Layouts with Cindy

Blue ‘wonder’ LO

I had SO much fun playing with the “Bits and Pieces” stamp set. This set really fits almost every possible occasion, if you only have room in your stash for a few stamp sets, this is a MUST HAVE.

For my ‘Wonder’ layout, I chose the snowflake stamp (with platinum Dew Drops Ink) and created a background on the verticle strip and also stamped some embellies and used a circle punch on them. I then popped them off the page with a foam dot and added a small bling rhinestone for added dazzle. Addt’l supplies: Papers, Bazzill, kraft, Tinkering Ink, Prima Bling

Note: I also used the “Tall Outlines” set (with black stazon ink) on this LO from my stash. This is LITERALLY my favorite alpha stamp set.

SMART CAR LO

I have to admit, I am a TOTAL chicken when it comes to stamping ON my LO, so I have figured out a few tricks along the way. On my Smart Car layout, I used the ‘watermelon’ stamp as a fun scalloped border stamp (using black Stazon). The trick I used was to stamp a border on ANOTHER piece of kraft cardstock, cut it out VERY near my stamped line and glued it on my kraft base and it looks like I stamped it right on my LO. This allowed my to figure out where I wanted to place it without messing it up.

I want to thank Bettina for this wonderful oppertunity to guest design for My Stamp Box!!
