Hello everyone! This is Amanda from Twiddler’s Nook and I’m back with more caffeinated inspiration from Pink & Main! This mug stamp set is one of my forever favorites and I couldn’t pass the chance to ink it up and play. Today I chose the scarecrow mug and a few small images to go with him.
I colored everything with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it all out. Then I used a craft knife to cut a slit and slid the sunflower into the top of the mug. I used liquid glue to keep it in place and also added my acorn and leaves the same way.
I chose two patterns of paper from the Cozy Critter paper pad and cut them out with the largest Stitched Arch die. I trimmed the woodgrain down to about an inch and glued them together. Then I cut an Extra Large Sentiment Strip and heat embossed my sentiment on that.
Next, I tied twine around the top of the arch and held it in place with washi tape. I added the sentiment banner and images with foam squares and then carefully added foam strips to the back of my arch, avoiding the twine.
I didn’t like the white border so I inked my card base with crushed olive distress oxide ink and then popped the panel in place. I like how all of the color tones have that fabulous fall feel!
To finish things off I added stardust Stickles to the scarecrow cheeks and Touch of Gloss to the acorn top and sunflower center. A little sparkle and shine never hurts!
