Bash Your Stash; (Animals) Stamps

This whole "Bash Your Stash" is a lot harder than you think! I opened the next drawer of stamps for this series & it's animals. I removed all the stamps from this drawer and separated them by animal type (birds, cats, dogs, farm, zoo, etc.).

Once I did that, I pulled out the stamps that I felt I will not use and moved them into a donate pile. During this process, I realized that I have a lot of dog stamps! My first instinct is to keep them all, but if you are looking for a particular dog breed stamp, leave me a comment. I'd love to gift one or more.

Now, I need to use the stamps that remain in the drawer and make a final decision to keep or donate. Here are some photos of a few projects I've made.

I love punny stamps!

I have a whole set of these birds...

All four were made from the same masterboard.

I filmed the process of making the masterboard for the zoo animal cards and then each card. I love how they turned out! Check out the video on my YouTube channel:

Things to note:

• My big jar of Modge Podge was almost empty so I pour the small amount in the travel size bottle.
• All the extra ink, paint, etc., gets placed on random paper scraps that I use for my Junk Journal and other projects.
• My water jar is a souvenir shot glass when my friend visited Puerto Rico. It's the perfect size for these little projects.
• Dry each layer before adding more medium. 
• I also ironed the completed piece to flatten it. I used parchment paper to protect the iron & paper.
