SOS256: let me take a selfie!

before you get too worried, NO, you don't have to use an actual photo of yourself to qualify for this week's challenge at shopping our stash, we actually want to see projects that feature a "faux polaroid" scene. here's what i made:

statue of liberty pic taken from a very old, outdated guidebook to new york; patterned paper: blue fern studios, amy tangerine; white kromekote card stock: the paper cut; eyelet outlet washi tape: cloud tape, nyc tape, road tape; felt thickers: american crafts; puffy heart sticker of unknown origin; ink: colorbox; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape

ok, so, what if you don't have any of the gazzillion stamps, papers, or embellies which feature a polaroid theme? don't panic, they're actually the easiest thing in the world to fake... just combine your elements into a square shape, then mount the square on a piece of white cardstock. trim three sides to an equal border, but make the bottom edge approximately twice as thick, et voila! you've made your first "faux po"! (but not... i predict... your last, 'cause these are fun!)

need more inspiration? i've made a few of these including last week's eyelet outlet "summer love" card, this cuuuuuute little deer, this (gah, pink!) monsta xmas card, and this pun-tastic anniversary. need some vaguely *sensible* ideas? the SOS dt have a whole bunch of gorgeousness to help you out! check it, asap, darlings! ♥
