Stamp Craft is taking a leap into the online world and will begin online challenges. Yep you heard right online challenges.

Kicking off on the 29 August will be Blind Scrapping. What is Blind Scrapping you ask??

Blind scrapping is giving a list of instructions but without any photos for example. You then create your layout how you interpret and you will be in the running for a fantastic prize.

Blind Scrapping is just the start of many more exciting online challenges to come. So watch this space.

Hi all! This is Jo, just sharing the next class with you! This one is on the 25th of August, three weeks from now on a Monday night. Just for a change, this class is a single layout, where we'll be playing with dye! Mostly, ayway. there's some paint, and some stamping and soem sewing too. So while it's only a single layout, there are about 5 or 6 techniques that we'll be doing! And the best part is that while my layout is blue, you can do yours in almost any colour you like - blue, green, red, yellow or pink! You need to bring with you 3 small photos - mine are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 square. Also, if you have a brown ink pad (Amanda, I used the pinecone brown verscube ;) ) in your general toolkit, bring it along as well.
