Hello everyone and happy Sunday! Here is another project I created using the new STAMPlorations collage papers – playing with Ephemeral Edges.
This time I created a set of Artist Trading Cards. I started by wiping some gesso and gel medium onto each of the bases. Let that layer dry and sprayed green spray ink on top. The areas treated with the medium made a little resist effect. On top I stamped with Distress Oxide Inks and Art Marks 3 stamp set.
Next I layered a strip of the collage paper into the middle of each card. On top some white gel paint details. Then I stamped with the Bloom Doodles stamp set onto the pink and purple areas of the collage paper to create the flowers. The leaves are done the same way, just on green paper areas. I fussy cut the elements and added some golden pigment to the flowers and a half pearl. For finishing touches I used some clear stickers (New Day) for sentiments.
I love the versatility of these papers. You can use them for whatever projects you prefer. Cards, tags, journals, altered art, pockets, scrapbooking, making DIY embellishments etc.
There are 9 different designs of these papers available at the STAMPlorations store. And they are now also on offer as sets or bundles. But you can also buy them as single packs, starting from March 15th. Check out the store and blog for more details.
Happy crafting,

Hello and happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing a mixed media tag that I created with the new STAMPlorations ephemeral edges collage papers.
I´ve used a manila tag as my starting point with some added spray inks on the bottom part. On top I added stamping with STAMPlorations Art Marks 3 clear stamp set and Distresss Oxide Inks. On top I added a strip of Ephemeral Edges paper, some Gloss Spray splatters and embellishments. The sentiment is from the STAMPlorations clear sticker set called “New Day”.
I love making this kind of mixed media tags! And the new collage papers are a perfect match for this kind of projects. Ephemeral Edges is one of the 9 stunning packs included in The Artistic Crafter’s Collage Papers Anthology, vol. 1.
The entire collection is available for pre-order at a huge 45% off now through March 4th. Secure your set today to ensure you’re the first to start your next creative adventure when they ship!
Make sure to get your order in :).

Hello! Here is another Pop Art Unicorns STAMPlorations paper pack project share.
This is the set I worked with:
The first one is a quick and easy to make minibook. Binded with a Cinch and the cover is from the unicorn paper pack. They are thick cardstock, so they work great as book covers too. I´ve added some Stickles for sparkle and foam alphas for a fun sentiment. The binding is decorated with colorful ribbons to add a fun detail to the minibook.
For the above card I´ve used the “Clustered Hearts” die cut die. I´ve saved the smaller hearts and adhered those to the right upper corner of the card. The sentiments is from a clear sticker set called “Shine Bright”. I outlined the hearts to lift them from the background. Also the unicorn has some Stickle details here and there for sparkle.
For the last card I´ve also used a clear sticker on a pink cardstock piece as part of the sentiment. The word die cut die I´ve used is called “Smile“. I outlined the word with a black pen to lift it more from the background. Additionally I adhered a few rhinestone arrows for sparkle.

Hello and happy Monday! STAMPlorations has a new set of card front sets released on their website. They are premade thick cardstock (325 gram paper) fronts with gorgous designs and colors that can be used for various kinds of projects as is or as a starting point.
I was lucky to be able to play with the Pop Art Unicorn set and here is what I made so far:
Two colorful and bright cards with some die cutting and stenciling added to them!
For the first card I used the STAMPlorations “Flair” stencil with TCW Fuchsia stencil butter and the STAMPlorations “xoxo” die cut die. I also added a STAMPlorations “New Day” clear sticker and some Gansai Tambi golden pigment droplets. The die cut sentiment is layered in 4 layers to make it stand out more from the card base.
For the second card set I chose the STAMPlorations “Discs” stencil with the Fuchsia TCW stencil butter and the STAMPlorations “Hang in there” die cut die. Otherwise I used the same products, like on the first card (the stencils not linked here yet, as not available at the store at the moment).
Here is also a quick flip-thru video of the Pop Art Unicorn paper pack:

Hello everyone! I´ve got some exciting news to share today! After a break of 3,5 years due to Shery´s breast cancer journey, she is now again opening up the STAMPlorations store. And to celebrate that, here are some discounts for you until December 31st 2025:
These are some awesome discounts!!! Check out the store and get yours before she sells out :).
I have been playing with her paper goods abit and using the ephemera for some Christmas cards. Also adding some sentiment stickers to my Xmas cards. Here are a few I made:
And then there was some more :)…
And a bit more 🙂
and then some 🙂
I just love the stickers and the ephemera!! I´ve even sneaked in a stencil of mine, but those will be available to a later date again.
Hello again! Here is yet another set of card that I created using the mixed media cutouts by kreativt_uttrykk.
What cutouts, you are asking? Go to this INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on the cutous and also a link to ther Etsy store. You can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).
And now to the cards I made:
For this one I used a STAMPlorations stencil with Distress Oxide Ink to create the faded background pattern. On top of that I added the house and “tree” cutout and colored some of the parts with Posca pens. For finishing touches I added a sentiment I typed with my old typewriter.
For the second one I used similar techniques, except I also added a leftover 7DotsStudio paper a “frame” to the house and stenciled background. The rest is again decorated with Posca pens and a typewriter sentiment.
I love the houses on this set, as you might have noticed :).
Happy crafting,

Hello and happy Friday! Here is another card share – this time in clean and simple style with some stenciling on it.
The stenciling is done with a STAMPlorations stencil – from my line there and red Distress Ink. On top of that I have added a page from 2023 Artist Almanac and a hand drawn watercolor flower and two leaves. The sticker is by Simple Stories and the puff heart is from my older stash.
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! If you are interested in seeing more of my hand drawn embellishments/fodder, go to my YouTube channel. I am posting my #the100dayproject2024 there every day with something hand drawn.
Happy weekend and happy crafting,
