This calendar is also supposed to help me remember people dear to my heart to whom I’d love to wish birthday wishes. So I’ve printed their names and dates on copy paper, cut it in stripes and adhered over some stamped images along with one small picture of one of the birthday persons. Here, obviously, it’s my daughter! Along with snow flakes from Let it Snow! set.

Next up is my son. The other day, my kids were playing with my inks and stamped with pads directly on paper. Then my son doodled something over the squares and it looked gorgeous! So I took his idea, stamped colors from his tee and stamped also some robots from Programmed Robots set! Frankly, after I did this page I didn’t want to move forward unless making all other pages with the same technique! Finally, I overcame this tentation but not entirely. To be continued…

For the April page I was inspired by the proverb “April showers bring May flowers”. And clear embossed a cloud from Wishing you Sunshine set and then colored rain drops with markers in rainbow colors. Stamping Cherry Blossoms from the new set was a breeze and a pleasure!

My birthday is in May and I even have a not very old picture of myself with my daughter! It was a nice occasion to print it! And since it’s quite rare, I used the camera from Snapshot set to underline this fact!

Another page without any picture! And with only one birthday date!!! I’ve added a simple but nice stamping technique: first, I’ve stamped some flowers from Abundant Blossoms in white, let them dry and second I’ve overstamped with butterflies from Colorful Companions set. The flowers are gently peeking from under butterflies, here’s a detail shot:

Next up is the July page with my nephew’s picture. I used the stamp from Road Trip set – this sweet boy and his family will be going away soon after plus it’s the usual vacation month. So this “bon voyage” stamp was very “à propos”!

In August, in Switzerland we’re celebrating our country’s foundation day, there are always tons of fireworks! Hence the stars (Back to the Basics set) in all the colors of the rainbow! And my favorite technique of the moment – multi color heat embossing!

September is the back-to-school month by definition so I’ve stamped the whole alphabet from Summer Alpha set after first aligning each and every letter on my cutting mat. I liked the effect so much that I’ve stamped the alphabet on copy paper for my kids to play with. Some more ideas are coming…

We’re skipping one month and going straight to November. In Polish, my mother-tongue, it means literally “falling leaves”. So here they are (from Floating Leaves set), white embossed and stamped over with ink pads directly to paper! I told you I liked it!

A little close up for you to appreciate the look! After stamping with pads, I’ve smeared ink with my fingers which made those leaves pop a bit more.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this “trash-to-treasure” post and understand now why I’m sort of proud of saving us some money on buying another DIY calendar. But I might spend some more for next year! Yes, stamping is dangerous so beware!

Happy stamping,

to this…….?

You use some fabulous myStampBOX stamp sets, that’s how!!!!!!

Here’s a list of favourites that I used for this project:

Lovely Houses, Enjoy your latte!, Repeat After Me, Striped Stems, symbols, Sigh Gush Gasp, Snapshot, What’s your number?,  Border Lines, Itty Bittys, Neighborhoods, Floating Leaves & Colorful Companions.

Now I just have to think of the perfect place to hang it.

Happy Stamping.

The ornament on the right was left its original canvas color. I stamped the edge of the oak left from Floating Leaves using Peeled Paint Distress ink all around the edges. I think it’s a great substitute for holly! The sentiment in the center is from Small Greetings. A little more Stickles and some gold trim were all it needed to complete the look.

These ornaments were fun and easy to make. Happy holiday stamping!

When I removed the original flowers it tore the paper underneath, so part of my job was not only adding new decorations but covering up the imperfections made in the process. I started by covering the corners of the letter with coordinating paper and inking around the entire letter.

I chose the smallest flower in the Abundant Blossoms set of myStampBOX stamps and multicolor-inked with shades of pink and red. By stamping a trail of flowers across the entire letter, I was able to create a bit of movement in an otherwise-blocky letter. Each flower was enhanced with a pearl or rhinestone center.

The original design for this letter had a cluster of flowers in the upper right corner, and since most of the damage happened when removing it I had to be sure to cover it fully. I started with a paper flower enhanced with a little Stickles. I stamped a larger flower with Abundant Blossoms also inked with pink and red. I took a small flower (the same as the “trail” created across the letter) and punched it out with a tiny punch to create the flower center. A pearl and more Stickles completed this special flower. I layered it with another paper flower and my favorite leaf from the Floating Leaves set of stamps. Together they have enough texture, sparkle, and interest to make little “M” (and her mama) proud!

Supplies: Abundant Blossoms and Floating Leaves stamps by myStampBOX; Ranger Distress Ink; Cleasnap Vivid! Ink; Clearsnap Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink; Bazzill flower; Prima flower; Ranger Stickles; Basic Grey pearls; Studio G rhinestones; DCWV paper; American Crafts cardstock.

First, stamp images of your choice on watercolor paper. Here, I used Abundant Blossoms set.

Second, spray them lightly with water. You can add pigment powder for a  subtle shine. If you find that your images bleed too much, you can stop the bleeding by heating images with your trusted heat gun. Once they’re dry, you can stamp the same images over the first ones once again with a different color of ink.

Now, cut your images out and distress them with a light colored dye ink.

Now all you need to do is to add your images to your project. You can jazz them up a bit before, of course!

The sentiment is from Mention it! set. And here’s a close up:

Here’s also another card I made  earlier with this same technique but with another stamp set, Floating Leaves.

Hopefully those projects will inspire you to make some watery projects. And while you’re at it, you can also use the spray to freshen your face up a little bit. It’s hot after all! Happy stamping!

For most of us it was a challenge to work with these subtle hues, but the end products are all spectacular! Get inspired to leave your regular colour range and try out a new and different palette.

Marsha Valk stamped and embossed on felt with the “Abundant Blossoms” and used white gesso on plaster eggs. She finished the eggs with the solid shapes of the Abundant Blossoms set.

Allison Cope used the oval stamp from “Back to the Basics” for her egg shapes. The background is done with the checkered stamp from “Graphic Borders” and the sentiment comes from “Straightforward”.

Jolene Johnston’s Easter Card was stamped with the flower shape from “Oversized” onto the background. The sentiment is from “Mention It!”.

Birgit Koopsen created a pastel coloured travel diary. She used “Seal It” stamps and the bracket from “Just add Notes”.

Jaine Drake hid her Easter eggs in this sweet little birdhouse. It comes with a matching tag and is decorated with stamps from “Border Lines”.

Agata Pfister let little button rain drops come out of her rain cloud from “Wishing you Sunshine”. The sentiment is from “Mention It!”.

Rebecca Keppel made this Spring colour inspired layout of her daughter. She stamped the “Colourful Companions” Butterflies on white cardstock and used “Summer Alpha” letters for part of her title. *smile* comes from “Sigh, Gush, Gasp”.

Janet Zeppa created the eggs in this cute Easter basket with the oval shape in our “Back to the Basics” set.

Sue Sykes used “Colourful Companions” and “Mini Pennants” with her patterned paper. The sentiment comes from our popular “Straightforward” set.

Linda Abadie outlined the Colourful Companions butterflies on this card, coloured some of the spots in and used a sentiment from the “Itty Bittys” set.

Jill Hildebrand stamped “Floating Leaves” on green acrylic paint for this Passion Play layout and used “Lots of Dots” letters for part of her title.

We hope to get you to take out your pastels and try a new favourite colour combination.

To you and your families a very HAPPY EASTER from the entire myStamp BOX team!

This week I’m challenging you to use this sketch:

Don’t forget… a sketch is just a starting point so the sky’s the limit in how it inspires you!  You can even use it for a layout.  Try stretching it or center it with in your page.

Here are a few cards I created using my sketch this week…

Just a Little HelloStamp sets used: Floating Leaves, Oval Office, Funky Flowers

Check out my blog on how I created my autumn leaves on this card!

HELLO Tags

Stamp sets used: Road Trip,  Royal Flush, Floating Leaves

I rotated the sketch for my tag card.

Butterflies

Stamp sets used: Colorful Companions, Funky Flowers, Repeat After Me

So grab some stamps and the sketch above and let’s see what you can create with them!  Happy stamping!

First, mount a stamp of your choice the wrong side up on your acrylic mount.

Then, ink this wrong side with the ink of your choice and stamp. I used a chalk ink on this one. You may want to repeat the impression in order to achieve the perfect coverage.

Now, wash the wrong side of the stamp and mount it again, this time the right side up, and stamp using another color.

I just love that effect! And here’s the final project:

Now, as to the how-to of my flower, I made it using the sticky back canvas. And here’s a picture which explains itself pretty well:

Hopefully, you’ll want to try this overall stamping technique! Have fun and share with us your projects!

I guess the picture speaks for itself.

I believe you already know that empty glass jars make perfect ribbon or button storage:

Those transparent sour cream lids go for cool shaker cards:

And coffe filters… In fact I don’t even use them everyday. I bought this package for this particular project. But by doing this, I discovered a great stamping material! I love how dye inks melt into this texture! Here’s a pic of them stamped before the crumpling:

Stamp sets used: Floating Leaves, Itty Bittys and Graphic Borders

And here’s what I made out of them:

I also love how the light shine through those filters. You could make a garland like this or gather all lights into a bouquet like on the next picture and offer to someone (or yourself ) as a gift:

And here’s my challenge to you: find some unexpected stamping material around the house and up-cycle!

Other sets used for those projects: Deck the Halls, Royal Flush, Pennants, Funky Flowers, Repeat after Me, Everyday Lines

On the 9th day of Christmas…

I wanted to make a quick and easy item for my son’s teacher to have on her desk but I wanted to think outside of the box.   So I decided to recover a box of Kleenex and make it fun and colourful for his Kindergarten class to enjoy for the month of December.

I started off by covering each face of the box with some fun patterned paper from Basic Grey.  I then covered the top edges of the box using some soft green coloured ribbon.

On one of the long sides I wanted to create a little snowy scene with Santa and his sleigh…

For each of these images, I stamped the Santa from the Ho Ho Ho stamp set on multiple pieces of patterned paper.  I cut out each piece to his suit out of the red paper and added it to the creamy white paper.  I added some pink Copic to cheeks to “merry” him up a little!  A tough of glitter didn’t hurt either…

The back ground of snow was creating using the mini snowflake stamps from the Tree for all Seasons stamp set.

To create Santa’s sleigh, I used the same paper piecing technique as my Santa and layered my patterned paper pieces until I got my desired image built.  This cute sleigh image is from the Ho Ho Ho set as well!

On the smaller end of the box, I paper pierced a little snowman from our Merry Mr. Snowman stamp set.  His cute little candy cane is also from this set.  I added a little Copic “rouge” to this little fella too!

For the second long side, I wanted to make the side a simple greeting side so I used the “happy” stamp from the Lots of Dots Sentiments set to start and then I stamped the word “holidays” using our Royal Flush alphabet set.  I coloured the insides of the letters with my Copic markers to make them a little more festive!  I also added some cute little trees from our O Christmas Tree! set to build a little landscape of sorts.  The double wavy line image is a fun stamp from the Christmas Garlands set.

For my final small end, I stamped a reindeer fellow from our Ho Ho Ho set for Santa.  I coloured his nose and collar red to add touch of colour.

And finally for the top of the Kleenex box, I wanted to ensure that the kids were still able to pull out the tissues so I kept it simple.

I built a simple die cut layered poinsettia and added some stamped leaves from the Floating Leaves set.

I also added a die cut red snowflake with a little tag and message from the Santa’s Tags stamp set.

Overall I just adore how this came out and I just know the kids in my son’s class are going to enjoy all the whimsical critters each side has to offer!  It may be just a Kleenex box but there’s nothing to say that it can’t be something fun to look at!

So take some holiday inspiration and infuse it in your everyday!  Take something from your desk or counter and alter it to be something festive… even if it’s just a temporary decoration.

Happy Stamping!

Last week I made this layout and stamped three leaves from the “Floating Leaves” set on white cardstock. I used yellow, red and green inks. Then I poked around the leaves to make the stitching easier and finally used coordinating thread to sew around the leaf shapes. Then the leaves were cut out and popped up with Helmar Liquid Pop Dots. The paper is from Kiki Art, another of our partner companies. The words are from the the “Passport to Adventure”.

After punching out the little blue accent flowers, I had some left and created a card with them – simple but pretty. The sentiment is form “Everyday Lines”.

Hope you liked my stitching idea. It works for all types of stamps, solid and outline. To decorate a solid stamp, stitch around it!

Happy stamping (and stitching),

Today I’d like to share some fun autumn related projects I have made to both put in my scrapbooks, give as gifts and also to hang on my walls.

I started off by celebrating the first day of my son going to Kindergarten for the full day.  I captured him all dressed and ready for school on his first full day of school and thought it would make a great layout to share with you!

Ready 4 School

For this layout, I used some non-school themed stamps to add those special touches.  I used some of the postage stamp canceling images from the Road Trip stamp set and the school related stamp set from Neighborhoods, of course!

Here are a few closeups…

Next I wanted to create a fun card caddy to give to my son’s teacher around Thanksgiving; which is next week here in Canada.  So I found a 6×6x1 acetate container to use as my card caddy and then I decorated the front…

Autumn Card Caddy

For the front, I used some autumn inspired papers from Imaginisce as the starting point for my colour palette of light orange, rich red, dark brown and a pop of dusty blue.  I stamped the tree with coloured leaves from the Tree For All Seasons set and than added a fun tag using the Itty Bittys (the wood grain stamp) and Small Greetings for the sentiment.

I created one card to put inside my caddy too!  I used the pretty little leafy branch from the Floating Leaves set to decorate the front oval.  Doesn’t it look great with that similarly patterned paper?

And here’s the back of the little card caddy… using the simple leaf shape from the Floating Leaves set again.

Next I wanted to create something autumn related for my door.  So I grabbed some fabric and created a stuffed fabric ring and wrapped it with some soft satin brown ribbon and tied it at the bottom.

Fall Wreath

To decorate my wreath, I stamped a variety of leaves from the Floating Leaves stamp set onto the autumn patterned papers and then cut them all out.  I adhered each leaf using the amazing Professional Acid Free Glue from Helmar Adhesives, one of our extremely generous partner companies.   Each leaf is securely attached but flexes with the fabric.  I’m so impressed by this great glue!

And the final autumn inspired project that I have created to share with you today is a fun welcome sign to hang on my door as the happy haunting season begins for Halloween in a few weeks.

Batty Welcome Banner

I started off my using some black embossing powder and heat embossing the entire surface of that super cute bat chipboard piece by our newest partner company, Magistical Memories.  A few sprays of glittery mist to add some sparkle didn’t hurt either!

I strung a bunch of Halloween colour inspired banner pieces from our newest stamp set here at myStampBOX, Pennants (soon to be released!).  I added some fun Halloween themed stamps from our BOO! set to the tops of some of the banner pieces to add to the holiday theme.

I then used my Funky Alphabet stamp set and created a fun “welcome” statement to hang below my glittery bat.  The title appears to float below because I used some of my “recycled” stamp backer acetate pieces from all of my myStampBOX stamp sets and adhered the hand cut letters using Helmar’s fabulous Scrap Dots and black foam adhesive circles called Zapdots to it and then attached it off of the back of the chipboard bat.

I coloured the inside of all of my funky alphabet letters using some coordinating Copic marker colours to match my pennant pieces.

Thank you for joining me today on my autumn inspired journey.  I hope that just one of these fun projects inspires you get out your myStampBOX stamps and create something fun today!

Happy stamping everyone!

It’s my last post here at the my Stamp BOX blog so far, so I wanted to share two project using my all time favorite stamp set with you.  There are SO many beautiful mSB sets, and I have many favorites…. depending on what I’m going to create, the occation, the time of the year and so on.  But seriously… “floating leaves” must be the set I have used the most. I use it for my layouts, as backgrounds, for classes, stamp and cut out the leaves…. They are really so versatile you can use them for any occation.

For these two layouts I have used floating leaves to create the background. On the first one I used the ” just add notes” set for my journaling and part of the title as well.

On this layout, made for a class I teached in Trondheim, Norway, I have used “floating leaves” along with “funky flowers”.

Some of the flowers are embossed.

Thanks for popping by, and thank you for your wonderful comments.

This flower just makes me happy no matter how many times I look at it.  Here is the page I made.  I’ve used three different stamp sets:  Seal It, Floating Leaves and Border Lines.

I used paper from Kiki Art’s Familia Collection on this page.  I just love the flocking on the yellow paper.

I used my trusty  Helmar Zapdots to attach the stamped “stay true to yourself” seal.  The thickness of the foam mounting circle made it perfect for adding the center to the flower all the while preserving the integrity of the flower’s shape. 

That’s all I have for today. I hope you are as inspired by I am with the beautiful sunflower.

Cheers,

Tracey

I thought I’d try to make stamped felt embellishments. I proceeded in this way and you can follow!

1) Stamp images on some scrap paper and cut them out leaving some space around. You don’t have to worry about intricate cutting.

2) Fix your stencil to some fine felt with a pin. Cut around.

3) Cut two times from felt and once from a stuffing material.

4) Make a sandwich and fix it with a pin. Hand sew all around with shell scalloping stitch. At the end, knot the two ends of the thread and enter them underneath in the felt.

5) Stamp the corresponding image with Staz’On ink.

Congrats! You’ve completed your first felt embellishment! You can use those as a pin – just sew a safety pin underneath and you can wear it. Or fix it to a hair band. Or… I’m sure you’ll find some creative use for them. As for me, I attached it to a pot of apricot preserves I made earlier this Summer.

I also made a small tag that goes on the top of this pot using a stem from Funky Flowers and a sentiment from Small Greetings sets.

I dedicate this red maple leaf to Bettina and Allyson who both are Canadians. And other leaves I dedicate to you all, Fall lovers like me…

Let’s start with a fun flower pot card.  Here are the dimensions of the pieces of cardstock you will need to create this card:

• 9 x 3 1/2 – flower pot
• 3 x 4 5/8 – tag
• 2 3/4 x 4 1/2 – tag mat
• scrap pieces for flowers & leaves

To begin, score your largest piece of cardstock (flower pot) at 2 and 5 1/2 inches.

Fold your score lines to create one valley and peak.  See below.

Now, measure in 1/4 of an inch on the bottom fold.  Use these marks to trim your card base to create a tapered pot base.

I then edge punched my pot edge and inked all of the edges of the card to create more dimension.  I also added some foam adhesive under the pot’s decorative edge to hold it up and create a shadow.

I then added some decorative dots using my Funky Circles stamp set using Versamark ink for a subtle effect.

Then using a scrap piece of green cardstock, I stamped a variety of fun leaves from the Floating Leaves stamp set in various green inks.

I hand cut them out and added some soft air brushed Copic colouring to them for some depth.

I then stamped a variety of floral stamps onto some pretty patterned paper.  For these blooms, I used the Garden Sketches and Kind Flower stamp sets.  I also cut them out.  I added my center flower images using our Preferred Partner, Helmar’s 3D Scrap Dots to pop up the centers.

I then cut the tag and tag mat and adhered the two pieces together.  I tied a bright ribbon around the top of my flower pot to hold the 2 halves of my card together.  I used some glue dots to hold the ribbon secure.

With the tag tucked inside the pot, adhere all of the greenery to the top of your tag.  Don’t worry about the adhesive showing under your leaves.  The flowers will cover it up.

Add all of your flowers and add gems or pearls to add some shine to your card.   I also added some of our Preferred Partner’s crystal glitter from PK Glitz to one of my flowers.

Here’s my finished card!  You can add some stamped images or a sentiment to the front but I decided to leave mine plain.

Since we’re all about interactive cards today… let’s make one more!!!

Let’s make a fun easel card.  Here’s how I made mine!

For this card, you will need only two pieces of cardstock;

• 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 – card base
• 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 – card front

Let’s get started!  Take your largest piece of cardstock and score it at 4 1/4 and 6 3/8.  The Scor-Pal has a groove for both fold lines!

Fold your card to create one valley and one peak.  See the image below.

Now take your square piece of cardstock for your card front and adhere as shown below.

Create a fun 2 inch piece to go on the inside of your card.  I used the beautiful floral block from the Itty Bittys set and stamped in on a whole bunch of one inch squares in soft Spring hues.  I added a funny butterfly from the Colorful Companions set with some polka dots stamped on his wings from the Itty Bittys stamp set again.  I made sure that my lacy cardstock edge was pulled up a bit as to catch the bottom of my card front.

I created my card front to look like a continuation of my inside piece.  I also added some glitter paint to the exterior to give my card some shine!  Sorry it’s so hard to photograph that aspect.  The sentiment on this card is from the Oval Office set.

And now you have two more interactive cards to add to your creative knowledge.  I hope you give them both a try for your next card project!

Have a great Thursday!

So in honour of all the lovely additions to our mSB family, I thought I would fun to focus on BIRTHDAYS today!

Let’s start with some fun and simple birthday cards; cards for all ages and genders!

I started off with a very simple, masculine card.  Clean lines, darker colours, simple patterns like polka dots and some fun stamps can make a great masculine card!

Happy Birthday

I used one of the cute little circles from the Funky Circles stamps sets and created a quick line of fun stamped circles on my off white paper.  I added a heat embossed “Happy Birthday” greeting from Happy Word Jumble stamp set on some dark brown cardstock and popped it off this simple card background.  A very easy birthday card for that special man in your life!

Programmed

I absolutely love all the little robot creatures from the Programmed Robots stamp set and knew that I had to make a fun birthday card for that special little guy reaching that next year of life.  I bent the greeting from the set around a circle of fun patterned paper and heat embossed the greeting and the little robot using some gorgeous embossing powders by one of our sponsor’s, PK Glitz.  I love how this fun birthday card turned out!

Wish Come True

For my last card, I wanted to create a “girly” kind of card for my stash so I searched through my patterned papers for one that jumped out and I found this fun polka dot paper.  It started me off with a fun colour scheme for this card.  I stamped the subtle green branch from the Floating Leaves stamp set for the window first.  Then I layered on a pretty pink butterfly from the Colourful Companions set and also a fun greeting from my Oval Office stamp set.   I also used some Versamark ink and stamped a frilly edge along the label shape at the bottom using one of the circles from my Funky Circles stamp set.

——————–

Now that I had created a few cards, I also wanted to showcase a birthday themed layout so I created this frilly page showcasing lots of fun mSB stamp sets. That’s me and my son just hours after he was born.

Special Delivery

Here are all the fabulous stamps I used on this layout: tag (Road Trip), title (Mention It!), butterflies (Colourful Companions),  flowers (Garden Sketches), branch and leaf (Floating Leaves).

Here are a few close ups of my stamping and design…

I used only one colour of ink for all my stamping on this page.  To create a lighter ink colour, I first stamped my image off on a scrap piece of paper, then I stamped the image on my page.  It’s as simple as that!

And another close up of one of my butterflies with a touch of glitter.

So the next time you are looking for some birthday inspiration, just take a gander at your myStampBOX stamp sets!  You never know where you will draw inspiration from!

Have a great weekend!

~ Allison Cope ~

Today I want to show you an easy way to use glitter.  Yup… you know.  All those little tiny bottles of wonderful and super clingy glitters we all hide in our scrappy stash!

So grab your stamps and glitter and come play along with me today!

I started off by stamping a few flower images from the Garden Sketches stamp set with black Memento ink.

I masked off the flower images and stamped a few fern images from the Floating Leaves stamp set.

Then I coloured my flower images with my Copic markers, using the same colours (or close) to the colours of glitter you choose to use.

Once all the images were coloured, I used my Quickie Glue pen and started to colour each flower in individually.   Once my glue was applied, I sprinkled on my glitter and tapped off the excess.

Here is the image completely coloured and all the glitters applied.

I finished off my glittered squared with some soft inking around the edges, some Copic airbrushing for some speckles, some piercing using my piercing tool and adding some pretty green adhesive pearls to the center.  I then took my square and applied some hairspray to it.  This was to ensure the glitter stays in place and it didn’t effect the ink either!

I added some purple frames and then used the same fern stamp again with Versamark ink on the green card base and placed the purple frames on the card base.  I also added a quick sentiment using the Oval Office stamp set.

I hope that you too grab your stamps and glitter and create a fun card today!

Thanks for joining me today!

I never really thought much of the colour orange and cringed whenever an orange piece of paper/cardstock/embellishment made its way into my craft area. But somehow I have grown to love this colour and when you team it with pink, you can get such exciting projects together.

So, this week I challenge you to not only use the colours ORANGE and PINK together on a layout but also to include CIRCLES in different sizes.

Here is what I came up with – can you guess how many different stamps I have used on this layout?

Stamp Sets used (if you click on the images you get directly to the set in the store and can add it to your cart)

That’s where alphabet stamps come in! They’re fabulous! You can make them look so many different ways just by altering the way you stamp, the colour you use or how you display the title.

In my first example (isn’t my niece adorable?), I cut out a small rectangle of white cardstock and stamped “ATTITUDE” in pink at varying angles to represent her tendency to show her own unique personality. I then added the smaller alpha stickers for the first part of my title.

Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock, American Crafts Paper, Making Memories Letter Stickers, my Stamp BOX Wishing You Sunshine, my Stamp BOX Colorful Companions, my Stamp BOX Splash Me A Lot, my Stamp BOX Seal It!

In my next layout “Starting Over”, I created a special page about my father having a new baby later in life and starting the process of parenting all over. A very different look is created when you overlap your stamped letters and then hand cut them out.

Supplies: My Mind’s Eye Paper, Making Memories Paper, Bazzill Cardstock, Copic Markers, my Stamp BOX Seal It!, my Stamp BOX Floating Leaves, my Stamp BOX Rough Copy

Did you know that my Stamp BOX has 23 alphabet, number and punctuation sets? They are all unique in their own way. Be sure to check them out!

Thanks for popping by today!
Happy Stamping!
