Happy Wednesday! I’m so excited to be guest blogging at the lovely Style BluePrint blog today! Click on over to see how to spruce up your door with a pretty spring wreath.
And now on to our regularly scheduled program…
I rarely get sick and it’s even rarer that I get stay-at-home sick, but yesterday, a cold relegated me to the couch.
After working remotely most of the day, I tried to do the whole sick person thing at night. I really did. I caught up on Portlandia (hilarious). I organized my Pinterest boards (oddly refreshing).
But, I was BORED.
So I made these:
I had all of the supplies at home, a Law and Order SVU marathon on TV and cough that made me a homebody for a day. Game on.
I used these pencils as stamps. For three, I used an exacto knife to carve out a triangle shape.
I used a leftover from my DIY Christmas Cards to trace out new cards from a stack of card stock.
I ended up with a bunch of these.
I chose some bright, springy colors from my over-the-top acrylic paint collection.
I used a paper plate to hold the paints and then I got to stamping.
Is it weird that I kind of like how the plate turned out?
Productive sick day, when it was all said and done! I like having handmade cards around to use as thank you cards or to attach to gifts.
I wouldn’t recommend getting sick anytime soon, but I would recommend you play with some homemade stamps next time you’re catching up on the DVR. So easy and so fun!
