You know you've been stamping for awhile when your children choose their school project topics based on the stamps they know you have at home! My son had to choose any insect, make a model with labeled body parts, and create a poster full of information about that insect. He knew I had the beautiful Stampin' Up! Swallowtail Butterfly stamp, so that was the insect he chose. We embossed two butterflies with black emboss powder and colored them with ink refills. Then he cut them out, created legs using cut up paper clips, and then layered the two butterflies together (so the underside of the wings are the same as the top side). He cut out his little labels and attached them with mini silver brads. Check it out!

ReplyDeleteLove the idea!!!
So funny...Hannah chose a butterfly and used the Swallowtail, too! She stamped on window sheets with stazon then colored it from the bottom with nail polish. She used fimo clay for the body. LOVE the way our kids think!
