Rubber Stamping & Card Making with Yapha

One of the new sets I got is That’s Funny. I think the “Complimentary Peanuts” stamp in it is absolutely hilarious! I also got it with my co-librarian Sean in mind. As soon as he saw the stamp about scaring normal people away, he wanted some cards with it. So this first card with the set is for Sean. I used the sketch from today’s Mojo Monday, and the colors from the Retro Fresh style watch on pages 10 & 11 of the Spring/Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog.

The sketch:

The card:

Stamps: That’s Funny
Ink: StazOn Black, Kiwi Kiss, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Blush Blossom, Chocolate Chip

Hope he likes it!

When Eve saw that I was stamping, she of course wanted to jump in as well. I was playing along with the Mojo Monday sketch, so she came up with her own version. She made a Valentine for her dad. She made the truck blue, like his, and colored his sweatshirt green, like the Applewild School sweatshirt he loves. I did the cutting for her, she came up with the colors and all the rest herself.

Stamps: Loads of Love
Ink: StazOn Black, Stampin’ Write Markers
Paper: Real Red, Glorious Green, Brilliant Blue, Whisper White
Accessories: Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Brilliant Blue Brad

I really think doing these sketch challenges are great for both creativity and math skills!
