STAMPlorations Spring Fling blog hop and linky party!!!

05/11/2026 admin 7 Comments

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.

Here are some details of the hop and linky party:

The event starts on Monday the 11th of May at 6:00 AM PDT and ends on Wednesday, May 20th at 11:59 PM PDT.

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).

Hello everyone! It´s again time for another STAMPlorations monthly challenge. March theme is “Anything Goes“.

I made a set of Artist Trading cards for this challenge. My bases are from the Watercolor ATC Ephemera pack. On top I added some clear stickers from the Newsprint Background Bits #1 set. On top of that layer I used the Art Marks 3 clear stamps with black stamp ink as well as Distress Oxide Inks in greens and red tones.

On top of those stamped images I added some stenciling with brown Distress Oxide Ink thru a STAMPlorations stencil. As a focal point I stamped some leaves (Art Marks 3 stamp set) with Distress Oxide Ink and fussy cut them. Adhered as a focal point to each ATC I then decorated them with some half pearls and a stamped sentiment from the Shine Bright stamp set.

Challenge start is March 6th and it runs until 31st of March.

STAMPlorations – Pop Art Unicorns, Vol. 2

02/25/2026 admin Leave a comment

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.

If you are interested in the paper goods, there are 3 different subscription types available at their site: Paper Goods (US), Paper Goods card fronts (Worldwide) and ATC (worldwide). Pick the one you like! The worldwide subscriptions work this way: a choice of 1 set (card fronts or ATC) every month.
Prices: $7 for US, $8 for Canada, and $9 for UK and all other countries. Subscription price is inclusive of shipping.

As always, my DT Discount Code at the store is valid, so feel free to use it 🙂 !!! Just note that discount is only available for one-off purchases at the store directly. The subscriptions are handled outside of the store, thus the discount is not valid there!

Happy creating!

STAMPlorations Paper Goods – Pop Art Unicorns

01/12/2026 admin 1 Comment

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:

It´s so nice to have STAMPlorations back and running again.
