.5 cm)
4. DSP : 4″ x 5 ¼” (10.2 cm x 14.5 cm)
5. For Embossing – cut Basic White piece 4″ x 4″ (10 x 10 cm)
6. Front mini card : cut Basic White piece 3 ⅛” x 3 ⅞” (7.9 cm x 9.8 cm)
7. Basic White for stamping

Optional

Stamp and punch out a butterfly from All Aflutter bundle. I smudged mine, so I used a butterfly which was left from a different project to cover up the smudge.
