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!!

STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Serene Winter

1 Comment

Hello everyone! I´m back with another new STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs set called Serene Winter. I really love these Perfect Pairs sets!! They are so much fun to create with.

For these cards I´ve just used 3D-foam adhesive, inks and the Perfect Pairs set.

For the above card I started off by inking the “Winter” stamp with fossilized amber, spiced marmalade and ground espresso Distress Oxide inks. I started with the lightest ink on top and ended with the darkest.

I created a repeated “stripe” down the middle of the white card base as background for the ephemera piece that I adhered with a 3D-foam piece.

Next I took a orange spray ink, misted a piece of paper and stamped the sentiment with dark brown ink on it. After that I fussy cut the piece to size (and only used the winter wishes part of it) & adhered it onto the card. Very easy and fun!

For the second card I started off by stamping the “Winter” sentiment with hickory smoke Distresss Oxide ink 4 times onto the white card base, but always tilting the stamp image 90 degrees for the next stamp image. That way I had created a fun background image with just one stamp. After that I added ink splatters all around the card base.

Next I adhered the emphemera image with 3D-foam on top of the stamped images and finished the card off with dark brown “winter wishes” stamped sentiment.

I had really a great time creating these cards. The set works so well together and is fun to play with. I hope you get inspired by these cards. Be sure to check out the STAMPlorations blog for more inspiration!!

Happy crafting,

STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs – Blooms & Sunshine

1 Comment

Hello! I´m here today to share a new STAMPlorations product release with you. The sets are called Perfect Pairs – containing of a stamp set of 2 and an emphemera cuts set that go together as pair. You buy this set and it´s all you need to create lovely cards in no time!

I´ve created these two cards using the set called Blooms & Sunshine. The set consists of a lovely arrangement of flower ephemera and a stamp set that matches the flower theme perfectly. For these two cards I´ve used only the set and some inks. That way you can see how easy it is to create cute cards with just a few materials.

For the above card I did the following steps:

I first brushed a circle with fossilized amber Distress Oxide ink onto the white card base, then took a spiced marmalade Distress Oxide ink and stamped the splatters with it.

Next I adhered the flower on top using 3D-foam pads and stamped the sentiment underneath using the same orange ink tone, like on the splatters. The card was done in no time! You need very little time and very little supplies with this set! And still can create lovely handmade cards with them.

For the second card I first inked the white card base edges using old paper Distress Oxide ink.

Then I used the ground espresso Distress Oxide Ink for stamping the sentiment and the splatters. After that I adhered the ephemera piece on place and the card was done.

How do you like the Blooms & Sunshine set so far? If you are looking for more inspiration, be sure to check the STAMPlorations blog out for more ideas.
