One of the stamp sets I had the pleasure of working with for this issue was Hello Friend by Avocado Arts. Shortly after I got the exciting news that I was going to be on the cover of this issue, I was asked to join the Avocado Arts design team. I was ecstatic...still am! My card today once again features the lamp used on the cover card.
This time I used only the base of the lamp to create the balusters for the railing. The tiny orange hearts are from the lamp's on-off chain. No coloured cardstock was used in the making of this card. All I did was take my ink pad and drag it across white cardstock to create the top rail and base of the banister as well as the rust colour on which I stamped the bird and trimmed a border to separate the image from the sentiment. I love that this technique gives the paper a textured look. I hope you've enjoyed this out-of-the-box approach to using the lamp and just how versatile this stamp set can be!

Very cute card! Thanks for sharing.
Such a clever use of the lamp stamp--so creative, Emily! And that bird is cutie, too!
Nice way of thinking out of the box! Cute card. I too struggle with masculine cards... I don't like using dark papers all the time. I loved your boy/masculine card!
never thought that lamp stamp can be turn like this amazing fence. Clever of you, Emily
Never thought that a lamp she can be turned into a fence. Thank you for the inspiration.
I would love to have your brain! How do you think of such amazing stamping ideas?!?
I am blown away. If you had not said the banister was made from the lamp base, I would have never guessed it!
Great idea - I never would have thought of using the lamp that way. I love ideas that use stamps in multiple ways.
The bird on the railing is SWEET! What great thoughts of using the lamp outside the box!!!!!
Definitely creative! I *cannot* believe that the balusters are the same lamp as on the cover. GENIUS!! :)
I just love this Emily!! Amazing how you used that lamp stamp!!

I love it when people create "outside the box" and come up with new ways to use things. Great card, it was very "en-lightening" :)
Great idea with the bannister! It reminds me to look at all my stamp sets from different angles to see what else can be created.
Now that's thinking outside the box- love it!
What a cute little birdie! Love this clean card! Thanks for sharing.
