You’ll need some fabric paints, dish towels (I like the flour sack ones…they seem to be the easiest to stamp on.)  a foam brush, and stamps.  For this project I used the Joyeux Noel set.

You’ll want to put some paint on your foam brush, but not too much!  It should look something like this:

Then use the brush as an ink pad for your stamps.  Instead of rubbing your stamp on the brush, dab it, exactly like you do to get ink onto your stamp from an ink pad.  The stamp should look like this:

Then lay your towel on a flat, solid surface and stamp away!  See, told you it was super easy!!  Just let it dry, and follow the instructions on the paint bottle to set the paint.

Happy Crafting,

Erin

Supplies:

Frame with back removed

Stamps (I used my Boughs set)

Various StazOn Ink (These work best on glass and other shiny surfaces!)

Coordinating Ribbon for hanging your sign

Rhinestone sticker embellishments

Stamp the various images on the back of your glass.  Add embellishments on the front.  It took no time at all to stamp the little flower garden along the bottom.  I used the same green for all the stems, and various shades of pink and purple for the flowers.

I used my Cricut to cut out the Welcome Spring.  If you don’t have a Cricut try using rub-ons or alphabet stickers to get the same effect.  I love how when you hang it up you get a nice shadow that provides depth to you sign.

Happy Crafting!

So here’s the first one!  Hexagon-A-Thon!  I love hexagons and their ability to be used separately or fit nicely together to make a pattern.  This set comes with 10 hexagon images that can be interchanged!  The three larger borders fit nicely around the smaller ones and are easily stamped on top because they are clear!

Outside the box is a great stamp set too!  This set has 4 blocks, and the fillers, so if you just want to stamp the design great, but if you want to fill it in, just stamp the coordinating image on top.  The boxes along the bottom will fit easily around the blocks too if you want a little bit of a border!

Build A Border!  This set is great for making backgrounds, borders, and many other things to add to your card and scrapbook layouts!  I even designed the border stamps so that they are super easy to manipulate and you can even bend the borders to make circles and ovals very easily!  I love what you can do with clear stamps!!

Furnishing Fun.  I love Interior Design, but there’s not too many sets out there that include it.  This has a cute little shelf with two vases.  (The middle of the vases are different stamps so it’s easy to make it a different color (or emboss) just the middle!  There’s a few different flowers for the vases as well as a few cute pears.  The shelf can actually be made into a picture frame too!  (I’ll do a card showing you that soon!)  And of course the chair!  Love the chair!  Looks cute with a little pear sitting on top of it!
