What stamps have you used other than what the image was meant for?
I had this wonderful idea to make a lemon stamp with the scratch and sniff technique - except that I don't own a lemon stamp! It had to be an SU set, and then I realized that one of images in Island Blossoms worked really well! It is the medium sized, 5 curvy petal solid stamp that has a puckery look to it. Stamped in yellow, it looks like the inside of a cut lemon. Stamped in green, it looks like the inside of a cut lime!
Share here! I would love to see all the creative ideas that came from thinking out of the box!!!

Okay, yall are gonna laugh at me. This is so ghetto. I wanted to do a card with looks like spring, but I wanted it to have a stem. I don't have any of the flower sets that have stems, so I used wonderful words. I used the love stamp, and just inked up the long part. I didn't use the letters, but just the part hanging off of the letters, and then I used the leaves from painted posies. It came out pretty good though.

My upline has a card from a while ago that used a vegetable set as a close up of a snowman's face. They used the olives for eyes, and of course the carrot for his nose. He was adorable.
I wish I could find the card, but someone used that half daisy from In Full Bloom as the bottom skirt of a ballerina dress. That is such a popular stamp set that there are thousands of cards in the gallery using those stamps, so if anyone can remember it maybe they can post it.
This is a great thread! I also hope to see other ideas!
I don't have one in my gallery but I have made a wedding dress out of the birdhouse and flower from the simply spring set. Here is a link to one in the gallery Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
Last year I made 4th of July cards with fireworks from the top of the palm tree from balmy breezes. Sorry I don't know how to ad a link but they are in my gallery

OMG! Yes yes! I see it! How pretty! I love the way the flower ruffles and flows. A birdhouse upside down, who would have thought?!?

Happy Heart and Sandy, those are so cute. The fairies wings are so pretty and fluttery, and the tutu is so pretty as well. Oh, I love all of these ideas!
