"CONFETTI" GREETING CARDS


Em and I made these fun, and super easy to make confetti-inspired cards.

 
I carved out (with an exacto knife) tiny geometric shapes from a stamp carving block...but these work really great too.


For Em's "kid-friendly" stamps I cut out tiny shapes from a styrofoam take out container and used two-sided tape to adhere the shape onto a wooden peg.  Tape works great because you can easily peel off and tape on a completely different shape-- then you'll only need one wooden peg.



If I were to do it over again, I would use something thicker for Em's stamps...like fun foam to eliminate those rings around the image.  I'm okay with the imperfectness though, and had to work with what I had.  Still, I think they came out pretty cute...

Reminds me of this pretty soap:


I also came across an inspiring post with "confetti" images at my life as a magazine.  A blog I've been love, love, loving lately!
