Why am I talking about elephants and donkeys and such today? Well....that would be because Gourmet Rubber Stamps has come out with a fun line of political stamps! You can find them all in the Singles section in the store! There are six of them, total - "Vote", "Proud to be an American", the donkey, the elephant, "Democrat", and "Republican". And they are WAY FUN! (If you don't live in the United States, I'm sorry...I don't think they have a Labor Party stamp. LOL!)
Yes...I picked that one. LOL! But...like I said, they have them all, so you can get whichever ones suit your needs! These would also be SUPER fun for mock elections at school if you are a teacher!!! What a great way to make fun political buttons for a 'fake' election! (Or for the real one, for that matter! HA!)
I embossed the image with clear embossing enamel on a nice dark blue cardstock from Stampin' Up! I love the way that turned out! And it was actually an accident! LOL! I thought I had picked up the white and I had actually grabbed the clear! LOVE when that happens! HAHA! The twine is from May Arts and the ribbon is just a bit I had in my stash. PERFECT for this card! LOVE!
Now, I don't want you all running away thinking I'm going to become a political blogger, I'm not. I promise! ;) It's all about cards here, folks! Cards and other stuff I make at random. Because that's what I do. I make stuff.
Have a happy day!!!
Super cute and creative! LOVE!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I am pretty political and volunteer for campaigns (though I don't share it publicly because it's just so, so divisive) so I'm always looking for new ways to help me document the elections and why they are so important to me. Off to check out these stamps! :)
