Ok, I don't normally stamp, but have been really interested in incorporating some stamping into my card making and scrapbooking ! Soooo....I know we all have scrap paper and most of the time we really never to back to use it. Butttt ..I have a solution ...when making a card or adding a sentiment to a scrapbooking project that you are going to stamp and you find the right color of paper to match but it is a textured paper ( and those of us who will admit it, have stamped on textured paper and wondered why it looks sooo bad...well) The solution is to turn the paper over on the smoothe side and stamp ! Ta-Da !! Your stamped sentiment matches your other papers and it still looks good even though you stamped on textured paper ( who'll know ??!) Hee-hee..I won't tell.
Love my cricut...got this Flower pot image from Walk in My garden and cut out two pieces, added foam adhesive making it into a pocket and added a smaller card that pulls out. The handmade paper flowers are attached to the top edge of the pot and at the top edge of the pull out card. I embellished the pot with satin ribbon and rick rack, and chalked randomly around the edges.
