I always like taking stamps and products 'outside the box', so here is a fun jewelry project I made using the leaf die sets!
I cut the maple shapes from a piece of cardstock that protects my work surface from extra ink and paint, then cut 3 more layers for each piece from watercolor paper and glued all the layers together with Tacky Glue. After trimming the stems and punching a hole for the ring, I coated each piece front and back with Crystal Lacquer.
I got the idea for this project from THIS VIDEO -- the dies sure made the shaping a breeze!
