Make your own technique book

[StampingWithAngels]

I know there has been a lot of talk about technique books.
After a lot of thought of what format I wanted to do my technique book in I desided that I wanted to do them trading card format.

I am turning all the techniques I find in to a 2 1/4 x 3 1/4 format.

This way I can either stamp the sample tech on the front of the TC and put the directions on the back and store in baseball card folders

or

I can make a sample TC and a direction TC put them side by side on a 4x6 mat and store in a standard photo album. (I've attached a how to make handout for this style)

I've also attached the first 10 tech I've put in this format. All these tech use versa mark pad.

wow these are great. thanks for sharing.

Holy cow....good for you....would you be interested in selling a completed one??????

[StampingWithAngels]

They take a LOT of work to make. It would cost about 85 cents a page. So to sell a full book the price would be VERY HIGH!! But I do offer the layouts.

I have tried to open the attachments, but only get a funny looking icon in the upper left hand corner. I am usually able to get pdf files, etc. What am I doing wrong?
TIA

How to see the attachment:

If you right click on the attachment & then SAVE TARGET AS ..., you can save the attachment & then you will be able to open it from where you saved it.

Thanks for your time and effort putting this together. I am just starting Stamp Camps and looking for techniques to share with my ladies. This will make a great resouce for them to keep....Thanks again for sharing!!

I realize this is an older thread.
I was thinking the same thing as Shannon, but I'm sure we all understand the time involved. That made me think.... what about a swap?

Except, I've never run a swap & don't have the time right now.
Yep, I guess that's me, come up with a great idea & wait for someone else to do it... sorry... (I'm not always like that)

Just a suggestion, sounds like a good idea for a swap...

[rildann]

I'm doing a class on techniques and can use all the help I can get.
Only trouble is I can't get these files to open.
Can you email them to me please.

Hi Dawnmarie,
This is a terrific Idea! I have been collecting cards that illustrated different techniques. I keep them in a photo album and it is ok for people to browse though, but I love your idea! Now that the site has limited visitation and use, I am not able to download or look at your files. I would love to look at your attached plans and samples. Would it be possible to send them to me at [email protected] ?
Thank you,
Linda Willman
