Today’s show and tell post features the He Loves Me Set of stamps. Like many of the myStampBOX designers, I love to experiment with my stamps to see how many different ways I can use them. I was brainstorming ideas for this set and thought about the patterned petals. I decided to focus on the petal stamp with swirls (circled in red.)
I stamped with clear ink and embossing powder on a green grid patterned paper from Basic Grey’s new Origins line. I handcut several petals and layered them onto a QuicKutz die cut fish made from cardstock. I added several shades of inking, Glimmer Mist and some fibers for extra detailing.
I adhered the fish with pop dots to another piece of paper from the Origins line which reminded me of bubbles. I stamped the circle sentiment from the Seal It! stamps on one of the areas with white space and added a few gems in between it and the fish. The bubble paper was mounted on a kraft card with some fun plaid ribbon (which reminds me of a fisherman’s shirt.) The end result is a fun and whimsical card.
Try looking at your stamp sets to see just how many you can use in unusual ways. You might just find ones that are off the hook!
Happy stamping! – Jolene
