Anyone who knows me also knows that I always look at a stamp and consider the versatility before it becomes part of my stash. I hope these sweet cards help you think outside the box with your stamps, because cardmaking isn't about making the "perfect" card. It is about having fun and creating something that feels good.
This first card is made with a cute stamp from a Crafter's Companion stamp set: "The tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck" by Beatrix Potter. I stamped and coloured Jemima with Letraset Promarkers. Then created a fun background with ripped paper (this is Maggie Holmes Hawthorne paper on the top and Scrapbook Customs Sand paper on the bottom). The sentiment is from Fiskars birthday stamp collection and a few little gems were added for sparkle.
This owl stamp is one of my favorites. I have used him for many a graduation card - this time he will send a birthday message.
I stamped and coloured the owl on white cardstock, then tucked a die cut branch under his claws (cut around the feet with a craft knife). I did not have a stamp for "another year" so I had to print from my computer - if you have nice printing you could go without the computer. "Wiser" I took from a Basic Grey alpha sticker set. Hard to see, but I popped his eyes out with Glossy Accents and left everything else simple and clean.
