Self-Paced

There is nothing quite like a “Do Not Enter” sign to make us want to go inside! And when it’s a creepy old house, maybe with overgrown bushes, and “CAUTION” “KEEP OUT” signs posted… and it’s Halloween season, sometimes the temptation is just too great (at least in the movies]! This book is designed to be just that… an OLD doorway with a big warning: DO NOT ENTER! We can’t resist peeking inside!  There you will find hidden chambers, a ghostly transom, boarded-up windows, and lots of useful tricks and treats for stashing all the Halloween stories inside. We will be putting all the goodies from the HALLOWS22 bundle to work to build the book and adding sequenced stamping throughout. Whether you keep your door SPOOKY and uninviting, or more welcoming to the neighboring spooks, you are going to LOVE learning clever ways to add pages, windows, open-ables, and photos inside!

Won’t you join me as I spin a web of haunting creations that will leave you shocked, surprised, and absolutely transfixed by what lies ahead in session 2 of STAMP THERAPY: Hallows22

Stamping requires ongoing PRACTICE! With the SPOOKY SEASON already upon us, tis the perfect time for a very spooktacular version of STAMP THERAPY! This is “session 2: HALLOWS22” and will be focusing specifically on the new HALLOWS22 6x8 stamp set. Building on the concepts learned in Session 1 of Stamp Therapy, this session is comprised of 4 lessons dedicated to creating creepy, scary, mysterious, and haunting elements perfect for Halloween and fall vibes. 

The lessons focus on specific elements of the stamp set and then explore techniques such as color mixing, layering, building, stacking, creating clusters, and collaging. The practice will lead you to create completed Halloween tags incorporating stamping techniques and elements from the Hallows22 paper collection. 

Note: I do recommend that you have the BASIC knowledge and information about inks, inking your stamps, cleaning stamps, pressure, positioning, echo stamping, layering, etc. that are included in STAMP THERAPY session 1, as I will be building on that information in this class.  ALSO: The concepts I share in this class can apply to ANY stamp set, so even if you don’t have the specific sets I am using to illustrate the examples, you can draw from your personal collection and achieve the same effect!

With the exception of Black Archival Ink, I use only Distress Oxide Ink in these lessons. I love the bold colors and the ability to stack, mix and combine the colors. In the lesson I will tell you the color I am using, you don’t have to use the exact same colors. USE what you have access to! Use lighter colors when I use lighter colors, and darker colors when I use darker colors.
