Cards with STAMPlorations Found Fragments stamps

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today´s share is a set of cards created with new STAMPlorations stamps called Found Fragments. This designer series consists of Found Fragments #1, #2, #3 and Makers Mark #1.

This is the first of the two cards I created:

I started this card by using the Found Fragments #1 and #2 next to each other and inking them in yellow and pink tones and then stamping the image straight to the card base.

After that I took some chipboard stickers from my stash and decorated the stamped pattern with the vintage-looking elements. After that I used a Nostalgic #1 clear sticker sentiment next to the chipboard embellishments as a sentiment. Finally, I stamped a sentiment using the Noteworthy stamp set and black ink. For finishing touches I added a couple golden pigment splatters here and there and outlined the card with faux stitching.

This is the second card I created using the Found Fragments #3 stamp:

Here I used the Found Fragments #3 stamp with blue Distress Oxide Ink as a background element next to the chpboard tag and the paper flower.

I used the same Noteworthy stamp set to stamp the black sentiment to the card. Also the clear sticker is from the same Nostalgic #1 clear sticker set that I also used for the previous card. This time I decorated the card with a blue paper flower and a glitter brad. And for the splatters I´ve used golden pigments again. For the ouline I hand drew a “faux stitching” but used tiny hearts between the lines to create additional cuteness.

These new stamp sets work so well as backgrounds details on cards. Just stamp with various colors and then go from there by adding tiny elements and you have created fun cards in no time. Have fun playing!!

Slimline 18th birthday card idea

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today´s share is another slimline 18th birthday card for a boy.

I used a Close to my Heart number stamp set for the background. I arranged the 1 and the 8 next to each other and stamped the white slimline card background with the numbers. I used Distress Oxide inks in light blue and grey hues repeatedly on the surface.

Now that the background was done I only wante dto add a few colorful details to the card. I chose some stickers from my stash. I first adhered the stickers (American Crafts and Sassafrass) onto a piece of carstock and then fussy cut them. This way I could adhere them to the base using 3D-foam. That added some depth and interest to the card. I also used some puffy stickers (stars) here and there and also added some Gloss Spray in lime and dark blue for splatters.

Hope the recipient likes his card – I sure had fun making it!

STAMPcuts – Retro Christmas – STAMPlorations card ideas

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m stopping by to share another new product release at STAMPlorations called STAMPcuts. There are two sets of retro-styled words currently in this collection. One is Retro Christmas and the other one is Retro Gratitude.

For these three cards I´ve used the Retro Christmas STAMPcuts set. On the above card I first adhered a patterned paper as a background to the white card base and then adhered the pine cone image (ephemera piece from the Perfect Pairs Serene Winter set) as a focal point. Next I adhered the word Joy from the Retro Christmas set next to the previous image and then took some Christmas themed tiny text stickers out and added one to the card.

For the next two cards I again used a patterned paper as a background, but I also inked the edged with Distress Oxide Ink in Ground Espresso to add some depth to the backgrounds. Next I used some Victorian Scraps with the Retro Christmas words as a focal point and again added some tiny text Christmas themed word stickers to the cards. I also added some outlining to each card with a brown pen for additional detail.

I really like how these cards turned out and they were so very easy to make, too. Just some patterned paper as a background and the STAMPcuts as focal point with just a few additional embellishments. I also love the retro look of the words!

Hope I could inspire you to make some Christmas cards today!

60th birthday card idea with a playing card

Leave a comment

Hello there! Today I´m sharing a birthday card idea in a square format for a 60th birthday.

The card was supposed not to be all flowers, pink and cute for this recipient, so I went into a totally different direction with this one. The format is a square for a change and the colors and hues of blues.

I chose a playing card as my focal point for this card with the hidden meaning of a “birthday queen”. I framed the playing card with a chipboard sticker frame that fit the card size perfectly. I also inked it with light blue and brown Distress Oxide inks to add some patina to the frame.

I had some round glitter dot stickers in my stash, so I added a few to the frame. A while ago I had played with a misted tissue paper and heat embossed stamp images. I took the leaf images and added them as a cluster to the left bottom corner of the frame. On top some clear sticker words from Studio Forty to add to the theme and a chipboard 6 and 0 very prominent on the bottom corner for finish off the card.

I hope the “birthday queen” is happy with her special card!!

Birthday card for 18th birthday

Leave a comment

Hello there! Today´s share is a slimline birthday card for a boy´s 18th birthday. I´ve mainly used rubber stamps by Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous on this card (set called “At the Movies”).

I used Hero Arts shadow ink pads in various tones of brown and the “At the Movies” stamp set for the background. Next I stamped the numbers 1 and 8 with blue Hero Arts shadow ink onto kraft cardstock and fussy cut the numbers. The stamp set is by Close to my Heart and from my older stash.

For additional decor I added a sticker speaking bubble that says “make memories” and fussy cut some blue and white toned stars from a Canvas Corp. paper. Everything is very “vintege-y” and not too cute.

I hope the recipient likes his card!!

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! STAMPlorations has some new stamps out and they are just the type of things I like to use!! This time I´m featuring the Found Fragments and Maker´s Mark stamps on this post.

I created a clean and simple style card and a matching envelope to go with it. Here they are:

I started of with the envelope and stamped with grey, yellow and light blue Distress Oxide Inks and Found Fragments #1, FF #2 and FF#3 around the white envelope.

Next I took a dark brown Distress Oxide Ink and stamped sentiments/words here and there on the envelope with Maker´s Mark #1 stamp.

For additional decor I used one of the Perfect Pairs “Blooms & Sunshine” ephemera pieces as a focal point on the card.

Adhered on place with a piece of 3D-foam and a felt bow added for a touch of decor.

I love these stamps! They are great for Artist Trading Cards, Journals, backgrounds, wall arts, ribbon decor and so much more! Annnnd, I cannot decide which one I love the best :-). They are all great! And also did you see the Maker´s Mark stamp “made with love using STAMPlorations products”? Isn´t that just fabulous!!!

Happy creating and maybe also happy shopping ;-).

60th birthday slimline card

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m stopping by to share another birthday card with you. This time for a 60th birthday celebration.

I used different little paper strips on the slimline card base. Adhered those on place and then added some thread in yellow and orange.

After that I die cut plenty of butterflies from a misted piece of paper. I misted it orange first. After die cutting, I arranged the butterflies to fly along the threads (this way the thread stays on place). Next I added some tiny paper flowers and half pearls. I also decorated the butterflies with half pearls for more interest and texture. Next I added some golden pigment splatters here and there.

For finishing touches I stamped happy birthday wishes in german (by Rubber Dance) and adhered “60” in blue Thickers to the card.

I hope the recipient likes her card – fingers crossed!

Perfect Pairs Blooms & Sunshine cards – STAMPlorations

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! This time I am stopping by to share a few more cards created with the Perfect Prairs Blooms and Sunshine stamp and ephemera set by STAMPlorations.

For this card I´ve used the Old Letter Pocket Backdrops paper as my starting point. After that I used yellow and pink Distress Oxide inks to stamp the ink splatter images with the Blooms & Sunshine stamp set onto the paper. I then added paper flowers in similar colors in clusters and adhered half pearls into the middle of each flower. For a centerpiece I stamped the stamp sentiment on pink paper and adhered it on place.

For the second card I first inked the white card base with old paper Distress Oxide Ink tone, then placed the Modern Envelops stencil onto the background and wiped some green ink thru it.

Next I chose a focal image from the ephemera that comes in the set and adhered it with 3D-foam onto the card base. In addition I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock and inked the edges to match the look of the focal image. I also added some black outlining around the card to repeat the black lines also on the card edges.

I had so much fun making these cards! It´s so easy and fun to create with this set. There is plenty of ephemera in the set to choose from and you can create so many different cards with just using the set as is or adding bits and bobs to it from your stash.

Have fun creating,

Perfect Pairs Serene Winter cards – STAMPlorations

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I´m again stopping by to share some more STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs Serere Winter card projets with you.

For this card I´ve used some blue patterned paper and a blue inked area directly on the card background. Onto it I stamped with dark brown ink and the “Winter” definiton stamp to add more pattern to the background. The ice skates emphemera piece is adhered on place with a piece of 3D-foam for depth and interest. The sentiment underneath is just a part of the winter wishes sentiment and inked with blue stamp ink. For decor I added some half pearls .

For the second card I used the same blue patterned paper, but added a die cut pattern with the Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate to it.

On top of that I added the bird on a branch emhemera piece and a Winter Wishes stamped sentiment (stamped with blue ink) – cut into two separete pieces. I then simply decorated the card with some half pearls.

I love how clean and simple these cards are. They are easy to make and with the stamps and ephemera you have all the necessary elements to create beautiful cards. Just add paper and/or ink and you are good to go.

I hope I could inspire you to create with Perfect Pairs!!

80th birthday card idea

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Today I am stopping by to share a slimline card for an 80th birthday celebration.

This cards was supposed to be in red, orange, green and brown tones. Therefore I started with a kraft cardstock on the back to add a light brown touch. I also used a slimline card base, because it looks more festive in my opinion.

I chose green, brown, red and orange toned paper and die cut the flowers with a retired Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut die. After that I stamped some leaf branches onto the kraft cardstock, applied embossing ink in gold on top and heat embossed the images. The stamp is by Rubber Dance. After that I added some embossing enamel to the background (chunky metallic seasonings) and heat set it. I also added some golden pigment splatters here and there, inked the edges of the kraft cardstock with green adn brown Distress Oxide inks.

Before adhering the die cut flowers on place, I placed some yellow and orange sewing thread onto the card and then adhered the flowers on top. The flowers keep the thread from moving and the thread adds interest to the card.

I decorated the flowers with buttons (adhered with glue dots) and added some paper leaves to go with everything. I finished the card off with green sticker numbers and the stamped “all the best” sentiment (by Rubber Dance).

I hope the recipient likes the card and that it makes her smile.
