  Anytime you add glitter to a project the result is extraordinary, especially if you it comes out so good that you can gift share it with someone. Here we make a card using a couple of our sunflowers stamps. We also add glitter to the center of the flower to create a card that will make them go 'wow'. Materials used in this project: Sunflowers Background Rubber Stamp (stamp 2x) onto white card stock Large Sunflower Rubber Stamp Yellow card stock Orange card stock White card stock Ribbon First, take the Large Sunflower Rubber Stamp and stamp it in black ink onto white card stock. Color it in and trim it out with scissors around the design. You can also color in the white trimmed area. I used green to color around the outside of the petals.

Next, take the Sunflowers Background Rubb...

Sunshine Tag

Image
We have several rubber cling stamps of suns and palm trees. One of our newest designs is called Fiery Sun Rubber Cling Stamp and is featured here. We will create with a tag in pretty yellow theme while dreaming warm summer days! Step 1: Take a tag No. 8 in size and cover it in Dandelion Memento Dew Drop ink. The manila colored tag base is easily covered by using the dye ink pad directly onto the surface. Our Fiery Sun Rubber Cling Stamp total size measures 3" x 3 " but that includes the neat rays that feature dot pattern and delicate, artsy lines. The center circle of the sun measures just over 1 inch which makes it a perfect size for any project base. The sun is stamped with Palette Hybrid ink in Noir (black). Next, I stamped our Palm Tree Rubber Cling Stamp in Peanut Brittle Memento ink. This color looks great on the yellow and gives it a subtle look.  Also, I used the eyeglasses from our Man of Mystery Rubber Cling Stamp and placed them on the sun for a whimsical l...

Coloring Victorian Designs

We have some victorian rubber stamps that offer the perfect amount of coloring space to make them stand out in your next project.

Kraft colored tags or cards have a french country look to them, especially when you add jute twine.
