Three dimensional art... with heart

Movember

EDIT: What a dork! I did the projects and wrote the post and totally forgot to add in the names and links to the other amazing designers on this blog hop! Here the list:

Apologies to all!


This has got to be a world record but here I am again! 


 I would not miss the chance to make a project using my good friend Jen Goode‘s new Moustache roller stamp for Clearsnap! (which is it- mustache or moustache?)

I met Jen at CHA about four years ago and was immediately struck with her sunny personality and ready laugh. She is one of my favorite people 🙂 She is very talented web-wise and helped me out a lot and never once laughed at me and my lack of skills. Just for that I love her. Jen is also an amazing artist. Head over to her blog where the fun begins.

 I must confess I wasn’t quite sure what this whole Movember thing was… here’s what Google said:

As an official global charity, Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of moustaches on men’s faces around the world. Through the power of the Mo, vital funds and awareness are raised to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges.

 
Thank you Google. 
 
I decided to use my roller stamp to decorate a mat of a picture of my husband Hayward with his step-dad Ray. By coincidence they wore the same thing one day!
 
You can use a precut mat- I cut my own because I have everything here and it is just easier. This is such a quick and easy project but you can easily customize photo mats to fit the subject or occasion. 
 
You will need:
  1. Coat a 8″ x 10″ piece of matboard with spray adhesive and place a dictionary page on top. 
  2. Cut a double window in the matboard OR buy a double mat in desired size for photo. 
  3. Ink up roller stamp in black and roll across the mat from top to bottom, keeping lines straight and evenly spaced. Re-ink as needed. Overstamp as desired.
  4. Ink edges with Platinum or Black Cat’s Eye.
  5. Insert picture in opening and tape in position.
  6. Die cut label from matboard and add your message or title. Tie or tape label to mat

    I love everything about this design, Eileen! The theme, the boys in the photo ;-), using the book pages. So many good ideas I might have to ‘borrow!’ I carved my own mustache rubber stamp a month ago and haven’t found anything good to use it for. Might even just post a cool little arty thing with my stamp and then reiterate the whole movember thing for FB post. Keep the ideas flowing…..we alllll benefit from your genius!
