Let’s Put the “Fun” in Friday!
This week has been a lot of fun. I have learned a lot from all the artists’ work we’ve featured and I hope you have too! Who knew there were so many different things to stamp on? Today I have two terrific cards to show you and a fun little giveaway also!
Robyn Werlich never stops cranking out really fantastic stamped projects. For this week, she created a really sweet baby boy card featuring stamped cork! Cork is wonderful to stamp on and punches out really well with your circle punches (using the thin cork). Robyn also stamped stars on her clear buttons before stitching them in place.
Here are some helpful tips from this talented artist: “When stamping on cork, try using a thicker ink like a pigment or chalk ink. Some dye inks will just absorb into the cork and won’t be visible. Experiment! You can also emboss on cork too!”

Supplies:
- Clear Design: Precious Baby Boy
- Card Buttons Clear
- Other: Cardstock, brown marker, brown StazOn Ink, brown chalk ink, 1” circle punch, 1 ¼” scalloped circle punch
Jennifer McGuire decided to stamp on glass. There are many ways to do this, but she chose to emboss with white on frosted glass. So very easy to do! I am completely mesmerized by this pretty card - it is beautiful!

And… to finish Friday up in a fun way - let’s have another giveaway - we like those, right?! We had such a great response to Wednesday’s video project by Kristina Werner, so I’d like to offer up the Woodgrain Circle stamp and the Clear Buttons she used for her button technique. Just leave a comment on this post - you have until Monday morning to be entered into the random draw. Good luck to all!

I never thought of stamping on buttons, and the video was so fun and fine. Makes it easy. (I have been amazed at how often and how many ways that woodgrain stamp has been used!
Here’s hoping!

I have had clear buttons and always used them with paper behind them to use them as embellishment, but stamping them opens another fun way to play with them. Thank you, I am off to stamp on my clear buttons! Rosie

Thank you for the new idea for some of my memory glass. Since I have etching cream, I can frost the glass myself!
