EDITED TO ADD: I used rubber that already had cling mount attached, so the shape is stuck to the acrylic mount permanently.
A few little thingies I created after gazing at patriotic blogs over the weekend. I made the ATC as part of a set that I am going to incorporate into Birthday calendars for my family for Christmas. The tag is for today's Theme Thursday challenge, which was to make, well, a tag! (Or incorporate one into your artwork :)
I am always looking for ways to use the rubber I have left over from rubber stamp sheets and sets. I decided to try a few rustic stars (I say "rustic" because these things I make myself are NEVER perfect. So they're "shabby chic" LOL!) I just used an ancient template I had, traced out a medium and large star, and adhered on either side of a 50-cent acrylic block.
I stamped the stars in blue and red inks on the base of a tag, and embellished from there.The "real" stamps are from Prairie Rubber Stamps, Stampabilities, Hero Arts, and JustRite.
Have a great day!

nice theme and what a good idea to use the left over rubber to make stamps. creative thinking!
I have a bagful of left over rubber.
This is a great idea. What did you use to adhere to the acrylic?
Hi Paula!
I used rubber that already had the cling mount on it, and so stuck it right on to the acrylic (so it's on there permanently). Thanks for stopping by!
