Stamping Mad

Theme Thursday Spring Challenge

Theme Thursday’s challenge for today was Spring. Since I’ve been trying to drum up excitement for a Think Spring Fat Book swap, I was really happy to see a related challenge.
I stamped the letters for spring on the page, but they didn’t show up as well as I wanted them to, so I inked […]

Christmas Decorating Idea - Rubber Stamped Wooden Letters

I made this Christmas decoration in an afternoon. You’ll need plain wooden letters to spell out a word, a frame, a piece of decorative paper, a home decor stamp and paints. I used the metallic watercolors I was gushing about yesterday. Sand and prime your wooden letters, stamp your home decor stamp on them using […]

Work In Progress - A Bird’s Eye View

I don’t have a completed project to show you today, so I thought I’d share a canvas I’m working on for a swap. I used a home decor leaf stamp to make the background. I still need to work on the bird’s beak and I’m not sure if I’m done with the eye. I’ve redone […]

Sculpy Rubber Stamped Charms

I kept meaning to play with the Sculpy I bought and then today I had two sick kids home, so it seemed like the perfect time. They played with their clay and I played with mine. It takes some getting used to, but I think this was pretty good for a first attempt. I used […]

Paper Patchwork and Rubber Stamping Revisited

I have an overflowing scrap bucket again, so I thought it was time to revisit paper patchwork. Here’s a little ATC piece I worked on the other day. The medalion rubber stamped image is a UM, so I’m not sure who made it. The image is from Altered Abbey.

Stamped Inchies From Debbie’s Diecuts

Debbie’s Diecuts has some amazing rubber stamped inchies. She made some circle inchies, which I think are absolutely wonderful. In addition, if you hate cutting all those little squares, (and circles) Debbie sells an inchie sampler. That way, you can make your own lovely inchies without the hassle of cutting them out.

Make Art Monday - Everglade Beauty

I did use stamps on this piece, but they got covered up completely by all the layers of acrylic and lace. Everglade Beauty is based on the lovely blue herons I was watching the other day. I started a series called Chesapeake Blue that features herons, but remembered that I had this background and got […]
