Why I Started Stamping

4/15/2017

When I got my Brother Scan N Cut for fabric cutting, I watched several tutorials that led me to try rubber stamping and I was hooked!  Another hobby!  But one that I truly enjoy.
I totally agree with Emily of StampingBella.com who said, "Stamping is magical...for that little moment in time you feel like a true artist."

Below are some cards I made for Altenew's Celebrating Parents Card Drive.

When I first stamped the card above, it looked kinda blah. After adding the splatters, especially the gold, it's one of my favorites from this group.  The splatters remind of pollen and the gold embossed sentiment ties it together nicely.

pumice stone & iced spruce Distress ink
For the cards above, I used the Tim Holtz tree stamp from the Reindeer Flight stamp set.  I tapped Distress ink pads on the stamp, spritzed with water and stamped on Bristol paper.

If you're interested in more details so you can CASE my cards, please let me know!  I'd love to share.  Just drop me a line: sandy@ineedlefabric.com
Since quilting is a longer process, stamping is a wonderful addition to my creativity arsenal.  It can be a faster way to feed my creative need.  You can even make cards to match your quilt gifts!
