STAMPlorations Clear Stickers

Hi there,

the most talented Shery from STAMPlorations has added the new Clear Stickers to the shop. Here are some creations showcasing this fabulous product:

• stamp three mugs from the STAMPlorations What's brewing set with Versafine Vintage Sepia onto a panel of watercolor paper
• color the images and the background with Ecoline Brush Pens and a watercolor brush
• add the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Just Caffeinate Clear Sticker set
• add a strip of brown foiled cardstock and of striped patterned paper to the bottom of the panel before adhering it to the cardbase

On my next project I used PanPastels on my Gelli Plate:

• apply PanPastel through the ARTplorations Lattice stencil onto a Gelli Plate
• use a brayer to coat that pastel layer with white acrylic paint and take your print
• cut out a tag from the print using one of the CUTplorations Manila Tags
• adhere a sticker from the STAMPlorations Free Spirit sticker set
• add some more texture with the help of the scrip stamp from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Elements set and Archival Ink Watering Can
• grunge up the edges with Art Graf Aquarell-Grafit
• dye a piece of torn seam binding with Distress Stain (Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac) and thread it through the hole of the tag

On my third project I used one of the STAMPlorations Coffee Time Stickers:

• add color to a piece of watercolor paper with Distress Ink (Tea Dye, Ground Espresso) and water from a Mini Mister
• add Pearlized Water droplets for extra shimmer
• adhere a sticker from the STAMPlorations Coffee Time sticker set
• use the ARTplorations Dots 'n' Beans stencil, Distress Ink Ground Espresso and a Mini Ink Blending Tool to create a background on a kraft cardbase

For my last project I used some pretty packaging to create an ATC:

• cover a piece of ATC-sized Packaging with white gesso
• grunge up the edges with Art Graf Aquarell-Grafit
• adhere a sticker from the STAMPlorations Free Spirit sticker set
• add some more texture using the dots from the STAMPlorations Mixed Media Grunge set and Archival Ink Watering Cam
• as final embellishments add some of the Nuvo Dream Frops Love Potion

I hope you love this new product line as much as I do.

Hugs,

You are mermazing

Hi there,

I created this mermazing card for the Stamping-Fairies Facebook Group:

• stamp only the mermaid tail from one of the mermaids in the My Favorite Things Mermazing set with Versafine Smokey Gray
• color the tail with Ecoline Brush Pens and a Glitter Pen - add scales with a grey fineliner
• cut a frame into a smooth white cardstock panel with the help of one of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Frame it Stitched Squares
• add some interest by adding strips cut using the Paper Smooches Snow Drifts
• add color to the waves with Distress Oxide Ink Broken China and to the sky with Distress Oxide Ink Tumbled Glass and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• mist the sky and the waves with Pearlized Water and add some Cosmic Shimmer Gunmetal 
• stamp the sentiment from the same stamp set with Altenew Crisp Ink Teal Cave
• adhere all the layers to a dark grey cardbase

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,
