Playing With Bubble Wrap

Since my post title gives away what I used on these bookmarks and note cards, I won't play a guessing game. 


Yes, it's bubble wrap, painted with craft paint and used like a rubber stamp.  Pretty cool and easy, although a tad messy.

Here are the finished bookmarks. I like the way they turned out. I will say, however, the "bubbly" background does compete a bit. I found using small images just didn't look right.


Below are the two cards. I ended up covering most of the bubble stamping. Maybe I should keep that in mind next time and not add so much paper, but they look pretty nice if I do say so myself.


So yet another way to play with bubble wrap besides popping it!  Have a nice day!

  6. well, we COULD POP IT FIRST... and see what kind of impression you get then! LOL!
    I like doing little things like this-- to use up paper, sometimes for a personalized birthday card or something.
    I will shuffle all the papers together after my grand daughter colors and make something with it... like a card for her Momma or Daddy on their birthday.
    it add interesting detail to a card!
