Fabric and Stamps - Embossed Rubber Stamped Wall Hanging by Lisa F!

Here is another beautiful creation by our design team member Lisa F! She used our 40's owl, black hole star, martini and hibiscus rubber stamps and embossed them onto fabric! So creative!

Lisa says - "I stamped them on acetate with versa mark and used gold embossing powder. I then used my crop-a-dile to punch a hole in each corner. I strung either two or three things of beads on the top of each corner. The background for the stamps is left over small pieces of fabric. I hate throwing anything away, so when I have small leftovers, I sew them to 4x4 squares to be used in something later.  I cut the squares down, and sewed the stamped image on top. I sewed some pink ribbon at the top so it can hang!"

Handmade Pineapple Plates on ETSY by CherryHillStudio

Take a look at these beautiful hand made plates by Diana of Cherry Hill Studio!

Diana says ~ "The pineapple is a familiar symbolic image of "welcome, good cheer, and warmth and affection" throughout the history of America. I hand built this plate out of stoneware clay and then added the pineapple design using a small pineapple rubber stamp and by drawing the larger pineapple by hand. It was then bisque fired. The glaze is a beautiful glossy sunny yellow which highlights the pineapple design..."

"All the pottery you see in my shop is hand made by me in my studio here in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas. I make only wheel thrown or hand built pottery. Most of my pieces are functional but occasionally I will list a whimsical piece or two. All of my glazes are lead free and food safe. They are microwave and oven safe. I love colorful pottery and am constantly experimenting with different glazes to come up with beautiful color combinations..."

Beautiful stuff huh?! :)

Wow! It's been a while since we posted, and we had such great intentions of doing this at least once a week...

Well, first of all we here at Sideshow Stamps have been extremely busy with this lil' cutie!

This is our 4 1/2 month old daughter Dahlia. She's so awesome! And so much fun!!! I just did a little photo shoot with her, so I had to post a pic...

And, we've also just been blessed with two new nieces! Fun times!!

Okay, enough mommy and aunt stuff...

Here's a simple card I made recently.

It's stamped with our big wooden tiki, bamboo branches and hibiscus rubber stamps. I just stamped the bamboo directly onto the card with Memories art print brown dye ink and the hibiscus with Color Box ~ Prussian Blue chalk ink. I stamped the tiki with the same brown ink on another piece of cardstock and sponged the edges with the blue. I cut a few background layers and double stick taped it all together. Voila!

Don't forget our contest is still going and the deadline for submissions is August 31st!
