My life is crafting or crafting is my life. I cannot imagine life without being able to show myself in my art.

StampScrapArtTour in Westminster, MD
A friend and I traveled over 2 hours to a stamp show in Westminster, MD on Saturday. It was a great show! If you ever get a chance to go to it, do it. One of the stamps I bought was from TOO MUCH FUN RUBBER STAMPS. It is a HOODIE. It ends up being a gate fold card. I was thinking it would make a great card for guys or teenagers. A gift card will fit nicely inside, too.
I stamped onto decorative paper, cut out and folded it. I cut away the zipper and stamped just the zipper part onto a plain decorative paper. Then I cut out the zipper leaving a bit on the left side to glue under the left side of the hoodie. It makes it look a bit more realistic that way. I am going to buy some camouflage decorative paper to make some for the guys that hunt. The finished size is about 4" x 4 1/2". The stamp is quite large and since I didn't buy the acrylic block to mount it to, I inked the stamp, laid it down on the decorative paper and ran a jar candle over it. That worked quite well. I got that tip from THE FUGAL STAMPER. She has all kinds of great ideas.
