Stamp this?

I’m always looking for new ideas for stamping, and new surfaces to try stamping on. Recently I created this fun card by stamping and embossing a Scrapblockâ„¢ on some velvet paper. It turns a super simple card into something a little more special.

Cork, patterned paper, foam, buttons, fabric, felt, even leather are fun to stamp on. If you want to check out a fun suede Western Christmas Card…you can see my free on-line project on the Paper Creations web-site. I’m really tickled with how that one can out so I hope you will! 🙂 There’s also a non-stamped winter card above it if you’re looking for something a little more scrappy. 🙂

If you’re looking for the Ways to Use it Challenge today… life has been a bit crazy this week and Michele Boyer has kindly offered to host it for me. What a great friend!

Have a great day and don’t forget to try stamping on something different now and then!
