Hambo Stamps - an uplifting post.

This month I'm excited to be doing a couple guest posts for Hambo Stamps! Their stamps range from cute to incredibly punny, the creative genius of Tim and Monica Hunter.

I chose this elevator digi set to work with first - because it cracked me up. My Dad's family members are all hopeless punsters, and it passed on to my brother and me as well. So the elevator set, with its sentiments, "Feeling down?" and "Thought you could use a lift!" really hit the right button with me. (ba-dum-pum.)
Coming up (*groan*), some of the steps I took (sorry, I can't help it).......... I printed the elevator image several times on patterned paper and pieced the scene together, then die cut all the layers at once. I added height (sorry) with foam tape, and also by embossing and scoring. There is Crystal Laquer on the dial and the buttons. I carried a couple of elevator themes to the card front too - the 2 buttons.... and the music!
The inside sentiment was cut out with a Spellbinders tag die, which also holds open the easel card (oh man, that one was unintentional!).

Thanks for visiting today! (and forgive me for sinking to this level......oh, there I go again!)

Thanks so much for stopping by!
