Stamp Anniething: Madonna - Crazy For You Charm

Many of my friends know that one of my favorite musicians is Madonna. When Stamp Anniething came out with the adorable Madonna - Crazy for You stamp, I was so excited! Not only did I want to make cards with this stamp, but I knew I had to make a cute charm for my key chain! I used some shrink film material to make the charm.

Stamp Anniething products used:

• Madonna - Crazy for you stamp

Other supplies used:

• Grafix Shrink Film
• StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad
• Prismacolor pencils
• 300 grit sand paper
• Crop-a-dial (or 1/8" hole punch)
• Key chain
• Jump ring

Prismacolor pencils used:

• Skin: 943, 941, 939
• Cheeks and tongue: 929
• Hair: 945, 1034, 916
• Purple: 932, 1008, 956
• Pink: 925, 994, 995
• Yellow: 916

Instructions:

• Cut a piece of Grafix Shrink Film to fit the stamp with 1/4" clearance all around the stamp.
• Using the 300 grit sand paper, lightly sand ONE side of the film. It has to be rough so that you are able to stamp and color on it.
• Stamp the image on the film using StazOn or any black ink made to stamp on plastic. Ensure it is completely dry.
• Color the image using Prismacolor pencils. Colors are listed above.

• Start by cutting an area above the bow where a hole will be punched to add a jump ring. Then cut around the image, not on the black stamped lines, but a little wider. Don't cut in between the legs. Leaving the legs together will lessen the chance of breakage.
• Using a 1/8" hole punch, punch the hole for the charm.

• Instead of baking the film, I used a heat gun to shrink the film. I put it on a Teflon craft mat, held it down with a wooden chopstick, then used the heat gun to shrink it. It will curl when it starts shrinking, but will flatten out after it is done shrinking.

• The film shrinks to about 20% of the original size.

• Attach a jump ring to the charm and add it to your favorite key chain or charm bracelet!

Stamp Anniething: You Make My Life Magical

I made this birthday card for a special friend using Gwen-You Make my Life Magical stamp from Stamp Anniething. This beautiful stamp is just perfect for my young friend. It's a versatile stamp that can be used for many other occasions, such as thank you, hello, congratulations, and more!

Stamp Anniething products used:

• Gwen-You make my Life Magical stamp and outline die
• Bubble Stencil
• Hybrid Inks in Bamboo and Shocking Pink
• 3mm Diamonds in Bubble Gum (embellishments)
• Card Mat Dies

Additional supplies used:

• A2 top folding card base
• White cardstock
• Pink cardstock
• White gel pen

Copic markers used to color stamp:

• Skin: E04, E11, E21,E00, E000
• Cheeks: E93
• Lips: RV17, RV12, RV11
• Pink: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11
• Green: YG67, YG63, YG23

To create the background, I first cut out the mat using the stitched rectangle Card Mat Die then inked the entire mat in random spots using the Hybrid Ink in Bamboo using a blending brush. Then I used the Hybrid Ink in Shocking Pink to ink the remaining areas. Then I used the Bubble Stencil to create circles using the same ink and brushes. I then used the curved the sentiment and stamped it onto the inked mat.

I hope you give this card a try. It's a fun card to give to friends and family.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a creative day!

Scrappy Boy Stamps: Fun Banner Card Using Pre-colored Dies!

Today is my design team day at Scrappy Boy Stamps where I create a project using an older release. I am using one of my favorite releases called "I Y'am What I Y'am" based on one of my favorite childhood cartoons. 

When you only have an hour to make a card, the best things to use are pre-colored die cuts, shaped dies, and patterned papers! Here's the card I made in about 20 minutes! It took me a while to come up with the design, but I've done that for you!

Scrappy Boy Stamps products used:

• I Y'am What I Y'am pre-colored die cuts
• I Y'am What I Y'am Paper Pack
• Sentiment stamp from I Y'am What I Y'am stamp set
• Stitched Banners dies
• Stitched Circle dies

Instructions:

1. Using the largest banner die, cut the shaped card base by placing the top of the die over the crease of an A2 size card base so it doesn't cut. This will create the top folding card.
2. Using the second largest banner die, cut the top mat using patterned paper and adhere to the card base.
3. Using a 3" circle die, cut out a circle and ink some clouds or plain sky and adhere.
4. Cut out a strip of of patterned paper 3-3/4"W x 3/4"H and adhere to card.
5. Stamp the sentiment onto the circle piece.
6. Adhere the die cuts onto the card. I used double-sided foam tape for the two characters and liquid glue for the burgers.

Thank you for visiting today. I hope you give this style of card a try. Use whatever dies and papers you have! Have a creative day!

Stamp Anniething: You're Simply the Best

Beginning this month, Stamp Anniething will have a digital image that coordinates with the new release! January's release was 80's pop icons: Madonna, Michael Jackson, and Prince. The digital stamp for this month is Tina Turner! The name of the stamp is Tina-Simply the Best. If you belong to the Deluxe Stamp Club, you get it for free!

Today is my design team day to share a project, so I decided to use this new, beautiful digital stamp! 

Stamp Anniething products used:

• Tina-Simply the Best digital stamp
• July 2023 Stencil Club stencil
• Card Mat Dies
• Jelly Dots

Copic markers used to color the stamp:

• Skin: E57, E25, E23, E13
• Cheeks: R21
• Lips: R22, R20
• Hair: E29, E37, E35, E34, E31
• Blue: B18, B16, B14,B12
• Red: R29, R24, R22

I first cut out the two mats using the Card Mat Dies. I used removable tape and adhered the smaller mat over the bigger one. I used Distress Inks in Broken China and Worn Lipstick to stencil the mats. I then removed the removable tape and added double sided adhesive foam tape to bump up the small mat to add dimension. I adhered these two mats to a top folding A2 card base. 

To finish the card, I used a circle punch to punch out the digital sentiment and adhered it with foam tape then added a few jelly dots.

A fun and quick card to make! Thank you for stopping by. I hope you give this card a try. Have a creative day!
