Thank You! Thank You!

Just wanted to pop in here and say thanks for all the well wishes yesterday! It was really a fun thing to have announced and was made even better when I got such a warm response. On cloud 9, really.

Definitely feel the need to up my game with the PTI gang. Such a group of ladies. They've been inspiring me for a long time. I'm totally up for the challenge.


I've actually been hoarding quite a number of projects from the last year. You just never know when you need a little blog material. Thought it was long past time I busted this puppy out. Made it this last August for my parents' anniversary. I wasn't in the blog instruction mode, so I don't have how-to pictures of getting the mirror image of the bike from Everyday Button Bits. But I can certainly describe the process. All it takes is a solid square/rectangle rubber stamp. You stamp your image onto the solid image stamp and then stamp that onto your project. Viola! A mirror image. Another tip? To equal the ink intensity on the mirror image, stamp the original stamp on scratch paper before you stamp on your project. That way the saturation of the stamped images match up. Clear as mud?

Supplies:

Stamps by PTI: Everyday Button Bits, Heart Prints, Favor It Weddings, Polka Dot Basics 2, Text Style, sentiment from last year's anniversary set

Perfect Match Cardstock by PTI: Aqua Mist, Enchanted Evening, Pure Poppy

Ink by PTI: Aqua Mist, Enchanted Evening, Pure Poppy

Vintage Buttons: Aqua Mist and Enchanted Evening


Whew...that's a lot. Told you I was a fan!

  9. Hi -
    I have never done this before and I am very interested in trying. I understsand what you are saying...however, where does one get a clear rubber stamp? Could you provide a few examples of what you mean.

    BTW - the card is perfect.
