Stamp-A-Faire 2017 - 1st Anniversary Tradition: Paper

Rebecca Luminarias is hosting the "paper" challenge over at Papertrey Ink's Stamp-a-faire, and shows wonderful embellishments you can make with paper for your cards.  I loved her tassels, but since I didn't have any of the end caps she used, I decided to try my hand at the paper strip bows.


My granddaughter Addy starts pre-school in 2 weeks, and I thought it would be fun to send her a card using the Pencil Me In stamp set and the Just The Jar: Quart stamp set.  I used a piece of Raspberry Fizz DSP for my background and then embossed the jar on vellum and glued it to my background, leaving the top open so I could insert the pencils I stamped and cut out.  (thought Addy would get a kick out of being able to remove the pencils from the jar!)  I added my paper strip bow which I absolutely love how it turned out, and also a Tiny Tag sentiment.

You can check out all the cards with paper embellishments right HERE.
