Wow, can you believe it is September already? Fall is creeping in here in northeastern Indiana, and we have a great stamp set to share with you during our Stamp Review Crew blog hop this week, Vintage Leaves. I am in LOVE with this set, and made several cards with it this round. I love it when I find a set that I just CAN'T stop creating with!
This first card uses one of my favorite layouts of all time. You just stamp and sponge everything, then make two cuts, sponge around the outside edges and adhere to your card base. Easy peasy!
For my next card, I made my own ink pad using a wet folded up paper towel and ink refills. I accidentally adhered the wrong side of my brick to my card, so I had to sponge it again after it was already glued down, but I think it still ended up looking pretty cool.
I think this last card is probably my favorite. I initially wanted to just use water stamping for my background. I did this by wetting a paper towel and using that as my "ink" pad to stamp the leaves. However, they didn't all show up great, so I decided to add the glitter leaves over the top so you could see more of the stamp set. I love the result!
I hope you enjoyed my projects this week. Click on the links below to continue on to the rest of the hop!
