When I first spied the 'Special' Hero Arts rubber stamp at Ben Franklin Crafts, I didn't hesitate to purchase it. I had planned to use it to stamp the back of my cards sent to those who regard handmade cards with the same importance as text messages.
I also purchased (at BFC) the new Sister Stamp of the little boy flying an Asian kite. This stamp was intended for my annual Boy's Day cards. Rather than making the usual Asian theme card, I thought I would surprise the recipients with a simple unfussy card. Putting the 'special card' message on the front in a sun-like target was my way of emphasizing the message LOL!
On the inside of the first card I used the kite image that was part of the SS rubber stamp. The kite string is a cord that I strung through a hole punched through the card front (with a long reach Crop-o-dile punch).
For the second card I used a pteradactyl stamp ( Imaginisce) I rediscovered when looking for for the Flying High stamp (also Imaginisce) in my stash. The Happy Boy's Day word stamp is a Dandelion Design stamp. (I thought the flying dinosaur image would be more appropriate and humorous for my dino loving son.)
I will never stop creating cards as long as I can use a rubber stamp, see images and colors, and cut with a scissors. I have a mission to persuade the world that we still need the human touch to send messages from the human mind and heart. Don't become a machine okay?
Both cards are super perfect for the boy's day occasion... Love how you paper piece his outfit and pierced that wee hole through it. Awesome job on showcasing this new stamp...
