Take Two Week: Day ONE
One year ago, Emily Leiphart and I decided to do a week of ALL Unity Stamp Company stamps TWO different ways. I believe we were talking about how we both admired the style of the other and somehow Take Two Week was born. We had so much fun, we decided to bring the party back!
Welcome to TAKE TWO week!!! A week full of card inspiration and prizes too.
The sweet and fabulous Angela from Unity Stamp Company has generously donated the stamp prizes for this week. We have one of each set to give away. So make sure you leave a comment on both mine and Emily’s blog for a chance to win.
Also, we’ll be giving away 2 of my watermarks this week as well.
Today, we are featuring this super CUTE and FUNNY stamp set.
Heehee, makes you giggle, right?
Often, I have a card come to mind IMMEDIATELY and KNOW I just have to order the stamp. Such is the case with this itty bitty. I wanted to recreate the look of an empty toilet paper roll and set about getting it done. I tried a few different techniques and ended up with tape adhesive and Kleenex. Hope it isn’t too ‘realistic.’ ha. Then, I paper pieced the roll together and popped it up on the card.
So here’s a recap of TAKE TWO deets:
- A new card from Emily and Lisa everyday Monday 19th – Friday 23rd.
- comment on EACH blog for your chance to win one of the 5 stamp sets or a watermark
- comments are no longer eligible after Saturday, March 24 at 11:59pm EST.
- We’ll announce the winners on Monday, March 26, 2012.
Pop on over to Emily’s blog to see what she has with this set today!

Oh, Lisa, I’m excited and honoured to be doing Take Two again with you this year! Thanks for being so awesome! I love your pink toilet paper roll and the bits of tissue idea is so clever and cute!!

Love this card! I love the tape and how you added kleenex gave me a chuckle! Thanks for the explanation on the wordpress and email thing because the comment wasn’t working and I couldn’t get it! I don’t have wordpress but I do have a gravatar and have no clue how to log in!
