Stamplorations bundles – paper bundle ideas, vol. 3

Hello and happy Thursday! In my previous post a few days back, I told you about the owner of STAMPlorations, Shery Russ and how she is battling against breast cancer at the moment.

Due to the treatments she has had to reduce the selection at her store to bundles. I recommend you take a look at those bundles, because they are well worth the money. Also, every penny you spend will be used to support the Russ family thru the hard times they are going thru right now. So please kindly check out the STAMPlorations store page for selected product bundles.

For this card I again used the flower colorable from the Paper Goods Grab Bag at STAMPlorations. I colored the flower with Nuvo Brilliantly Vibrant Highly Pigmented Watercolour Pencils, added some Stabilo all black dots ot the background and a stamped STAMPlorations sentiment, too.

It´ s a very clean and simple style card, but I so adore the colorable flowers in this grab bag. They are so versatile to use!

I hope these cards inspire you to give this bundle a try and purchase your own. It will be for a very good cause that is very much needed at the moment! You can read more about Shery´ s journey on the blog here and find out other ways to help, if you are interested.

We all have hard times and those times are the ones that help – even ever so little – is much appreciated. So it you can, consider getting yourself one of the bundles from her store to support her family in these hard times.

Thank you,

DAP-journal – June 13th and 14th

Hello and happy Saturday! Today I am sharing a set of Daily Art Journal pages from my 2022 journal:

For this page I again used Distress Paints on the background, then fussy cut the bits from the actual Almanac page of that particular day and and drew a few more wonky “plants” to go with them. For stamping I again used a Klartext stamp.

For this page I adhered several leftover pieces from all previous almanac pages to the background. On top of those I added some gesso, then some Distress paint and used a STAMPlorations stencilwith Distress Paint again. the luggages are stamped onto the actual Almanac page of June 14th with a Klartext stamp and then fussy cut. The sentiment is also done with Klartext stamps.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Hope your weekend is going nicely!

Stamplorations bundles – paper bundle ideas, vol. 2

Hello and happy Thursday! In my previous post a few days back, I told you about the owner of STAMPlorations, Shery Russ and how she is battling against breast cancer at the moment.

Due to the treatments she has had to reduce the selection at her store to bundles. I recommend you take a look at those bundles, because they are well worth the money. Also, every penny you spend will be used to support the Russ family thru the hard times they are going thru right now. So please kindly check out the STAMPlorations store page for selected product bundles.

I created a few cards using one of those bundles. Here you see two cards made with the “Paper Goods” bundle and some of their stamps.

I hope these cards inspire you to give this bundle a try and purchase your own. It will be for a very good cause that is very much needed at the moment! You can read more about Shery´ s journey on the blog here and find out other ways to help, if you are interested.

For these cards I´ ve used the Paper bundle goodies to create the cards. For the first one I simply used the whole piece and stamped with STAMPlorations stamps on top. Then I added a paper flower and a brad on top and the card was done.

For the second card I combined two different paper sets from the bundle, added a stamped and fussy cut STAMPlorations sentiment, then tied a ribbon around everything and placed the second bundle piece on top.

We all have hard times and those times are the ones that help – even ever so little – is much appreciated. So it you can, consider getting yourself one of the bundles from her store to support her family in these hard times.

Christmas tree cards

Hello and happy Thursday! Today´ s cards are done using a Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut dies as a starting point.

I first die cut the tree with a tree die cut die and then used a rectangular stitched die to create the white focal point area. I matted the die cut tree area with a recycled Christmas present tag piece and adhered everything on a blue patterned paper and added the Klartext stamped sentiment.

For the second card I used the same dies and added a piece of shiny / holographic paper underneath. Then I added a scalloped frame and a Klartext stamped sentiment onto the card. The background paper is from the Vicki Boutin Warm Wishes collection. On top of the holographic paper I added some liquid pearls in red – you can see them better in the second photo :). It is quite hard to take a photo of this type of paper…

I am really enjoying recycling bits from last year (yes, I save lots of things for later…) and reusing them on new cards. I mean, why not?

This is all for today. See you again tomorrow!

Green, red and white Xmas card

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I am stopping by to share another Christmas card with you. This time I again reused/recycled a present tag into the card and combined that with some Canvas Corp papers from my stash.

It´ s a very simple card with the bold background paper and the bold green burlap piece. I just needed to add the present tag Santa on top and a half pearl to his hat and finish the card off with a Klartext stamp sentiment.

This card just makes me happy and smile when I see it. I hope the recipients with think the same :). I am sticking to simple cards this year :). Have you ever recycled bits of Christmas present tags/packaging/cards?

Wishing you a nice week!
Take care,
xxx, Sanna
