==1. Define the following terms:== 

===a. Carbohydrates=== 


A carbohydrate is a molecule that is present in living organisms consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.

===b. Lipid=== 


Lipids are a group of molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids. Lipids store energy, used in binding protein targets, and structural components of the cell membrane.

===c. Fatty acid=== 


Fatty Acids are carboxylic acids with a long hydrocarbon chain. They can be saturated or unsaturated.

===d. Protein=== 
Proteins consist of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. They are large biomolecules. Proteins have a lot of functions in organisms such as DNA replication, catalyzing metabolic reactions, responding to stimuli, and transporting molecules from one to another.

===e. Peptide=== 


A peptide is a compound consisting of two or more amino acids that are linked in a chain. They are short chains of amino acids.

===f. Enzyme=== 


Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts. They accelerate the chemical reactions.

===g. Amino acid=== 


Amino Acids are used by cells in the body to build proteins.

===h. Nucleic acid=== 
Nucleic acids can be DNA, RNA, mRNA, and TRNA. They help replicate cells, and build proteins.

===i. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic=== 

===j. Triglyceride=== 


A triglyceride is an ester which is a formation of carboxylic acid and alcohol. Triglycerides are the main body fat in mammals and vegetable fat.

===k. Monosaccharide=== 

==2. What is the importance of water in organisms? What are the main physical and chemical characteristics of the water molecule?== 

==3. What does metabolism mean?== 

==4. Biochemically, why do we feel hungry?== 

==5. Explain how the glucose pathway occurs.== 
It is a metabolic pathway that results in the generation of glucose from certain non-carbohydrate carbon substrates; eg protein breakdown products (certain amino acids), glycerol from breakdown of triglycerides (lipids) and from other steps in metabolism including pyruvate and lactate.

==6. Which human cells depend only on this pathway for energy?== 
brain cells

==7. Which molecule links the glucose pathway and the Krebs Cycle?== 
Oxaloacetate is an intermediate in both these biochemical pathways, in the production of glucose from pyruvate and the Krebs Cycle . it is also involved in the urea cycle, the glyoxylate cycle, amino acid synthesis, and fatty acid synthesis.

==8. What is the importance of the Krebs Cycle?== 
The citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs Cycle after its discoverer '''Hans Adolf Krebs''') is a crucial metabolic pathway that takes the breakdown products from the food we eat (proteins, fats and sugars) and produces three NADH, one FADH2, and one GTP molecule. the NADH and FADH2 are fed into the oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport) pathway producing ATP the body's main energy storage molecule. NADH and FADH generate 2.5 and 1.5 ATP molecules respectively in oxidative phosphorylation. GTP can also be used to form an extra ATP.

Citric acid cycle intermediates also also starting products for many important biosynthetic processes.
Fatty acid synthesis and the production of cholesterol, which in turn, is used to synthesise the steroid hormones, bile salts, and vitamin D.
Non-essential amino acids proline, glutamine and arginine the last two are converted to form the purines that are used as the bases in DNA and RNA, as well as in ATP, AMP, GTP, NAD, FAD and CoA.
Aspartate from oxaloacetate can be converted unto the pyrimidines- thymine, cytosine and uracil, the complementary bases to the purine bases in DNA and RNA, and are also components of CTP, UMP, UDP and UTP.
Porphyrins from succinyl-CoA are important components of the hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and various cytochromes.

==9. What is the function of lipids?== 

==10. Why are lipids insoluble in water?== 

==11. Why are lipids, and not glucose, used for energy storage?== 
The total energy gained from one (six-carbon) molecule of glucose in the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation equals about 30 ATP molecules. The number of ATP molecules derived from the same number of carbon atoms in a fatty acid chain is 40. So lipids are more efficient for energy storage.

==12. What is beta oxidation? Why does this pathway receive this name?== 

==13. What are essential and non-essential amino acids?== 


Essential Amino Acids


There are amino acids that cannot be made by the human body. They only come from food. There are 9 types of Essential Amino Acids. They are isoleucine, leucine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, tryptophan


Non-Essential Amino Acids


Our bodies make these amino acids. There are 4 types: asparagine, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid.

==14. What are ketone bodies, where are they produced, and what are the consequences of excess production?== 

==15. What compounds are formed by the binding of amino acids? What are the main functions of these compounds?== 


Amino Acids forms proteins. They are organic compounds when combined that help build cells. When proteins from the Amino Acids break down they leave Amino Acids. The body uses the amino acids to break down food, grow, repair cells and skin cells. They can be stored and used for energy.

==16. What is the importance of nucleic acids? What is its structure like and what are its components?== 

==17. Draw a DNA molecule, with four nucleotides, naming its components.==

==6. Which human cells depend only on this pathway for energy?== 
brain cells

==7. Which molecule links the glucose pathway and the Krebs Cycle?== 
Oxaloacetate is an intermediate in both these biochemical pathways, in the production of glucose from pyruvate and the Krebs Cycle . it is also involved in the urea cycle, the glyoxylate cycle, amino acid synthesis, and fatty acid synthesis.

==8. What is the importance of the Krebs Cycle?== 
The citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs Cycle after its discoverer '''Hans Adolf Krebs''') is a crucial metabolic pathway that takes the breakdown products from the food we eat (proteins, fats and sugars) and produces three NADH, one FADH2, and one GTP molecule. the NADH and FADH2 are fed into the oxidative phosphorylation (electron transport) pathway producing ATP the body's main energy storage molecule. NADH and FADH generate 2.5 and 1.5 ATP molecules respectively in oxidative phosphorylation. GTP can also be used to form an extra ATP.

Citric acid cycle intermediates also also starting products for many important biosynthetic processes; eg.
- fatty acid synthesis and the production of cholesterol, which in turn, is used to synthesise the steroid hormones, bile salts, and vitamin D;
- non-essential amino acids proline, glutamine and arginine the last two are converted to form the purines that are used as the bases in DNA and RNA, as well as in ATP, AMP, GTP, NAD, FAD and CoA;
- aspartate from oxaloacetate can be converted unto the pyrimidines- thymine, cytosine and uracil, the complementary bases to the purine bases in DNA and RNA, and are also components of CTP, UMP, UDP and UTP;
- porphyrins from succinyl-CoA is an important component of the hemoproteins, such as hemoglobin, myoglobin and various cytochromes.

Essential Amino Acids


There are amino acids that cannot be made by the human body. They only come from food. There are 9 types of Essential Amino Acids. They are isoleucine, leucine, histidine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, valine, tryptophan


Non-Essential Amino Acids


Our bodies make these amino acids. There are 4 types: asparagine, alanine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid.

|skill=1
|year=2010
|category=Arts and Crafts
|authority=General Conference
|insignia=Cardmaking.png
}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is the most important part of your card - the main part (base) of the card. It is a sturdy kind of paper. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape. Card stock has many other uses within card making. For example to punch out shapes from, for hand made embellishments, and for stamped images or messages added 3D to base card, etc.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. By running the ink pad along the edge of card stock they can also add a colored edge. They come in various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is great for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (run damp paint brush along paper using ruler as guide then hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish. Vellum can also be used for a transparent base card with front embellishment placed to hide the inside message.

=== e) scrapbook paper=== 
scrapbook paper can make quick and easy backgrounds for your cards, and make very attractive cards in a short time.

=== f) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. They can be used as borders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images from the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments, or add decoupage to your cards as they often have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to select details to emboss in a stamped image, add or remove details or to hand draw your own image or message to be heat embossed. eg. modify a stamped message from "my..." to "our..."


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Alcohol Inks, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 9.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

You can also cut out designs or images from the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments, or add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to select details to emboss in a stamped image, add or remove details or to hand draw your own image or message to be heat embossed. eg. modify a stamped message from "my..." to "our..."


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Alcohol Inks, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 9.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is the most important part of your card - the main part (base) of the card. It is a sturdy kind of paper. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape. Card stock has many other uses within card making. For example to punch out shapes from, for hand made embellishments, and for stamped images or messages added 3D to base card, etc.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They can also be used to add a colored edge to card stock. They come in various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is great for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (run damp paint brush along paper using ruler as guide then hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish. Vellum can also be used for a transparent base card with front embellishment placed to hide the inside message.

=== e) scrapbook paper=== 
scrapbook paper can make quick and easy backgrounds for your cards, and make very attractive cards in a short time.

=== f) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. They can be used as borders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images from the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments, or add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 9.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is the most important part of your card - the main part (base) of the card. It is a sturdy kind of paper. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape. Card stock has many other uses within card making. For example to punch out shapes from, for hand made embellishments, and for stamped images or messages added 3D to base card, etc.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is great for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (run damp paint brush along paper using ruler as guide then hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish. Vellum can also be used for a transparent base card with front embellishment placed to hide the inside message.

=== e) scrapbook paper=== 
scrapbook paper can make quick and easy backgrounds for your cards, and make very attractive cards in a short time.

=== f) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. They can be used as borders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images from the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments, or add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to select details to emboss in a stamped image, add or remove details or to hand draw your own image or message to be heat embossed. eg. modify a stamped message from "my..." to "our..."


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Alcohol Inks, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is the most important part of your card - the main part (base) of the card. It is a sturdy kind of paper. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape. Card stock has many other uses within card making. For example to punch out shapes from, for hand made embellishments, and for stamped images or messages added 3D to base card, etc.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is great for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (run damp paint brush along paper using ruler as guide then hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish. Vellum can also be used for a transparent base card with front embellishment placed to hide the inside message.

=== e) scrapbook paper=== 
scrapbook paper can make quick and easy backgrounds for your cards, and make very attractive cards in a short time.

=== f) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. They can be used as borders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images from the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments, or add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 1. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (run damp paint brush along paper using ruler as guide then hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. Attached to card stock(for stability) wrapping paper is great to add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 1. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is the most important part of your card - the main part (base) of the card. It is a sturdy kind of paper. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape. Card stock has many other uses within card making. For example to punch out shapes from, for hand made embellishments, and for stamped images or messages added 3D to base card, etc.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is great for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
Flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments. Best method for attaching ribbon to cards.

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 1. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==11. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}===

|insignia=Cardmaking.png
}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is a sturdy kind of paper that is used as the main part (base) of the card. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is grade for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (fold, lick and hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper. Attached to card stock(for stability) wrapping paper is great to add decoupage to your cards as often they have repeating patterns.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.

Nitahughes: /* Changing Requirements */

==Changing Requirements==
Hi Nita,
Thanks for your contributions to our wiki! I just need to let you know that you should not be changing the requirements, as the ones we list here are voted and approved by the NAD Honors Task Force. If you think the requirements should change, you can leave a message on the talk page, and we will bring it to the attention of the Task Force (all changes must be approved there).

I have to revert your edits, but I will be working to get your content back in. I hope you don't find this discouraging, and will continue to contribute your knowledge, expertise and passion.

Another thing to be aware of are the <nowiki></nowiki> tags. These mark sections of text for translation, and should not be altered, as it will cause the non-English language versions of the wiki to generated malformed pages.

Thanks for understanding!

''''''I did NOT change the requirements'''''' a requirement from https://www.pathfindersonline.org/honors/arts-crafts-and-hobbies/378-card-making was missed when this wiki page was created. I just fixed this mistake by adding it in and renumbering the following requirements to match the requirements at pathfindersonline. This also fixes a major confusion in the previous version.

===Revision===
Sorry, I must have hit a link by mistake. Didn't notice it until now. --[[User:W126jep|w126jep]] ([[User talk:W126jep|talk]]) 23:32, 8 November 2014 (EST)
:Yeah, that's what I figured. No problem! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 00:27, 9 November 2014 (EST)
I'm brand new to this Pathfinder Wiki thing and unsure of how to contact you for clarification of how I can/should do edits. I added info to the Cold Weather Survival honor just today. Some was kept, and a huge portion deleted. Unsure why, and not interested in adding more if it'll be deleted. I welcome correction and tutorial as to how to do this within bounds and be useful. Or… maybe this is out of bounds for me and I should stay off. Do clarify. Not sure how I'll even find this discussion again. I can be reached at erik AT stenbakken DOT com if I cannot find this again.

===Transparent backgrounds===

Thanks for fixing up the SPD honors to make the backgrounds transparent. The 9 ADRA honor images have the same issue. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 01:59, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
:OK, I'll see if I can get to that tonight. It was easy compared to when the wiki first opened here and I had nearly 400 to do. That took a little longer! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 16:00, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
::If there are any left to do, just let me know, and I'll take a crack at them :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 09:16, 20 December 2015 (EST)
:::I believe they have all been taken care of, but thanks! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 09:22, 20 December 2015 (EST)

===New SPD Honors===
each of the new spd honors has complete answers on the spd site. can we copy them in? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 02:05, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
:That depends on them. Did they license them in a way that we can do that? When they began their exercise of revamping everything a couple of years ago they asked if they could use the wiki answers. Of course the answer was "of course, you just have to keep the CC-BY-SA license." They were delighted, and they did exactly that. I don't know if they maintained the spirit of openness with their material. I'll look into it tonight (or you could). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 16:03, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
::Nope. From their website:

::CC-BY-SA requires that we be able to use it for any purpose whatsoever, including commercially. We can't change that because those are the terms we inherited from Wikibooks/Wikipedia. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 16:11, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
:::Hmm I have been thinking we should delete Wikibooks as it is increasingly not complete and not the best answers anymore. Ibfound wikibooks first and started editing there - how many users end up there and find what they need?
::::Deleting things at WB is not that easy - the WB community has to vote to approve it, and it can only be done by an adminstrator. I dropped my admin privs there some time ago. I still keep an eye on it, import worthwhile edits, ignore inconsequential ones, and fix wrong ones. When I see someone making good edits there I contact them and tell them about this site. Sometimes they respond, and sometimes they do not. It would be nice if it were no longer with us, or if the WB community would allow an off-site redirect. I just don't think they would. Also, (not that you were suggesting this) that would not lift our obligation to continue licensing under CC-BY-SA. Those are the terms under which most of our content was derived, so we are bound by that. IMO, that's a Good Thing. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 21:39, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
We could just ask SPD permission tobcopy here - they might say say yes. I will contact SPD before writing new answers. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 21:32, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
:Yes, but when you ask, you need to make it clear that we would want to relicense it under CC-BY-SA. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 21:39, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
::a few things. For the moment I directed people to the SPD site for the Chistian Worship honor. No point redoing something that is well done while we have other honors without answers. We could claim copyright on the questions at Wikibooks and delete them, which would make the answers pretty useless. I patrolled all the requirement changes very carefully. All good now. I also found a dairy farmer freind that should be able to help finish the last of the Outdoor Industries honors off. Getting pretty close to finishing Outreach section too.
:::I would really rather not make copyright claims on WB to get the old work deleted. When I began the work there, I was worried that the NAD might do just that, and I was reasonably certain that my use of the requirements fell under "Fair Use" and I was ready to defend it on those grounds. As it turns out, my fears were not unjustified. There were people in the NAD who were pushing to do exactly that, but others in the Youth department who fought fiercely to defend what I had done and prevented that from happening. I would have been devastated. Further, the NAD once deleted the PF forum without warning. It took us a year to get it restored, but by then it was too late. We had a thriving community there, and that action killed it. There are still a few in the NAD who view the whole wiki concept as flawed, and if they ever managed to push that view through, this site would likely be gone in an instant. I would like to have the old one there to fall back on. For that reason, I make regular backups of this site. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 17:04, 26 April 2014 (EDT)

===Radio===

http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Vocational/Radio header should link to the Advanced honor. Can't figure out how to change it. [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 12:52, 3 April 2014 (EDT)

:The honor_header template has some code in it to look for "<pagename> - Advanced". If it finds it, it links to it. The Radio - Advanced honor had been misnamed (no hyphen) so the code couldn't find it. I've moved the page now, so it works. Thanks for pointing it out! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 21:54, 3 April 2014 (EDT)

==Sharks==
Can you change http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Sharks to http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/'''Nature/'''Sharks [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 02:36, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
:Hi, JadeDragon. I did that on purpose. I intend over the course of the next couple of months to move all the honors out from under their categories and place them directly under the root level. The reasons for this are that it will make it a lot easier to link between honors if we remove that level of hierarchy, and it will not really mess anything up. Another reason is that the NAD Honors Taskforce approved a new honor last week but did not yet decided on which category it will be assigned. It will probably go into a new category named "Heritage," and there are several other honors that will be moved there with it. We expect there will also be a Heritage Master Award forthcoming. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 09:14, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
::However - that's a lot of work, so I want to stew on it for a little while before I act. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 09:17, 17 March 2013 (EDT)
:::Great, thanks for the insight. Agreed - much easier to interlink, but lots of work to change all the links. If you decide to proceed let me know, and how to do it. I'm happy to divide the categories up between us and tackle the job.[[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 21:12, 20 March 2013 (EDT)
::::I think I'm going to want to stew on it longer. It would be an incredible amount of work, and I'm not sure that it would even lend itself to automation. The honors themselves wouldn't be that hard, but some honors have submodules that have relative links. I think it might be best to move Sharks into the Nature category for now (and maybe forever). --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 21:19, 20 March 2013 (EDT)

:::::I see you copied me a bit on the honors listing :D I just felt it took up less space visually, and less scrolling to put the honor patches :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 00:35, 6 June 2013 (EDT)
::::::Yup. I wasn't going to list mine at all, but liked the way you had done it so much I changed my mind. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 06:28, 6 June 2013 (EDT)

== Images for the radio electronics honor ==

I noticed that most of the images in the radio electronics honor are missing, presumably due to the transfer to the current wiki. Do you know if they are still available?
:Yes, they are still available, and your guess is correct. This was one of the first honors I tried to answer at Wikibooks, so not knowing better, I uploaded the images to Wikibooks instead of to Wikimedia Commons. I will upload them to our wiki in a few minutes.
:Incidentally, I designed (and tested) the circuits in these missing images, so if you have questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for pointing out that these were missing! --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 18:51, 10 March 2014 (EDT)
:: Thanks. It might be good to add some more resources either to requirement 8 or to a new "resources" section at the end. Places like Adafruit.com and Sparkfun.com have kits and tutorials available. In addition eBay can be a great place to order components for much cheaper than the normal sources like digikey, mouser, etc...
:: I would like to put together one or more new honors dealing with more modern electronics like microcontrolers and stuff. there are so many great things that can be done easily now that weren't available to most people 20+ years ago.--[[Special:Contributions/206.210.161.13|206.210.161.13]] 15:52, 11 March 2014 (EDT)

::: Those are good ideas. I had been toying with the concept of a few honors like that, but hadn't considered an honor based around products such as the RasPi, Arduino, or Adafruit (et al). I had been thinking more along the lines of Digital Electronics, which would deal with logic gates. I do get to sit in on the NAD Honors Task Force (though I couldn't make it this year). I'll see if I can dig up the guidelines for submitting new honors and post them here.

:::As for modifying the answers in requirement 8 or adding a resources section I say... go for it. This is a Wiki, and you have edit privileges already. Here are a couple of honors I had been thinking of:
*Digital Electronics
*Microcontrollers (well... that's your idea, but I like having one list)
*Programming
*Soldering (not sure that would be a whole honor, but... maybe it could be. It could also be a requirement in one).

:::There have been noises on writing a Robotics honor too. The one I saw was going to require Lego Mindstorms, which I think would be a mistake. Having requirements that can be met with Mindstorms is OK, but requiring a particular brand... not cool, and definitely prone to built-in obsolescence. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 16:43, 11 March 2014 (EDT)

:::: The problem I was having was coming up with a name for the honor. Digital Electronics was one I thought about but I wasn't sure about it since I thought microcontrollers might be beyond just digital electronics, but it was the best one I had thought of. Maybe the basic honor could deal with the simple components: logic gates, 555s, etc... and an advanced honor could deal with microcontrollers, or maybe it should be the other way around, it might be simpler to do stuff with a Pic, Stamp, or Arduino and then the advanced honor could deal with the components. The obsolescence issue is a huge one, maybe "radio electronics" should be renamed.:)
:::: Soldering is one of the requirements for the radio electronics honor. Maybe an advanced honor could be added that included more soldering, surface mount maybe, plus other things like creating PCBs.
:::: I always thought it would be fun to have a programming honor that could be done in any language, and have language pins like the stars and diamonds, that could be applied to the patch for different languages.
:::: There is a proposed robotics honor requirement on the [http://www.adventistroboticsleague.net/ Adventist Robotics League] website, but it needs some work. I also got some requirements for several proposed honors from Mark, but they all needed work in my opinion. I agree that specifying the mindstorms is an issue, though it should definitely be named as an example in the honor answers.
:::: I haven't updated anything yet because I haven't had time, and I hadn't gotten around to creating an account on this wiki yet. Anyway I have an account now, so I'll try to make some updates. One question I did have about updates, is would it be possible for you to recreate the symbols and schematics in a format that doesn't have a black background? They are a bit harder to read that way when you try to print them. I'm not sure what you created them with so I don't know how hard it would be to recreate them.--[[User:MrJoe|MrJoe]] 00:43, 12 March 2014 (EDT)
:::::I created them with gEda, but I don't know if I still have the source files. I'll dig around for them when I get home tonight. If worse came to worse, it would not be that hard to recreate them from scratch. They are (by design) not complicated circuits.
:::::I like the idea of language pins, but since that deviates from any established practice, it would be a lot more difficult to get the honors committee on board.
:::::I would prefer to have digital electronics preceed microcontrollers, as it would tend to remove the "magic." Having even a loose graps of the fundamentals would allow the student to create and/or interface peripherals to the microcontroller. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 13:40, 12 March 2014 (EDT)
::::::An exhaustive search of my archives came up empty. If we want schematics with a white background, we'll have to create them from scratch. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] 11:17, 13 March 2014 (EDT)
:::::::I do have photoshop again, and could work with you on creating some if you wish :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 09:13, 20 December 2015 (EST)
::::::::Photoshop is the wrong tool for schematic creation. But you could use it to change the colors on existing schematics. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 09:24, 20 December 2015 (EST)

== Outreach Honors ==

Been away for a bit - popped in and saw this diff = http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php?title=Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Outreach&diff=64480&oldid=64479 which does not say what I think you mean to say. Also as a Pathfinder in Canada - what group should I go for? [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] 02:07, 11 August 2014 (EDT)

== Lego design and Adventist Heritage ==

Just wanted to let you know that the patch color for the Lego Design honor is the wrong color. It is currently dark blue (outreach) and should be light blue for Arts and Crafts. If you want, I can fix it in photoshop and upload the new one this weekend. Also, the link for the Adventist Church Heritage Award (Not the honor version) is broken. [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 14:39, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

It's been fixed - never mind :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] 15:06, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

== Request for a table ==

Can you put this content into a table? It could be 3 or 4 columns wide and take up far less space. Struggling with that. http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Investiture_Achievement/Req2Texts [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] ([[User talk:JadeDragon|talk]]) 20:51, 2 November 2014 (EST)

== Water Science ==

Trying to add a reference link to the references section on [http://www.investitureachievement.org/wiki/index.php/Adventist_Youth_Honors_Answer_Book/Nature/Water_Science Water Science], but it's not working right with the Translate code. How would I do that? Been a while since I poked around on here. Planning to teach this to my class, and wanted some good links.

Link here: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water Wikipedia: Water] [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 09:14, 20 December 2015 (EST)

:The link would be written this way: <nowiki>[[w:water|Water]]</nowiki>. Whenever linking to Wikipedia, you just put the letter w followed by a colon and then the name of the article. Then you can put the name within the parameter so the blue hyperlink appears with the name you want.

:I'm not sure what you mean by translate code. If it has to do with translate tags, don't worry about it, just make sure you don't delete any existing ones, and I'll take care of marking it for translation.

:If you mean linkng the article to Wikipedia in another language, that is done by the translator working on it.

:Hope that helps!--[[User:W126jep|w126jep]] ([[User talk:W126jep|talk]]) 10:29, 20 December 2015 (EST)

::My guess is that she was adding it after the noinclude/translate tags? I added the ref. Cailin, you should look at it to see what I did. --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 10:40, 20 December 2015 (EST)
:::Thanks, I'll look at it :) I was in the middle of editing when you did that... so hopefully it worked [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 10:48, 20 December 2015 (EST)

:::: Finally added the Water Science Jeopardy pages to the honor :) [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 18:24, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

== Homemaking Master and Wilderness Master==

I uploaded a color corrected version of the patch (literally scanned my sash :P), But I can't get the new version to be the active one? [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 22:28, 27 May 2016 (EDT)
: Never mind, I got it :P [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 22:32, 27 May 2016 (EDT)

== Health and Science Honors ==

I noticed some of these still have the blue background of Outreach (Spiritual Growth), when they should have purple for Health and Science. I'm working through them and updating accordingly. Already changed over Standard First Aid and Health and Healing patches. [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 22:38, 17 June 2016 (EDT)
:Good catch. Thanks [[User:JadeDragon|JadeDragon]] ([[User talk:JadeDragon|talk]]) 00:27, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
:: I'll make another pass later this week and see if there are any I missed! [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 23:04, 20 July 2016 (EDT)

== Flower Arrangement ==

I've fixed the issue with the Baby's Breath image. I am however noticing a coding issue just at the start of the section which has the tables of perennials and annuals. Could you take a look? [[User:Bluescifiworm|Bluescifiworm]] ([[User talk:Bluescifiworm|talk]]) 18:51, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
:Fixed --[[User:Jomegat|Jomegat]] ([[User talk:Jomegat|talk]]) 22:50, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

the revisions add to the card making honor was not changing the honor just fixed it to match the requirements at https://www.pathfindersonline.org/honors/arts-crafts-and-hobbies/378-card-making. Requirement 10 was mistakenly omitted in the wiki and I added it back and renumbered the remaining requirements to match the pathfindersonline honor requirements. As you have reverted the wiki it is incorrect and confusing as it asks within question 10 to complete requirements from question 10 which don't exist in the reverted version only in the version as I fixed it !!!

|skill=1
|year=2010
|category=Arts and Crafts
|authority=General Conference
|insignia=Cardmaking.png
}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is a sturdy kind of paper that is used as the main part (base) of the card. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is grade for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (fold, lick and hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

Alternatively place card stock in an embossing folder and run it through a die cut machine.

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. List at least five reasons (occasions) for making cards.== 

-Birthday, Birth congratulations, Engagement, Wedding, Wedding Anniversary, Sympathy, Mothers day, Fathers day, Christmas, Dedication, Baptism, Graduation, Friendship, Miss you, Valentines Day, etc.

==11. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==12. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The most enjoyable part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==13. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is a sturdy kind of paper that is used as the main part (base) of the card. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is grade for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (fold, lick and hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is a sturdy kind of paper that is used as the main part (base) of the card. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is grade for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (fold, lick and hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==10. List at least five reasons (occasions) for making cards.== 

-Birthday, Birth congratulations, Engagement, Wedding, Wedding Anniversary, Sympathy, Mothers day, Fathers day, Christmas, Dedication, Baptism, Graduation, Friendship, Miss you, Valentines Day, etc.=== 

==11. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==12. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The funnest part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==13. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}===

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments. Treat wrapping paper like you would any printed scrapbooking paper.

==3. Name four different types of ink pads and describe how they are used. Demonstrate proficiency in using at least two of them in a practice project.== 
Ink pads vary depending on the type of ink you choose. Here is a description on the basic types of ink.


;Dye-based ink: Dye-based ink is a good choice for many kinds of paper. It's permanent and has a watery consistency, meaning it dries quickly. Most are not waterproof, which means you can’t color stamped images with paint, pens or other water-based coloring tools because the ink will run together. Tip: Colored pencils work well. Many dye-based inks are acid-free, but will fade with time and too much exposure to sunlight. Avoid using on mulberry paper, since this type of ink will bleed on very absorbent paper.


;Pigment ink: Pigment ink is thicker and richer and is more like mayonnaise. The colors are bright and vibrant and the ink pads are spongy. They’re fade-resistant. Pigment ink doesn’t soak into paper like a dye-based ink and does the opposite --it dries on top. Because of this, the ink needs more time to dry on regular paper, but the advantage gained is that it produces more vivid colors. Please note that pigment ink will NOT dry on glossy paper. If you really want to stamp pigment ink on glossy paper, you will have to heat-set it with an embossing gun for it to dry. Because pigment ink stays wet for so long, it’s perfect for heat embossing!


;Embossing ink: Embossing inks are used to stamp an image before heat-embossing. They come as inkpads in clear or tinted ink or as embossing pens. The pens make it easy to emboss details of a stamped image.


;Distress ink: Distress inks are well known for their soft colors and special ''"alterable"'' possibilities. Distress ink stays wet longer than other dye-based ink pads, so you can blend and shadow with water or other inks. Tap some on a paper, then spritz it with water and watch the colors spread.


;Specialty inks: '''StazOn®, Rainbow Pads, Sparkling Ink, Indian Ink, etc. '''

==4. Describe four methods of coloring in a stamped image and demonstrate at least two of them.== 
# basic coloring in using colored pencils or markers
# chalking
# painting in the colors
# filling in image with pigment powder or glitter (use glue first to hold on to paper)

==5. What is meant by the term monochromatic?== 
Monochromatic means using only one color in different tints, shades and tones.

==6. What is sponging, and how do you use it in card making?== 
A method of adding color and texture to your card stock. Use different sponges (cosmetic or sponge daubers), cut and dip into ink then dab sponge on to paper. Sponges will create different patterns and effects.

==7. What is dry embossing and what tools do you need for this technique?== 
Dry embossing or relief embossing, is a paper decorating method that creates raised patterns on the surface (your card stock) you are embossing. These patterns are made by tracing a stencil with a special tool, called a stylus. They will need:


* Light Box
* Stencil
* Masking Tape
* Card Stock
* Stylus

==8. Demonstrate proper care and cleaning of rubber stamps and storing of ink pads.== 


In the club we set up a rubber stamp care station for kids to demonstrate cleaning the stamps they used during our card making time.


FOR CLEANING STAMPS, you will need:
a roll of Paper Towels (Viva brand is great because it doesn't leave tiny fibers)
a spray bottle with water
a spray bottle with gentle detergent or dish soap diluted with lots of water
a couple of trays lined with paper towels for drying & catching excess water


FOR STORING INK PADS, you will need to decide what your storage unit of choice will be.
Here are some options:
# deep cleanex box, cut out a portion of the box so you can stand on its side (lengthwise, like a tower)& easily stack ink pads in.
# old cassette organizer/shelf (thrift stores might still have em!)
# fancy, expensive store bought shelves
# DIY inkpad foam holder -- there are several patterns and designs online, most use foam boards that you cut and glue to make shelves.


Depending on your ink type, you may want to explain that some folks turn their pads upside down so that the ink will stay closest to the top of the sponges and are ready to use right away. PIGMENT and sloppy inks are better left right-side up so they don't drip on to the lids. the key is ALWAYS --


(1) KEEP YOUR PADS LIDS ON;
(2) lay your pads FLAT so the ink doesn't run around and smudge (esp. on rainbow and multiple colored pads).

==9. Describe and demonstrate how to use at least two of the following in a practice project.== 


THESE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ADHESIVES or "Stick-em on"-ers. There are tons of adhesive options out there that have various effects on your cards dimensions & embellishments.

=== a) foam dots (also squares, hexagons, etc.)=== 
lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== b) foam tape=== 


SIMILAR TO FOAM DOTS but can be for bigger items, lifts embellishments you are sticking on so they "pop up"

=== c) double sided tape or squares=== 
flat adhesive, great for photos and thin or lightweight embellishments

=== d) tape/glue runners=== 
great for boarders and for adhering two sheets together

=== e) zots/clear glue dots=== 
invisible way to stick embellishments and hold sheets together

=== f) washi tape=== 
-a decorative way to adhere things to cards because of the varieties on patterns and designs
-can also be used for trimmings and boarders

==11. Make cards to fulfill three of the reasons discovered in Requirement 10. During your card creation, demonstrate at least three of the following techniques:== 

===a) Monochromatic style=== 

===b) sponging === 

===c) two types of coloring in a stamped image=== 

===d) a card using at least two types of paper=== 

===e) a card using embellishments, foam tape/dots, or other supplies mentioned in requirement 10.=== 

===f) A card using a method of your choice=== 


See guide to each technique above

==12. Do the following:== 

===a) Display your cards at a Pathfinder, AY, youth group, or similar event.=== 

===b) Give at least one of your cards to someone else as part of a missions, share your faith, or similar outreach/caring event=== 
The funnest part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==13. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''

}}

== 1. How are the following supplies used in card making?== 

=== a) card stock=== 
Card stock is a sturdy kind of paper that is used as the main part (base) of the card. Usually you use A5 or A4 size and fold the card stock into the desired size/shape.

=== b) felt pens=== 
Colored pens/markers used to decorate cards. For long-lasting cards/colors try looking for archival quality pens that don't smudge or bleed through. Use can used them to outline drawings, color in drawings/stamps, write in captions/messages, etc.

=== c) scissors (regular and decorative)=== 
Your card making essential: a good pair of scissors! You need a sharp pair to cut your card stock and other embellishments. You may also want to use decorative scissors for fancy edges/corners or for creating your own embellishments (decorations).

=== d) embellishments=== 
These are all the different decorative things you can add to your card. Embellishments come is all sorts of shapes and sizes: stickers, foam shapes, ribbons, different shaped or textured paper, beads, sequins, glitter, etc. etc. etc. Some embellishments come with a sticky back which makes them easy to add to your cards, others you will need to attach yourself. You can use glue, tape, string/ribbon or cut the card to hold the embellishments.

=== e) rubber stamps=== 
The main types of rubber stamps: mounted stamps (on wood or plastic blocks), unmounted (or clings), clears (acrylic), foam stamps & digital stamps. All stamps have unique designs in them that can be imprinted on to a card with the use of colored ink (on inkpads). You may choose to color in the stamped imprint.

=== f) water color, colored pencils & crayons=== 
Much like felt markers, these are different ways to add color and decorate your card.

=== g) ink pads=== 
Used with rubber stamps to imprint the stamp designs on to your cards. They come is various colors, types and sizes.

=== h) punches=== 
Simple die-cutters that can cut out specific shapes. Small hand-held punchers are best for younger card-makers or simple projects. There are also sophisticated systems & industrial sized die-cutters that come with all sorts of patterns and punch out the shapes for larger scaled projects or for more advanced card-makers.

==2. Describe how at least three of the following kinds of paper are used in card making:== 

=== a) glossy card stock=== 
Glossy card stock is grade for backgrounds and accents. Remember, many markers and inks don't adhere to glossy surfaces as well so you need to make sure the ink dries. Glossy card stock is great for punching out shapes or can be "treated" with different methods for unique textures and coloring.

=== b) corrugated paper=== 
Corrugated paper is a wavy or crimped heavy craft paper that is usually found in the middle of cardboard. It makes a great background for layering different sheets and decorations on cards. Corrugated paper gives cards an extra dimension/height.

=== c) mulberry paper=== 
Mulberry paper and other similar fibrous, delicate handmade papers are ideal for backgrounds and boarders. Their unique texture and patterns also make these specialty papers good for layering and accentuating embellishments, lining envelopes or wrapping cards as sleeves. The best way to cut mulberry and similar papers is by TEARING (fold, lick and hand tear) methods, this way the fibers give the edges a softer, more natural, organic look.

=== d) vellum=== 
This sheer, translucent (some say transparent) craft paper is a good way to add dimension or layers to cards and gives cards a "cloudy or dreamy" look, most often used in wedding invitations. Some vellum can be printed on, others don't hold ink well so be sure to check before putting into printers or start stamping/writing on them. Vellum works like parchment paper and is great for tracing if you have a light box or for stenciling. Because of its crispy nature, vellum is also used in making cut-outs. Vellum envelopes and card-sleeves give cards a classy finish.

=== e) gift wrap=== 
Don't throw away your gift wrap! They can be used as boarders and backgrounds for your cards. You can also cut out designs or images for the wrapping paper, glue on to card stock and with the help of foam tape you can make unique embellishments.

The funnest part of making cards is giving them away, so go bless some people. If you create 5 postcards and send them, you also fulfill one of the practical requirements of the [[Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book/Arts and Crafts/Postcards - Advanced|Postcards - Advanced]] honor.

==12. Read the following passages (preferably with a group/unit) and discuss the similarities / differences between these letter greetings and modern day greeting cards:== 

===a) {{bible link|1 Corinthians 15:58}} === 
'''"So, my brothers and sisters, be strong and stead, always enthusiastic about the Lord's work, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless."'''
''-- much like an encouragement card or a morale booster''

===b) {{bible link|Ephesians 6:21}}=== 
'''"Final Greetings: Tychicus, a much loved brother and faithful helper in the Lord's work, will tell you all about how I am getting along."'''
''In biblical days letters were hand delivered and often read to or sometimes recited word for word to the recipient (much like singing tele-grams!). Here is an example of how Paul doesn't even bother to tell his readers how he is and lets his messenger do it! Our modern day cards are usually how folks update each other on the latest happenings in each others lives.''

===c) {{bible link|Philippians 4:1}}=== 
'''"Greetings from Paul: This letter is from Paul and Timothy, slaves of Jesus Christ."'''
''This resembles a letterhead on a formal letter where you write the address and position of the writer. We usually don't need to add our titles on to greeting cards unless it is an official or business correspondence. ''

===d) {{bible link|James 1:16, 19}}=== 
'''"So, don't be misled, my brothers and sisters...be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."'''
''This passage from Paul gives us advice on how to act or re-act. Not many cards actually give sound advice these days, usually if and when a card gives advice its out of humor.''

===e) {{bible link|Philemon 1:1}}=== 
'''"This letter is from Paul, in prison for preaching the Good News about Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy."'''
''Paul signs his name and identifies who wrote it at the BEGINNING of his letters & ends with his wishes and prayers for the reader. Traditionally, we sign our cards at the bottom or end of the message & place greetings/blessings/well-wishes at the front.''
