Chalkboard Card – Recent Stamp-A-Stack

Love the popular Chalkboard Technique, so had to include this in my most recent Stamp-A-Stack!  I found this idea on the Stampin' Connection website (for demonstrators) and kudos go to Becky Roberts for sharing the measurements.

Is this cute or what?

Stamp Set:  From My Heart (132007 W, 126557 C, page 99); Woodgrain Background (128763 W 127808 C page 75)

Card Stock:  Basic Black, Soft Suede

Ink:  White Craft (101731, page 165); White Embossing Powder (109132, page 167)

This technique is so effective and SO simple.

To make the "chalkboard", you cut a piece of card stock 4 1/2" x 11".  Then score at the 5 1/2" mark.

Lay this onto your Stampin' Trimmer with the bottom side at the top (hee hee) and cut from on the 1/2" mark down just to the 1 1/2" mark.  Turn it over and do the same on the other side.  Then cut between those two marks – that makes the "legs" of your chalkboard.

Next stamp a piece of 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" Soft Suede with the Woodgrain Background stamp in Soft Soft ink.  Cut two 5 1/2" x 1/2" pieces vertically and then turn and cut two horizontal pieces 3 1/2" x 1/2" – these will make your frame.  Attach these.

Stamp on the black with White Craft ink and heat emboss the white embossing powder.  I added some lines with a white pencil.

Then spong a little white craft ink around to give it the "chalkboard" look.
