Cut up your Happiness Background stamp that is!! This stamp becomes SO versatile when it is cut apart and mounted on separate blocks!! I used my Stampin’ Up! Hobby Blade and Cutting Mat to easily and neatly cut apart the rubber, then I mounted it on perfectly sized blocks from Mitch Kemp (email him at: MitchKemp@comcast.net for details and pricing) and voila.. I have 9 stamps instead of one!
Then it becomes really simple to stamp on ribbon or cards or other items without only trying to ink just a small portion of the large background stamp! yahoo!
(That’s white taffeta ribbon.. a little hard to see).
I played around with 3 of the stamps to come up with this.. kind of a crazy color scheme, but I was trying to stretch out of the Boho West / fall colors for an evening. It looks so bright and shocking after working with such a muted palette for a few weeks. (grin)
Mitch (husband of demonstrator Deb Kemp) also offers wood blocks for other sets that you might want to cut apart, like the So Many Sayings hostess set, and many others.
