Pin Buddy's,
from Impressions of Faith, are a new concept for making those
convention pins which are very popular.
Pin Buddy's are a two to three part stamp set. Two to three separate
images that come together to make one pin or card medalion.
Use mounting tape or dots to give the images a 3-D affect. It's
a great way to give a friend a "little something" to
wear or a card that you created.
Pin Buddies can be used for more than just pins! Here are
several examples, pins included, from Mary and Martha. |

It's A
Boy Card
Using Zana Clark's "Smoosh" Technique, apply several
colors of dye based inks, in shades of blue, on white glossy
cardstock. Spritz with water and allow to dry.
Stamp images using black ink & emboss in clear EP.
Using bleach, "take away" color from the stars and
Teddy's paws. Color in the bow tie with a blue marker.
Cut out the images; make several of the balls look like balloons. |
On white shrink
plastic, stamp the teddy bear with black Staz-On pad. Color with
Prismacolor Colored Pencils. Cut out and shrink.
Layer as shown, using copper fibers for balloon strings, and
a polished stone background to mount the images against. |
It's a
Girl CD Card
Stamp the teddy bear on white matte cardstock, embossing with
clear EP. Color with Prismacolor Colored Pencils and cut out.
Prepare a CD. Paint with Gesso, and sand. Repeat until you no
longer can see the writing underneath it. Next, select 2 or 3
pink re-inkers, and apply color randomly over the CD.
When dry, stamp the ball randomly using Brilliance Crismon ink.
Heat set to dry. Color the stars with a silver gel pen.
Prepare mini domino in a similiar way as the CD, stamping the
