STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration – DAY 5

2 Comments

Hello and welcome to the DAY 5 of STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration. Today I have a few more cards to share with you.

For the first card I used following NEW PRODUCT: Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Outs and Floral Magic Clear Stickers. The background paper is from my own stash.

I stared by wripping the floral background paper quite randomly and adhering it to the card base. That way I had some white space left to adhere the Floral Magic clear sticker to the white space underneath. I then fussy cut and adhered the Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Out on place and added some outlining with a black marker.

For the second card I used a dark green patterned paper as my background (own stash). And added some NEW STAMPlorations product to it: The Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs and the Nostalgic #1 clear stickers.

I first cut the dark green paper into size, then adhered it on place. After that I fussy cut and adhered the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Out as a centerpiece. I then adhered the Nostalgic #1 clear sticker onto white cardstock, then cut that into size and adhered it onto the card base. I then decorated the card with a few enamel elements (arrow and hearts) and added faux stitching around the edges with a white gel pen.

For the last card of the day I use following NEW PRODUCT: Old Letters Pocket Backdrops, Flowers and Coffee Focal Fronts, All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs and the All Things Coffee clear stickers.

For this card I just adhered the Old Letters Pocket Backdrops paper onto the card base, then added the Flowers and Coffee Focal Front element. After that I fussy cut the croissant from the All Things Coffee Ephemera sheet and adhered it next to the coffee cup. The clear sticker is adhered on white cardstock, then cut into size and adhered to the card. The only “old” product added to this card is the brown Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of the paper.

Here is a quick peek into Flowers + Coffee Focal Fronts:

STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration – DAY 4

2 Comments

Hello everyone! Welcome to DAY 4 of the STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration!! Today I´ve got two card projects to share with you.

The new product I used for the first card features: Abstract Notes stencil and Big Cupcakes Colorables. From the older product I combined the Sweet Cravings stamp sets sentiments.

I placed the stencil directly onto the card base, applied various tones of Distress Oxide inks thru the stencil pattern to create a bold background. Next I colored the cupcake with alcohol markers and adhered it onto the card base. Finally, I stamped the Sweet Cravings set´s sentiments directly onto the card with black ink.

For the second card I used following new product from the store: Henna Pattern stencil and the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs. The older product featured is again the Sweet Cravings stamp set.

I simply stenciled the Henna Pattern directly onto the card base by moving it around and creating a full surface random pattern. Next I fussy cut the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs and adhered the into a cluster onto the card. For finishing touches I added some stamping with Sweet Cravings stamp set and some black ink splatters. I also outlined the card base with a black pen (faux stitching).

Here is a quick peek into Big Cupcakes and Big Birthday Cakes Colorables:

Hello and welcome to DAY 3 of the STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration!!

For this project I used following NEW PRODUCT: the Modern Envelopes stencil and the All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs and the Old Letter Pocket Backdrops. To those I combined the Feathery stamp set sentiment.

I started by placing the Modern Envelopes stencil onto the Old Letter Pocket Backdrop paper and stenciling with brown Distress Oxide Ink thru it. Next I fussy cut the All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Out image and adhered it to the background. In addition, I stamped a sentiment with the Feathery stamp set and brown ink and adhered it to the card. After that I took a white card base, inked the corners all around with brown ink and then adhered the paper on place.

Here is a quick peek into the new Old Letter Pocket Backdrop papers:

Tinted texture paste mixed media card – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I am up with a Rubber Dance project share today. I used following products: Rainbows 2 stencil, Mix It Up 5 and Pencil Marks 8 stamp sets.

Like on my art journal page (see details here) I used the tinted paste residues from that project for this card background. I placed the Rainbows 2 stencil onto a piece of white paper and wiped the tinted pastes thru it onto the paper very randomly. I then let the pastes dry and added some stamping with the Pencil Marks 8 stamp and a grey stamp ink.

On top of the paste I stamped with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the text stamp with brown ink. It adds an interesting detail to the stenciled surface. I finished the card off with a sticker sentiment and stamped flower and leaf images from the Pencil Marks 8 stamp set. I stamped onto a piece of music paper here too, to add more interest to the images.

This is a great way to use up any leftover pastes and to create interesting looking starting points for cards. I hope you like the idea and grab some pastes to make fun card backgrounds of your own.

Have fun crafting,
xxx, Sanna

Wish you the best – STAMPlorations May challenge reminder

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I am stopping by to remind you of the current STAMPlorations May challenge. It is still possible to join in on the fun and submit your creations!!

Just go HERE and play along!!

I used a gelli printed collage paper (made with Onions in Raws stencil and a gel plate) to stamp the FEATHERY stamp images onto it with black ink.

For a strong contrast I used a dark blue cardstock to adhere the fussy cut feathers on. A simple stamped sentiment (from the same stamp set) added on white paper with some enamel hearts finishes the card off.

I like the clean and simple look of this card. Now is your turn. Make sure to follow the rules (read here) and submit your take latest 30th of May to be eligible for prizes. Also, don´t forget to have fun creating!!!

Hello everyone! Today is the day – we have a blog hop and linky party prepared for you at STAMPlorations!! Are you ready??

This is my take on a spring theme! I used the Onions in Raws stencil with a gelli plate to create a gelli printed collage paper background for my card. On top I added a ATC paper goods piece from the set called Color Me Spring ATC. I also added a few paper flowers to top and bottom of the ATC piece to create more texture. Some half pearls and the card was done. I didn´t add a sentiment this time.

Leave a comment

Hello everyone & Happy 6th of May!!! This means it´s again time to share the STAMPlorations “Anything Goes” May challenge with you. The challenge starts today and goes until May 31st.

This is my take for the challenge reveal. A slimline card in pop art style. I used the Pop Art Faces paper goods from STAMPlorations as a focal point and added some Ephemeral Edges collage paper bits to the top and the bottom of the card.

Next I added some stamped words using the Hello You stamp set – also by STAMPlorations.  

I hope I could inspire you to create some cards with the cool STAMPlorations paper goods and stamps. Also hoping to see you join the May challenge on their blog. Remember, to be eligible for prizes, you need to play by the rules (read them here).

“True Love” card – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I´m here today with a really quick and easy card idea. I have quite a few gelli printed collage papers waiting to be used and here is one idea how to put those papers to good use. I used the Mix It Up 4 and Mix It Up 5 stamp sets as well as the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set on this card.

I started by pulling a bold colored gelli print from my collage paper pile – created with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set, acrylic paints and a gel plate. I drew some hearts onto that paper with a black gel pen, then fussy cut those hearts and took a white card base out. I then stamped with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and a grey stamp ink onto the card base to create a background pattern.

Next I added some golden ink splatters and drew some pink circles with a Posca pen here and there. After that I arranged the hearts into a cluster and finished the card off with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set sentiment.

Some times the collage papers turn out really bold in color and might be hard to use as is. By adding just tiny bits of them onto a calmer base the colors don´t overwhelm.

Here is a video on how I made gelli printed collage papers:

Hope you get inspired to play!!! Happy crafting,

STAMPlorations April challenge reminder – there is still time to join!

Leave a comment

Hi there! This is a quick reminder that the STAMPlorations April “Anything Goes” challenge is still live and you still have time to join in the fun!!!

Here is an inspirational card share to get your creative ideas going:

I used the Ephemeral Edges collage paper as my card background and then created a cluster of embellishments into the middle as a focal point. For that I used the STAMPlorations New Day clear stickers, some more Ephemeral Edges collage paper and green burlap, stickers, paper flowers and chipboard embellishments as well as some half pearls in different sizes. I also drew some faux stitching around the edges with a black pen.

The Ephemeral Edges paper is really great – it works as card backgrounds, for ATCs, in journals and tags. I just love this design!

Just in case you want to order some paper goods, here is a discount code for you to use:

Now it is your turn – remember to follow the quidelines and rules and you can win some cool prizes!!

Have fun!
