When you paint or color on yellow paper, it is easy to create a night time look.  Our Mason Jar Rubber Cling Stamp is a fun stamp to capture fire flies. Start by stamping or embossing the Mason Jar onto a yellow colored paper.  You can use yellow card stock that even has a little design to it. For those that have never embossed: Embossing is an easy method with rubber stamps that creates a 'wow' factor on paper. Our Mason Jar stamp is an excellent stamp for this. To emboss, you will need an special ink pad (like VersaMark or Ranger) that puts down a sticky surface so that the powder adheres to it. You then sprinkle  embossing powder  onto the design.  Then use a heat gun to 'melt' the powder so it becomes hardened, and thus, permanent. Use oil pastels or water color pencils to color in the jar in blue.  Use both light and dark hues. Use a watercolor pen or paint brush and some water to spread the ink/paint around. Add additional color as ...

This 5 inch x 7 inch card features our Old Glory and Combat Boots Rubber Stamps.  The wave of the flag overlaps the combat boots section and the cards' colors are red, white and blue. The actual supplies needed for this card are very simple (see end for list). The base of the card was cutout of an 12 inch x 12 inch paper. Quick hint: To get a 5x7 card size, cut at 7 inch mark and then cut at the 10 inch mark.  Fold the 10 inch in half and you have a 5 inch face and 7 inch tall card. The rest of the papers were cutout using 8 1/2" x 11" card stock. First blue matte: 4 1/2" x 6 3/4" White matte: 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" (The white matte is the base of our stamped flag, boots and strips compilation.) For the Old Glory section (red), the paper size is: 4" wide x 5" For the Combat Boots section (blue), the paper size is: 4" wide x 3 1/4" Note: your red section will be partially placed under the blue section to create the waving flag....

 Handmade wooden coasters with rubber stamped designs, here is the 'how to.' A pack of wooden circles are inexpensive and can be found at Wal-Mart, or craft supply stores.  This package used in this project came with quantity 6 pieces for about $1. Prepare the surface of the wood by brushing a coat of water based sealer.  Optionally, you can use actual wood sealer in clear or a light color from a home improvement store (requires light sanding in between coats).  I only applied one coat of water-based sealer and allowed to fully dry (2 to 5 minutes). Stamp with resist pad (VersaMark 'Frost' was used in this project, but any resist pad will work. Add embossing powder of your choice of color.  Darker colors stand out more.  You can use gold, silver, glitter, etc. The best way to easily remove any excess embossed particles is with an X-acto knife.

I love to buy notebooks/journals/sketch books.  I recently purchased a sketch book to use as a 'practice' for creating journal pages.  Each page is  5.5" x 8.5" in size.  For this page, I took our Mason Jar Rubber Stamp , embossed it with a brown powder and used a light blue copic marker to color in the glass.  I then took a white gel pen over the blue.  (I'm always looking for an excuse to use the white pen!)  The butterfly is from our Butterflies Rubber Stamp Collection and is embossed with a turquoise, glitter embossing powder and colored in with glitter markers, copics, and colored pencils.  The little border butterflies (from Dragonflies and More Rubber Stamp Set ) next to the jar are also embossed with the same turquoise, glitter powder and trimmed down to just 3 from the border line containing seven. Since it's our Independence Holiday is soon, I printed some text onto vellum paper and glue stick'ed the three sayings to the page....
