One thing I would LOVE to do this year is to use an old stamp/stamp set or a die/dies from my vast collection and CREATE with them again...often times old things in MY collection get forgotten and I am feeling very bad about that!! Over the years I have seen other cardmakers do this, but in these beginning days of January, I have done that...not thinking any further than the day that I was creating. I DID think, today, that I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my old "stuff", and would like to make it a regular occurrence on my blog. I'm not quite sure what's going to constitute old, but I've got a lot of really old stamps, so no prob there:)!! I am going to try to create a new card and post every so often using old dstamps and dies...starting today:)!!...
I last used this Hampton Arts stamp back in 2012...HERE. And although the first and last ones are similar to that one in layout, I used paint chips on the one above, rather than stamping on card stock, and colored the last one.
I LOVE rainbows, but decided on this second one, to use one set of paint chips with five different shades of blue and then frame (I am LOVING FRAMES:)!!) the candles and sentiment. I stamped both cards with black ink and clear embossed, then cut out. Here's a close up...
The third one I chose to stamp on kraft paper, using versamark and white embossing powder...I wanted to try having candles with a white outline. I used my Prismacolor pencils to color the candles and flames. I used glossy accents on all three cards on the middles of the flames.
The stamp may be old, but still just as much fun as ever:)!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
LOVE 'em all! Just beautiful! And... pretty sure that I 'need' that SSS stitched frame.
ReplyDeleteGreat reuse of old stamps!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring idea! Old stamps don't see enough ink. I love how you used paint chips. They are all wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI, too, would like to resurrect my forgotten stash! Thank you for the inspiration and challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove all of them. I think my favorite would be the one in the frame.
ReplyDeleteFantastic idea! I look forward to seeing your use of old stash and stamps. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove every ONE! Great cards and the colors are all awesome....
ReplyDeleteSuch talent, Lisa -- We love that you share it...
I like each and every one of the cards, but particularly how you dressed up your old to the new with a frame and change of color. Like the white outlined on kraft as well. Great job.
ReplyDeleteFabulous CAS, love these candles and their colours! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great goal Lisa. I love this set. Oh so cute. Love them on Kraft.
