3. Trim the other 8.5x11 White Text Print vertically at 4.25". Cut each 4.25x11 horizontally at 6.75, 5.5 and 4.25". Save the four 4.25" squares for the envelope origami technique shown below.

4. Score one 8.5x11 White Plain, Wine Plain, Aqua Plain and (2) 8.5x11 Black Plains vertically at 4.25". Trim horizontally at 5.5". Fold each 5.5x8.5 in half along the scoreline.

6. Stamp four UM clapboard images and four UM ticket images onto one 8.5x11 White Plain with India Black ink. TIP: Be sure to work on a well-cushioned stamping surface to achieve the best image. Try a test image on scrap paper prior to stamping on the White paper. Allow the ink to dry and trim each image from the paper with a craft knife or scissors.

Fold the four 4.25" White Text Print squares into these adorable mini envelopes by following the steps provided in the video below. The tickets stamped and trimmed from the 8.5x11 White paper will fit perfectly within the envelopes.



With all of your papers trimmed, you're ready to stamp and complete your cards! Let's take a closer look at a few of them . . .

Stamp the "3," "2," "1" images with Ash ink, and the quote with India Black.

Use silver or white pigment ink to stamp onto the Wine panel, or emboss with white powder.

The small square of bubble wrap is attached with ATG tape. Stamp onto the plain side of the Stone panel.

There's plenty of silver metallic ribbon to wrap around the panels twice.

Stamp any greeting(s) within the clapboard image. 

The metal wing charms paired with the origami envelopes make a cute combination!

Pop in a movie and get started on your cards the moment your Club Stamp kit arrives. It'll make your day!
