Craft Stamper magazine sort out

I’m still going with my craft stamper magazine stamps sort out and today I have an Easter card I made using the cute Hares stamp … which I will say straight away has gone straight into the keep pile.

To be honest I knew as sure as I saw the stamp in the box that I was keeping it as it’s such a cute image plus the silhouette style is perfect to stop it being too cute!

I inked up an acrylic block and spritzed with water to make the background that was perfect for then stamping the image onto.

Then it was a case of finding the right background paper to play with and make up the card. I ended up going with the Art By Marlene collage paper and some black for contrast.

I added the sentiment from the Arrange a Wreath set and then some pink gems and a green gingham ribbon for embellishment.

Simple and sweet. Love it.

Happy crafting!

I’m back with another Craft Stamper magazine stamps sort out project … this time using this cupcake image.

I stamped and embossed it and then coloured with my stampin write markers before fussy cutting it out. I had already decided by this point that it was unlikely to stay in the keep me pile but it was time to make use of what I had created regardless.

I decided to use one of the spray backgrounds that were on my desk still from a few weeks ago. I added some stencilling to it to add some more interest and then started adding it to a piece of the zingy Parakeet party cardstock. I also added some washi tape strips that I thought complemented the cupcake colouring.

Next I went with some piercing to add a bit of something to the washi strips. But then I covered most of that up with the sentiment. I used Happy Celebrations which I stamped and fussy cut out but the addition of the black meant I needed to add more balconies so the punched circle and the black embossed rest of the sentiment and then finally added a layer of black to the background panel too.

I think originally I had thought it would be a pretty pretty style card but it ended up turning quite funky!

I added it all to a bright orange card base to keep the brightness going in contrast to the black. I actually like the final card but the stamp I can’t see me using so it’s going to the get rid pile. You win some, you lose some as they say!

Of I also used some yellow star gems I had in the stash to embellish.

Happy crafting!

I’m back delving into the box of Craft Stamper magazine stamps and sorting out which are for keeping and which are for leaving my stash… today it was this one with a collage type feel to it that I decided to play rainbows 🌈 with.

I stamped it in a row along a longer piece of cardstock so I could make a DL card from. I then stamped it again in black on a separate piece so I could colour in the creature (I think it’s a moth but I went colourful as though it was a butterfly!)

I then cut that out and mounted it onto black. I used black to also mount the background panel but I also used my scoreboard to edge it a little … it’s subtle but it’s there I promise!

I then decided to go a bit rainbow mad with the die cut letters and used a rainbow washi I’ve got to cover some card then die cut the letters on different parts and at different angles. I stacked them on other die cut letters to give them the dinension too.

Next I took some of the stamp from a happy celebrations for the other part of the sentiment and mounted that onto black.

I also added some shiny black stars as embellishments.

As much as I love this card I think it is unlikely I would use it again and have plenty of collage type stamps I could use instead, so it’s going into the get rid pile rather than the keep pile.

Happy crafting!

Biggest Wish, Craft Stamper magazine stamps

I have an a5 box which has a fair few Craft stamper magazine stamps in it …

… which I NEVER think to use so making it one of my things this year to go through and either get rid or put in a more accessible place so I think to use them and this card is the first card I’ve made using them.

And I love it!

I grabbed the Rennie MacIntosh style tile stamp and stamped it in black all over a piece of cardstock and then again on a separate piece which I added colour to. I then cut that out and decided to turn it into a tile by heat embossing clear over it twice so it becomes nice and glossy. I used to do this a lot but I forgot about it until now and suspect I made do this again more often as I LOVE it.

I added a black mat behind this tile and also the piece of cardstock which I trimmed down to be slimmer than the card front.

Next chose to use the Biggest Wish stamp onto the cream card in black which I then fussy cut and mounted onto black and fussy cut that too.

Finished off with some black card candi on the front to embellish.

Inside I added one of the off cuts of the card panel I had stamped and a small strip of black.

Really love how this came out and this made me immediately put this stamp into the keep pile as I can imagine using this again.

Happy crafting!
