Recycled Stampin' Up! Materials Card & Blog Hop

I loved the challenge the PALS April blog hop presented (see below for a list of PALS Earth Day projects). As a crafter, I enjoy "upcycling" by looking at everyday objects and creating ways to repurpose them.

As I looked through my craft room I came upon my Daydream Medallions Clear-Mount Stamp Set. I noticed there was a large portion of rubber that was being unused. So my mind started working...

 

After some thought I decided that I would put it through my Big Shot and make a "new" stamp from one of my favorite flower die cuts, Blossom Party Stampin' Up! Originals Die

See that big piece of rubber just waiting to be repurposed?!

I positioned the rubber on the die and ran it through the Big Shot.

And voila! After peeling it away from the other rubber, I placed it on my clear mount and added ink.

I picked Daffodil Delight for the main card color because I thought it was perfect for spring. I stamped my "new" flower stamp on Whisper White cardstock several times to create the card's backgound. I cut two more flowers from the same die cut with Melon Mambo cardstock, glued them together and added a button with linen thread as the center of the flower. I topped the card off with Daffodil Delight grosgrain ribbon and the "thinking of you" sentiment from the Curly Cute stamp set.

Supplies:

Blossom Party Originals Die

Curly Cute stamp set

Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon in Daffodil Delight
