Have you used every single rubber/acrylic other stamp you have purchased

One of my friends and I were discussing how to store wooden based rubber stamps, well my storage of choice are the 12x12 boxes intended for paper but fab for storage of rubber stamps well 14 boxes later my wooden based stamps are stored.

While added them to the boxes I realised I had not used a great many of y stamps, my friend was just the same so our challenge to each other is to use every one of our rubber stamps at least once, they can be used on cards, LO's, ATC's. alter art, bookmarks, tags the list is as endless as your imagination We are also going to use all our other stamps in the same way I am on box one and will add some of my creations for you to see shortly I am making a list of the ones I have used and what I have made with them as I go along

I am also including stencils I have purchased these are my the first batch all cards.

This is what I did with my feathers

I wanted to make a giant size tag, the one I have made measures 14x10and a half inches. I first of all cover the card with white paper I used inserts out of 12x12 album

I started by inking up the edges of the page, green of cause lol

I then continued to ink up by  useing  ink dusters and distressed ink in shades of green, purple and pink

Then I added two layers of lace to the base of the card. I then  stamped the edges with a lavinia cherry blossom stamp, which I later coloured in. I then added a die cut (tim holtz) bird cage and birds, the feathers, a flower I made some beads and the title

 

I am going to hang it up inn my craft room, as I like nothing better that to listen to the early morning dawn chorus, I made this tag using that as a theme 

I thought I have a go at making feathers

I have a Wall hanging project in mind where I am doing a tall house shape, adding  a bird cage, some birds, glitter,  feathers  tree branches, flowers and musical notes. I found some music sheets in a bag of goodies I was given by a friend, the music was entitled Sunrise Serenade, it made me think of birds and there morning song,  so I decided to make the feathers out of the music sheets, these feather will go on my finished wall hanging

My friend gave me some embossed card blanks so...

Last night I made two cards using two of them. I had already made the oriental topper some time back it just needed mounting up The other card is made using My minds eye paper, cosmic shimmers to colour the  flowers in, stickles for the centre The rubber stamps are  Dawn Bibby clear stamps from QVC I put a birthday greeting on one, and left the other blank

Altered Ikea coat hanger

I have altered this coat hanger, lol in green I think maybe a bit too much green but never mind the idea is that I can hang a LO or piece of art from it in my craft room I will be able to change it whenever I want. They could be uses in any room you could hang a piece of needlework or anything from them even a nice tea towel in kitchen

Rosettes we made in crop

I was amazed how easy these rosettes were to make we made them in two different ways one using a circle punch any circle punch will do, the other using apiece of 12x12 paper a strip say 12x 2 and you can leave a plain edge, do with decorative scissors or use a punch to do the decorative edge

The card I made for my wonderful friend Maria birthday

Maria is always busy as those of you, who know her will know, she reminds me a butterfly fluttering here and there so I made her a butterfly card
