Hello, friends, how are you today?
Recently, I saw a fun idea on Pinterest. They wrapped string around a wooden block and used it as a stamp. This got the wheels turning- what could I wrap around a clear block and use as a stamp? I decided to try burlap ribbon and was so pleasantly surprised when it worked!
Can you see the amazing detail, even the stitched edge of the ribbon? I just love it. I secured the edges to the back of the block with tape and it held nicely while I used it to stamp a set of notecards. Now I’m all set for valentine’s Day!
So tell me, what could you use to create your own stamp? I’d love to hear your ideas!
Happy stampin’ friends!

Cool idea, Michelle! In the past, I tried using several elastic so of different sizes to create a cool background. It turned out really neat!
Oh, that sounds so fun Linda! Thanks for sharing!
This is great Michelle… Fabulous cards too….
Thank you so much, Amanda!
The inside of old hot water bottles have great patterns….
Wow, Connie, I had no idea. Now I want to cut one open and see for myself!
Great idea, Michelle. The burlap ribbon looks so cool. I have used the twine and string idea before as well as different widths of rubber bands. I wonder what the sequin trim would look like? Mmm….
Oh, that’s brilliant, Sandy, we should try it!
What a great idea. This turned out amazing. Very Clever!
Thank you so much, Debbie!
I love it Michelle! It makes my mind whirling!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Sarah! After 18 years as a teacher, I’m always happy when minds start whirling!
