Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

Stamped and colored inspirational quote clipboard

by

I love clipboards as an organizational tool. I think I started using them when I worked on set as it made taking notes and keeping track of scripts easy. I currently like them for use when I’m coloring on the couch and then displaying the colored page.  I thought I’d dress up this plain one with some cool rubber stamped quotes by Crafter’s Companion Sheena’s Smile and Live sets along with some pretty deer.

This clipboard makes a perfect surface for stamping and coloring.

I started in the bottom left corner with the deer stamp that comes with Inspiration Magazine Issue 6.

Then I stamped all the great quotes, some horizontal and some on the side.

Once I had it all filled in I added colored shadows with the ColourBlend pencils by Spectrum Noir to the letters and colored in the deer.

For a final touch I added a bow with three bits of ribbon and lace.

This clipboard will look great when I am not using it and then I can grab it and use it for all sorts of projects.
