Retiring List Rewind: Tiny Tags and Fabric Flowers

Twitterpated fabrics with the Tiny Tags stamp set

Have you been using the Stampin’ Up! Fabrics with your Big Shot? This Twitterpated Designer Series Fabric (retiring & discounted!! see it online) was cut with the Fun Flowers Die (see it online) for the Big Shot (see it online).

Then I added a tag with the soon-to-retire Tiny Tags stamp set (see it online).  It’s the perfect set to match the Jewelry Tag Punch piece (see it online), which is also retiring!

For full details on these flower brooches, check my original blog post.

Retiring List Rewind: Make A Monster

Make A Monster Birthday Card Idea - watercoloring techniques

Got a little “monster” in your life?  Then you NEED this Make A Monster stamp set before it retires! (see it online) I didn’t realize that I’d never shared this card on my blog, but it’s gotten rave reviews from not only kids, but also teen girls and twenty-somethings.  Go figure!

First you stamp the monster, then add eyes, a mouth and any number of goofy appendages.  Then color with crayons, pencils, watercolor, or whatever you like.

I’ve used this stamp set for so many fun projects — check them on my blog. I think my favorite was shrinky dink charm bracelets!
