Hi guys, I've not been in blogland for almost a week??? What?? This week has gone crazy fast! I have been working on many projects, but for the moment I am 'booked out' as it were, to create things for friends and family. I've a list of cards, journals & presents to make up this weekend (anybody else get booked out too for being the creative friend/family member?? Ah well that's what we get for showing off our talents I suppose lol). Before I go off and get cracking though I want to share my latest tutorial that I came up with from the creation of my last journal page:
These are stamps made from, as you see, cardboard boxes. As you can see below they create a LOT of texture:
They are not like a rubber stamp that'll give a clean or crisp image, these are more creative tools that are very lively and give a different kind of look to your pages.
They can also be (if you do it right) very messy lol here is the tutorial as to how to make them, hope you enjoy:
See you when I've finished earning my living as the last minute handmade card & present creator :) much love Jennibellie xxx
These handcrafted stamps are so cool. Brilliant idea Jenny!

Hi Jenni! I just wanted to tell you I've posted about my visual board and some homemade stamps, if you'd like to see them!

I am still playing with my visual board, and I'm sure the idea is that it will never be really finished. New hopes and dreams may arise, right? ((love and hugs, and many thanks for the inspiration you share!)) ~tina
I made some of these...they work well. I found that after using them with acrylic the 'rope' stiffened up even more once it dried and I could use them for ink after that...love them :)Thanks :)
