Rock Your Stamps

Just added....We're giving away our last Cottage Christmas Collection samples for the week and we thought we'd end it by adding in the i-rock tool too!!

Hi there, Scrappers! I'm Aphra, Imaginisce's guest blogger today.

Ok, I know you don't know me very well, but I feel the need to get something off my chest. Every month or so, the folks at Imaginisce send us Design Team girls a ginormous box of goodies. And every box contains about six stamps per line. So far, I've amassed a whopping 72 PRECIOUS stamps.

I ooohhh and ahhh over their cuteness every month. And then I pack them up and put them in my super special Imaginisce stamp box. They are vintage . . . never been used . . . in mint condition. Probably not what Imaginisce had in mind, hun?

So, when Lori asked me to guest blog, I thought I might push the envelope a little and actually use one of my stamps. Hey, maybe even two. Since I don't have any Copic markers or watercolor pencils and my ink box mostly consists of black and brown, I had to come up with something a little different. That's where the i-rock comes in. Here we go.


First, gather your supplies.
Next, stamp your image onto a piece of neutral cardstock.
Arrange your crystals along the lines of the image.
Set the crystals with your i-rock.
Embellish and add to your project.
Repeat.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you'll try rocking out your stamps. See you soon!

  4. Love this. I too have lots of unused stamps because I'm afraid I'll mess up the image (too light, too dark). Your clever idea covers that, literally. Thanks so much for sharing.
