Guest Crafter

I am grateful to Wide Spread Crafting for letting me occasionally post.

I love all kinds of crafts as well. I am up for trying anything and have a lot of "hobbies". One of my hobbies turned me into a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! about 4 years ago. So the majority of my posts will be rubber stamping and using Stampin' Up! products.

I am also a big fan of Splitcoast Stampers. I love the step by step tutorials, swaps, rescources, and of course the daily posts from all those creative ladies, and men, out there. A lot of the techniques I use can be found on their website.

Keep checking back for more projects!
Thanks,
Shoni

Faux Stained Mosaic Cards

FAUX STAINED MOSAIC

I just did a class on a Faux Stained Mosaic technique, that I did get from Splitcoast Stampers. I saw this and had to try it.

I am one of those who has to keep "almost" every scrap. When I get a new set of stamps, you pop them out and mount them. What do you do with the left over rubber trimming? You make your own stamp!

Cut up the trimming into small squares, triangles, and any shapes you want. Adhere them to a piece of card stock of any shape until card stock is completely full.

Waola! Unique stamp made by you at no extra cost. You can use punches, diecuts, or your own designes for the card stock. I would suggest using a card board or a strong backing that is the same shape as your card stock to keep your stamp from flexing too much.

I used the Top Note Bigz Die to make these 3:

This card is using the large butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die that I did for a swap:

Let me know if you would like any info on the materials, supplies and accessories used for any of these cards.

Thanks for letting me post!
