The stupendous Stampendous gals are at it again this week...recycling,
repurposing, and reusing for the month of April! Nothing hits the "round file"
this month, and everything is fair game to be stamped, cut, encrusted, and
Frantaged!
Today it has become the Surf Shack! I think it's much cuter as a surf shack than it was as a, well, whatever it was! Here's my card:
This was so fun to create and so easy! Here are the details:
Products used:
Stampendous Cling Changito Surfer
Stampendous Golden Sand Embossing Powder
Bazzill
Neenah
Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
VersaMark Pad
Copic Markers
Tim Holtz Brad
Doodlebug Twine
Ultra Fine Flower Soft
Glossy Accents
Instructions:
1. Cut Bazzill base and fold in half
2. Cut Neenah paper to fit on Bazzill
3. Stamp Cling Changito Surfer and color (I used Copic Markers)
4. Color background (again using Copics)
5. Stamp three surf boards only, color and cut out, set aside
6. Cut metal into "shack" pieces (side and roof), adhere to image piece
7. Punch hole for brad, hand written sign with twine
8. Using VersaMark pad, add Stampendous embossing powder in Golden Sand
9. Attach surf boards with glue dots
10. Using Glossy Accents, adhere Ultra Fine Flower Soft in Sand
11. Attach hand written and layered sentiment
Easy peasy, right!? And, he's just so darn cute! I hope you like my project this week for the April Challenge. Be sure to check back next week for another trash to treasure project.

I have yet another metal item I salvaged from the "trailer of treasures." I'm all about recycling cool found items. What may look like junk to one person could become all sorts of things in my crafty claws! Here's the cool piece I'm using for this week. I have no idea what this was in its previous life!
