Today my sister and I attended the Heirloom York Rubber Stamp & Paper arts festival. There were TONS of amazing crafters present and just about any type of stamp you could possibly want. We participated in a couple of very fun make and take projects.
The first was a vendor called “Purrs and Pants.” They carry wood mounted stamps that are ALL cat or dog themed. The stamps were so adorable! When I saw these candy holders, I just had to make one! She looks a little like Abby – so cute!
Next we did a make and take at “The Paper Cut” with some fabulous paper.
Here’s the card. What we did was ink the card in desert sand and blue to make the sand and the sky. The natural texture and sheen of this Wave Astrosilver paper made it shimmery and beautiful. We wiped off the excess ink, and stamped the rest with staz on ink to keep it from smearing.
Look at that shine! I’m in love. I bought a pack, of course. I got the pack of cards, though I probably will end up cutting them to make cards like above.
When I got home, I played around for awhile and ended up making birthday cards for a few upcoming birthday parties. This is all Close to My Heart, using up some scraps I had laying around. Cute and simple.
Until next time, keep stamping!
