Yankees magnet and acrylic block tip!

I made a magnet for my husbands locker at work.  Mind you he works in Massachusetts...you know...Red Sox Nation!  Needless to say he's outnumbered there but he loves to torture them!  LOL!!  This is an old stamp set from Autumn Leaves and the ROCKS are letters from another license plate set and don't remember who made it!  I'm bad but it's old too!

Here is the back, I added some chipboard for support.  Stamp by Verve.

Ok so here's my tip.  I was looking for my really large acrylic block and can't find it...I rarely use it.  I was going bonkers looking when it finally hit me...I could use the embossing plate from my Cuttlebug!!  Duh!  Well it worked great!  And definitely large enough.  So don't waste $ on a large block just find something else to use  :)

I am entering this in Tammy's Scrapin Corners challenge this week which is #14 For the Boys.  And linking to The Sunday Showcase Party #106 and Made By You Monday.

Thumb "heart" magnet

I can post some of my Valentine's now because I didn't want the recipients to see their treats!  I would have done it sooner but I forgot!  Nothing unusual in my world!  LOL!  Her is a magnet I made for my wonderful husband's locker at work.  I used Sculptey oven bake clay for the base.  I covered my thumb with ColorBox Chianti red pigment ink then pressed it in the clay twice to make a heart shape then stamped the Verve sentiment with ColorBox black pigment ink.  After I baked it I inked the edges with the black pigment ink...big mistake...I used the heat gun to try to set it but it just wasn't working.  What I should have done is dip the edges in EP then heat set.  That probably would have worked.  I just ended up wiping off the extra ink from the edges and it was ok.  Still has the effect just not as dark as I wanted.  I super glued a round strong magnet to the back with a little message written on the back  :) 

Well that's it for tonight I'll try to get the others posted soon!   Thanks for stopping by!
