Make the stamp. Use the Home Stamp Making Kit from JustRite
Stampers to create a custom stamp for the invitation. Follow the
manufacturer directions included in the kit. There is also a Tutorial DVD
included in the kit to help you create stamps. If you don’t have a Home
Stamp Making Kit yet, you can use the Upper Case Stamper18 from
JustRite Stampers to customize your invitation. Tricia made a stamp that
says: “EAT SOUP It’s good for you.”

Use a square punch to punch a hole that is centered and ” from the top
of the Door Hanger. The punch that Tricia used makes a 1 ”
square opening in the door hanger.
So you’ll be able to “hang” this door hanger, make a
slight diagonal slit with scissors from one edge to the
square opening of the door hanger. Set this piece
aside.

Cut a piece of brown print cardstock to 3 ” x 6 ”. Ink the edges with
a brown ink pad.
Cut a 4 ” length of ” wide sparkly brown ribbon and wrap around the
brown cardstock about 1 ” from the bottom. Secure the edges of the
ribbon to the back of the cardstock with tape. Set this piece aside.
Computer generate the details for the invitation and print out on tan
paper or lightweight cardstock. Cut to 3” x 3 ”. Distress with a brown
ink pad. Set this piece aside.

Stamp the image made in Step 1 with the Home Stamp Making Kit from
JustRite Stampers on the same tan paper or lightweight cardstock used
in step 4. You can also use a stamp that coordinates with your event.
Cut to 1 ” x 1 ”. Ink the edges with a brown ink pad. Crumple up this
piece and then smooth out to add texture.
Assemble the Door Hanger. Staple the crumpled, stamped image from
Step 5 onto the brown print cardstock from step 3 at an angle about ”
from the top and ” from the left side. Adhere the computer generated
invite details to the brown print cardstock about ” from the bottom and
centered.

Adhere the brown print cardstock to the green print door
hanger made in Step 2. You’re ready to visit the
neighbors and hang the invitation on their door.
You can set this project up “assembly lline” style and
make many invitations in a short amount of time.
All of the papers, cardstock, and embellishments used in making these
projects are from Club Scrap. You can visit them at clubscrap.com. The
sample invitations were made using the Farmer’s Market collection.

Soupy Memories
Once the soup party is over, there has to be a page to commemorate the
event of course! This page uses the same cardstock as the door hanger
invitations and naturally it features the “eat soup” image.
Boys will Be Boys
These masculine cards feature images included in the Home
Stamp Making Kit—it comes with over 700 images ready to create
stamps. The motorcycle and the car images came preprinted on
stamp making film in the kit and were turned into stamps using the
same process as the “eat soup” image. What boy—old or young—
wouldn’t love to get one of these cards?
Photo Stamps
Have a favorite photo you’d like to replicate multiple times? Turn it into
a stamp! This Artist Trading Card features a stamped image of Tricia’s
daughter. Notice how the image resembles a negative. How cool is
that?!
