one set… two looks

The best stamp sets are those that are super flexible. Don’t you agree?

The kind of stamps that you can use over and over for many different looks. One of the reasons I love the new ZipnBy stamp set from Avocado Arts is because I can use it in so many ways. I especially love that hot air balloon. Do you notice that it was the same stamp I used on Saturday’s post as a globe? How cool is that?!

Besides being flexible to use for two very different images, this sweet hot air balloon works in a feminine shabby style and a clean and graphic masculine style design. Check it…

Pairing up the sweet balloon with pink papers, kraft cardstock and lots of goodies makes a pretty card design.

Supplies: ZipnBy stamp set by Avocado Arts, white & Kraft cardstock by Bazzill, patterned paper by Crate Paper, Jet Black Archival Ink by Ranger, White Pigment Ink by Clearsnap, Tiny Attacher by Advantus, Twine, Crystal Trinket Pin by Maya Road, White Doily Transparency by Maya Road, white flowers by Maya Road, Tim Holtz Tissue Tape

Here’s the clean and masculine version. I love grouping image together to form a collage of stamping. When you’re doing this, take into account positive and negative shapes to find a good arrangement of images. Avocado Art’s clear polymer stamps make it super easy to line them up and stamp just where you want them.
