Stamp Review Crew: Nailed It Edition

Welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!  Our international crew highlights one stamp set on each blog hop which are the first and third Mondays of the month.   A great way to get many ideas for using a stamp set!

This time we are using the set Nailed It.  The tools and sentiments are super for masculine cards.  I however chose the little itty bitty smile stamp as the focus for my project.  By punching the tiny smiles stamped on bright colors with the 1/4" circle punch I got M&M's!  Milk chocolate M&M's are my favorite so I mounted the "candies" on a Chocolate Chip piece of cardstock.
The sentiment was done by selectively inking up just a few letters or words with a marker.   For example "so" is from the stamp that says "sorry".  By looking at all the words in a stamp set you often can come up with new combinations or words--a great way to stretch the usefulness of a set!
To keep the circle theme going I used Whisper White Mini Pompom Trim and colored it with markers.
Thanks for stopping by!  For more ideas click on the links below.  Next will take you to Jessica's cute project and Previous to Tanya's terrific take on the Nailed It stamp set!

  2. Ha! I love the smiles as M&M's, and that you have them looking at each other, and that you managed to get that sentiment from several stamps in the set. You clever little minx, you ;)

  3. Perfect! I love it. You are so clever. I looked and looked at this set trying to think outside the box and could not do it. Not even thinking about just using the smiling faces. Great work my friend!
