Use those messy supplies you’ve been collecting & make a batch of cards!
Hi friends! Before we get into today’s craft I want to let you know that I have not been blogging every video that I have posted to YouTube lately. I am totally planning to but I have been very distracted for some reason and it had slipped my mind on several occasions to blog the near daily video projects here. So if you are looking for new projects to try and not seeing them on my blog please check out my YouTube channel until I get my act together:)
Today we are going to play with all of those goodies in our stash. Please don’t feel like you need the exact stuff I have, this is a use what YOU have project (feel free to raid the kids craft stash if you need to as well) and we will all end up with happy unique little projects! The inspiration for this project was the cute postage stamp from Carabelle studios. They hosted a challenge for the month of December and I heard about it on the last day and was bummed that I didn’t know about it to take part. I decided better late than never and I would make us some of these fun mini works of art and use them to embellish a card because I always need birthday and thank you cards on hand. Feel free to run with any ideas and techniques you learn i the video, there are a ton!

I used a scan n Cut machine to cut out my stamp shapes:
Just a reminder if you are using the Stampendous Creative Palette instead of a Gel Press or Gelli Arts plate to no let the paper completely dry. On the Creative Palette letting it sit for 5-10 minutes will suffice. Longer than that and it might stick ad rip the paper. I have not used any other plates so if you are unsure of how yours will react go for less time. I don’t want to see all your hard work go to waste:) Do you have any supply in particular gather dust that you want to put to use? This is the perfect project to try it out on! I hope this inspired you and til next time happy crafting!
