Here we go, hoppin' again! I hope you hopped over here from
Marisol's blog. Did she have such great ideas. Or if you hopped on my page first, you can get a complete list of all the participants
here.
This month's blog hop is anything but a card. One of my all time favorite categories ever! I actually have two items for you today. One is all about me! Awhile back on the internet I found a few sites that people had made custom covers for their iPhone. We for my phone (not an iPhone), I had gone thru a couple covers and breaking them when I had dropped my phone. Don't worry my phone was fine, the covers-not so much....So I just gave up and stopped buying covers.
Until...so I had to search online for a clear cover, because the mall didn't have one.
I took out the cardboard insert that came with the cover and traced it on to Whisper White card stock. Next, I got out my Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise and Wild Wasabi stamp pads along with the set Flower Fest. My name is a custom stamp I had made a long time ago before I knew about Stampin Up. Maybe it is time for me to get a new one from Stampin Up. Did you know they could make custom name stamps as well?
My second idea that is a SUPER SIMPLE idea that could be added to a spa gift basket that you made yourself of course. (Hmm... maybe I need to make some bath salts in jars and decor elements) I bought emery boards from the big department store. Make sure they are brand that doesn't have the name stamped on them already. I used the small solid flower from Just Believe. I used the same inks as I did on my phone cover and randomly stamped the tan side of the emery boards. Be careful not to touch the ink right away. It takes just a minute or two longer than it does on cardstock. Don't you think they would make such a cute gift for someone, like the secretary, who keeps the school running smoothly?
Now, hop on over to Jane's
blog, where she will have even more idea of what you can make with Stampin Up products besides a card.
Until next time,

What a clever girl you are, I would have never thought of emory boards or cell phone covers either. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Wow -- making your own phone cover, great idea. Doing a spa gift basket with stamped emory boards is a fantastic idea and one I could see myself doing! TFS
Great ideas! Two things I have never thought to stamp before!
Clever, clever ideas! I'm going to nave to go shopping for some emery boards! Thanks for sharing!
Cute!! Love the phone cover - great gift idea (if you know the phone size) along with maybe a checkbook cover (do people even carry checkbooks anymore? I know I don't!), post-it-note covers or notebooks and pens, tissue covers, etc ... all stamped with the same theme! Love it!
Great ideas for stamping on! Thanks for the Hot Tip about letting the ink dry a bit on the emery boards, I see a CASE coming up (Smile).
Oh, I HAVE to CASE your cover idea for my iPod...so cute! And what a cool idea to stamp on those emery boards...great way to showcase those smaller stamps that sometimes get passed over.
Great ideas! TFS
