Thyme after Thyme

Thyme after Thyme, we search the internet for card ideas and craft projects with that touch of thoughtfulness and cuteness. 

Great News!! "You Herb it here first" .... we are sharing some new and exciting projects from our Herbs rubber stamp set.

There are so many exciting ways to use this stamp for your next project. From graduation gifts to teacher gifts, the ways you can use the art in our Herbs rubber stamp set are endless.

Let’s Get Inky!

 Check out our new Herbs rubber stamp set and see the endless possibilities with this stamp set.

Like the other stamps in our shop, it is clear to give you maximum room for creativity to flow.

Using the words in our herbs rubber stamp set “Bloom Where You Are Planted”, we set the stage for some cute art with Rosie in her herb pot, we make a pocket card and then added Basil seeds and a cute decorative ribbon to tie it all together.


The above project can also be used for a teacher’s gift or thinking of you gift to inspire a love of gardening and kindness.

Speaking of gifts, look at this cutie that we put together as an adorable plant gift set.


 

With twine, a plain pot to decorate, an easily taken care of houseplant, 2 plastic knives, and a few decorations from our herbs stamp set and this project is ready to rock!

Let’s take a closer look at our decorative pieces in our DIY plant gift.


 

For this artwork, we used a laminator because of its proximity to water. Laminating our artwork ensures it won’t be ruin with frequent plant waterings, extending the longevity of the gift.

Once craft twine is rolled around each of the two plastic knives, the image can be hot-glued on the top of the twine next.




The twine covers up the plastic, giving our plant a rustic home-grown look.

We used watercolors to color Rosie and her planter, keeping the colors natural to blend in with the plant. We added a pop of color to the flower with some pink, then colored in Rosie’s ears and cheeks to match.

Above, we used the words from our herbs stamp set, “Bloom Where You Are Planted”, which can have various meanings for the receiver.

For the final touch, we tied a twine bow around the base of the pot to match the twine on the plant picks.



Our crafty plant paired with our herbs stamp set makes the perfect thoughtful gift!

Carrying on with the theme “Bloom Where You Are Planted”, a card sleeve with those words is next in our Herb Rubber Stamp set series.


“You Herb it Here First” cards .... The wording can be used to make an announcement, such as your new address, baby announcement, or engagement announcement. We truly believe the possibilities of this phrase and projects are endless ... and cute!


As we did in our previous post, we decided to stamp the simple yet lovely flowers for the background of our card.  Then, under our main image, we placed a larger yellow cardstock paper circle. Adding layers of color adds dimension to your project! 

In this version of the card we added foam squares to the pot part of the image to make it 
appear 3D.

Last but not least in our Herbs rubber stamp series is….a lollipop holder! If you’re looking for new creative ways to give our treats for a birthday party or any special occasion, this is a must-try! 

Personalize a ready cute gift even more with our Herbs rubber stamp set. For this project, we got a little creative with the words on the stick, and we used “Love Ya” from our Cicada rubber stamp set. We used blue denim-ish cardstock and glued some doily lace and gems to adorn this delicate little project.

We hope you are inspired and see how verstile this set is from cards to projects! Especially for Spring!
It’s always a good day to get Inky with InkyStamper!
