In January Stampendous introduced this super product with some of the sweetest stamp designs so that we can not only stamp, but store them as decorations. They are called Curios and you'll love the colorful images mounted on wood blocks that silhouette it's high quality gray rubber stamp!
My project today uses the tweet little bird from Fran's artist sketch style stamps. It's called Tweet One.
I loved the idea of this little blue bird perched around in my room. It's like bringing in a bit of spring into my craft industry world!
I have a supplies list and instructions below, but don't forget to hop on over to the Stampendous blog all this week to see more inspiration with the new Curios!
