Here are 2 projects I made using this stamp set:
 |
| Project # 271 of this year MFPS June #18 |
 |
| Project # 272 of this year MFPS June #19 |
Both of these are Mini Cards which measure 4" x 4" using SILLY SHELLS for both the images and sentiments. Each of the images are colored using chalks. I love the soft feel of coloring with chalks. White tulle was added to the boat card.

And here is my Cricut creations using Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps sentiment stamps from the SILLY SHELLS stamp set. To see how to make one of these Post-It Note holders, see yesterday's post by clicking HERE. All of the measurements are there for you with another example of one I made. I'm making 4 of these so we can give them to the 4 ladies who work in our apartment office. They are always so nice!
For this particular project I used Cricut cart CROCS RULE and cut the Croc wearing a bathing suit @ 3 1/2" and added some googlie eyes. The Sun is from Cricut cart DOODLECHARMS p. 96 cut @ 1 1/2" with Shadow feature. The clouds are from Cricut cart CREATE A CRITTER p. 52 and cut @ 1" and again @ 1/2". The grass is also cut from CREATE A CRITTER p. 45 cut @ 1" and again at 1/2". The sentiment matting is cut using Cricut cart ELEGANT EDGES "Butterfly2" p. 51 Oblong & Shadow features cut @ 3 1/2" and ran through Cuttlebug with "Seeing Spots" embossing folder. It's also inked around the edges with Tea Dye ink.
Our daughter used to make jewelry when she was in high school (over 4 years ago), and she's had this box full of beads and metal, charms and wire... just sitting there. So she brought it over and said maybe I could use some of it to add to my cards. Yes! Party time!
I love Mark's Finest Papers & Stamps sets. I love the images and the sentiments. I hope I inspired you this week to make a few purchases and create some awesome projects using these stamps. It's fun to use the stamped images and color them with chalks. It's also fun to use my Cricut along with MFPS sentiment stamps. Don't ever limit yourself. This is ART. Explore. Create. :)
