Make Your Own Rubber Stamps with the Big Shot
July 10, 2010
Today is my HUGE Buy One Get One FREE Open House. Stop by anytime from 9-2 to see new catalog products and new samples and make three projects. Cost to attend is $10
Now onto todays project, if you don't have the Big Shot Machine, this just may sway you to get one!! On page 206 of the NEW CATALOG, there is a picture of a keepsake frame box with a rubber stamp in the bottom left space. That is not a stamp in the catalog and I started wondering where in the heck did that come from, it certainly cannot be retired. After a little searching, I found it!!
It is an image on the Simple Numbers Big Shot Die set, see it on page 207. When I mount my stamps,
TIP:I save some of the bigger left over rubber pieces as I know they will be useful sometime!!
I got a few rubber scraps out, placed them on the die and ran it through my Big Shot, the stem is fragile so do be careful with it. After I cut out the pieces, I mounted them onto an extra wood block I had. Then I used my new stamp to make some super simple Love Notes. :-) These are just the cutest mini cards!! They are 3 x 6 folded in half.
TIP: Since I mounted the flower middle at the opposite end of the block, I could easily add it in any color to the other stamped image. I colored the flower and leaves with my Stampin' Write Markers.
I just love it when I can recycle. :-)
