It&#8217;s Bonnie here today with a tutorial for a project I absolutely loved creating. It combines five of the amazing cling mounted rubber stamp designs by Joggles\/Bloobel and one of the 3 x 5 inch Joggles accordion books. The quality of the watercolour paper in these 10 page books is sturdy and wonderful, perfect for mixed media play. Lisa Graham&#8217;s quirky stamps never fail to inspire me and when you combine the two&#8230;well, I was in a state of creative bliss \ud83d\ude42 I&#8217;m so excited to share it with you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joggles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSCN7305-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2451\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-U7kmdP6y\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2451 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joggles.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/DSCN7305-1.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN7305\" width=\"700\" height=\"690\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><b>Supplies Used: <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.joggles.com\/rubber-stamps-and-paper-art-supplies\/joggles-accordion-books\/joggles-accordion-book-3-inch-x-5-inch-10-panels.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Joggles Accordion Book \u2013 3\u201d x 5\u201d &#8211;
