It's the little things...

Sometimes something small can turn out to be pretty big ... take this little stamp, for example. It's a single stamp called Share A Cup (available from the Autumn/Winter Mini, for the bargain price of $11.95).

By itself, it's just a little spotty cup with the word "hello" underneath. With a little creative masking, inking and the use of a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig it becomes this.

I can take no credit for the idea - it was demonstrated at the recent Stampin' Up! convention in Sydney, and I can only assume the sales of this stamp went through the roof as soon as everyone got home (well, that's when I bought it LOL).

As you can see, I've also used my favourite embossing folder, Perfect Polka Dots - this is going to turn up on everything for the foreseeable future, I think *g*.
