Do You Ever Get Crafty Bored?

Six-Sided Sampler, Tap Tap Tap, Thank You

Do You Ever Get Crafty Bored?

Crafty bored? That’s a loaded question, isn’t it?

Let me explain that question a bit more. I think I might be in the minority and that’s okay.

Do you ever get bored stamping the same thing over and over again?

Typically this is something that makes me B O R E D. Very quickly. Like after card #2 making the same one I am bored.

But, when you are crafty challenged, sometimes you need to do some repetitive stamping to really get that mojo going into high speed. This really helped over the weekend. I decided to create a few cards using my Tap, Tap, Tap stamp set and the repetitive stamping helped because I was ready to MOVE ON. Ha ha ha ha!!!

Tap Tap Tap…

If I am going to create more than one of the same card it’s going to be something quick and simple. I chose to play with the Tap Tap Tap stamp set since it’s feeling neglected. I love the typewriter in this set and I love it even more now.

Normally when I use this stamp set I watercolor the typewriter. That meant more time so I nixed that idea and instead embossed the image using Black ink onto Watermelon Wonder cardstock. WOW. I love how this turned out.

I loved the embossed look so much I decided to switch up the color and loved it even more using Mint Macaron. WOWSA.

The fun was just adding a few embellishments like ribbon and White Perfect Accents to top it off.

Create it!

Here are a few tips for creating this card:

The only tough part is a little fussy cutting of the typewriter. I like to emboss my images and sit in front of my TV and fussy cut away.
To keep the ribbon elements together I stapled them to the Typewriter.
The two strips of Designer Paper come from the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Pack.
I used a different stamp set for one of the cards for the greeting- Six Sided Sampler. I went on a little scavenger hunt with my stamp sets and looked for small greetings that fit within that tiny area.
