RemARKable Stamp of the Month: Collage Curios

Welcome to another RemARKable Stamp of the Month blog tour! This month's stamp set is Collage Curios, a new stamp set that is available in the Occasions Mini Catalog on page 24.

Collage Curios
129099 $20.95 Wood Mount
129102 $15.95 Clear Mount

This stamp set coordinates with our 1" circle punch, 3/4" circle punch, 1/2" circle punch, and the new 7/8" scallop circle punch (see page 16 of the Occasions Mini Catalog) .

My first project is a vintage-style card featuring the script stamp and the butterfly stamp. I wanted to make this card look old, and sponging with Crumb Cake ink is a quick and easy way to get that vintage look.

I used the Natural 7/16" Trim Ribbon to make a ruffly-circle to back the stamped images. Here is a close-up of the stamped images:

I pulled 2 threads close to one edge of the ribbon to make it gather into a "ruffle." I used a little Tombow Multipurpose adhesive to glue the two ends together. What do you think? Here are the supplies I used for this card:

My second card is inspired by my new little nephew! I became an aunt again a few days ago, and I made this special card just for him. I cannot wait to give it to the new little guy and his happy mom, dad, and big sister!

I stamped the hot air balloon in Real Red ink directly onto a piece of Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper. I punched it out with the 3/4" Circle punch and used Stampin' Dimensionals to layer it onto a 1" Circle punch out of another piece of designer series paper. I used one of our new Soda Pop Tops as the "O" in BOY. Here is a closer look:
