Yes, it’s November. Halloween is just over, the candy cupboard is well stocked and we are enjoying our Fall with its pretty leaves and windy walks. Finally more time indoors for games and – naturally – lots of crafts.
I’d like to show some cards that I made when I played with the “Border Lines” set the other day. I call this series of cards “one thing leads to another”, because I started with one card and that inspired me to do the next and so on…
I started with one stamp that is a long skinny border and stamped it repeatedly onto a white card. Then I added a few buttons and this gave me the idea to use buttons as “flower heads”.
Here are the buttons used as flower heads, I added leaves (some are popped up with pop dots) and stitched a frame around the composition. This inspired me to do a “proper” flower:
This card uses the same stitched frame, but also the stem is stitched and only the petals and leaves are stamped.
For this last card I used the arrow stamp for the stem and added petals. A button marks the centre and a scrap piece of paper adds more volume to the flower. Hope you like the cards and my creative process throughout this series.
NOW – over to our new stamp set for November: “Passport to Adventure”. It has lots of fun travel and passport related stamps. Perfect for the documentation of your travels or for a card to wish someone a great trip.
To win the stamp set, you can leave up to two comments, each entry will win you a ballot. You can do one or both of the following:
1. leave a comment, please include your first name and last initial, plus your city/country
2. on a second comment post a link to the place where you have posted about myStampBOX’s blog (on your own blog or in a forum), again you need to include your name and last initial, plus your city/country – Good Luck!
This contest is open until November 14, the winner will be announced on Monday, November 16. Don’t forget to check in if you have been lucky!
