I am taking a wee break from work as my computer is ticking me off. So I figure no time like the present to STAMP!
I am really lov'n playing with my Elzybells again this week. Been a while since I dug them out. But once I do it is love all over again! It is liking visiting an old friend... I know you ladies know what I mean! LOL
So here is the deal, you take a 12x12" paper, cut it at 4 1/2" and then use your SCOR-IT, and score at 5" and again at 10". Fold it like a match book. Then add a tiny bit of adhesive to make a wee pocket inside. Then stuff anything you wish inside. I wanted to put a packet of flower seeds in, but alas no time to run off to the store, so STAMPS will have to do!
Now for the fun part. Decorating the front. I just picked a fave Elzy stamp inked her up; and masked the present in front. Then coloured her in with my copics, and cut a flower from the Designer Paper to link the image to the background.
Ladies I am telling you; if you have not tried masking and altering your stamps; please DO! In these hard economic times it helps to stretch your stamping dollars!
Experiment, and Enjoy my friends!

ReplyDeleteI love your paper choice. And that girl is so cute. Love the button and the tag and the everything.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to make the folder to hold the stamp packets...too often I get too excited when I'm shopping and they have released a new series only to get home to realize that I picked up 2 packs of some of the stamps!
ReplyDeleteI would totally take that card with stamps in it over any seed packet, although I think the flowers is a GREAT idea. I just prefer stamps to dirt ; ) Love what you did with this challenge. Makes this a fun card to open!
ReplyDeleteSweet card :)
