Hello out there!

 

I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Here in Ohio, we are finally seeing signs of spring,

and have had a couple of wonderfully warm days.

 

I have a fun little project for you today.

Sometimes, we can use our stamps to create elements

for other things...

The stamps don't always have to be a finished project in and of themselves.

 

Today I made a fun little element for my

weight loss Smash Book.

 

 

Here's the little piece before I added it to my book.

 

Wanna make it?

Alllllllllll righty then!

 

What you need:

Kraft card stock

Die and die cutter or electronic die cutter

White gel pen

Black pigment ink

Viva Las Vegas Super Gloss Embossing Powder

Washi tapes

Vintage Photo Distress Ink & blending tool

Scrap of white card stock

Miracle Tape sheet

Scissors

Heat tool

Stuff to color with (I used markers Faber Castell )

STICKLES!! (Fruit Punch and Goldenrod)

Heart stickers (or punchies, or die cuts)

Shimmer spritz (I used Smooch Spritz)

Stamps: Sitting Bird, Sentiment, Washi Grid Background

 

What to do:

 

Ink the edges of your die cut shape with Vintage Photo

Distress ink using the blending tool.

Stamp Washi Grid Background with

Vintage Photo.

 

Slap on some washi tape,

add some little X's using the white gel pen.

 

 

 Stamp words with black pigment ink and emboss.

Spray with Smooch Spritz. Dry.
Add a heart.

Stamp bird onto piece, right on top of the washi tapes.

Stamp him again on white card stock, and emboss.

 

 

 Color the bird (isn't he fun!).

Trim closely, and put onto a sheet of Miracle Tape.

Cut out completely.

 

 Add the bird to the piece right over the stamped image.

I like to do this because I AM NOT cutting out all of

his little extra hairs and feathers and stuff.

Add a little Goldenrod Stickles to his beak,

and a little Fruit Punch Stickles under where he's sitting.

 

 

Here he is added into my home made

Smash Book. I used Miracle Tape to stick it into my book,

and added a flower.

 

I hope you enjoyed this one!

 

HAPPY SPRING!!!!

 

And, here's your wiener!

Actually, two wieners and a cattle dog, enjoying a little

spring time play time.
