Our new Springtime Coffee ATC pack is here and ready to bring a touch of vintage charm to your craft desk. 🌸☕️ These 2.5" x 3.5" canvases feature beautifully detailed images that are a dream to color.

🌍 Wanderlust Found: Ina’s Vintage Voyage with Our New Collage Paper 📜✨

Are you ready to add a touch of travel, history, and "urban grunge" to your art? 🏗️ Ina has been exploring our brand new Wanderlust Wayside collage paper pack, and she has created a spectacular trio of cards that prove just how far these textures can take your creativity! 🎨 From intricate, multi-stamp interiors to dimensional die-cut frames, these papers are the perfect passport to inspiration. ✈️🗺️

Here’s a look at Ina’s vintage adventures:

The Journey to Paris & Stamped Surprise 🕰️🌸

Ina’s first card features a stunning sheet from the Wanderlust Wayside pack, dominated by the image of a vintage woman facing a collage of the Eiffel tower, map, butterfly, and vintage clock face. 🕰️ She kept the front relatively clean to showcase the pattern, adding a delicate sentiment from the Bloomful stamp set.


But the real "wanderlust" is inside! Surprise! Opening the card reveals a complex, "all-over" mixed-media masterpiece. 🏗️ Ina used a master mix of Dare Subway Art Builders (retired), Mixed Media Grunge, Mixed Media Elements, Scribbly Splattery Grunge, and Art Marks to create a rich, layered texture that feels like a travel-worn passport. 🖋️

The Framed Gentleman 🕵️‍♂️🧵

For her second card, Ina took that same powerful 5-stamp mixed-media mix and used it to stamp directly onto the card front to create a textured border. 🏗️ She then used the stitched nesting dies to create a clean, dimensional frame. The focal point is a sophisticated hand-cut gentleman, taken from one of the Wanderlust Wayside sheets and popped onto the frame with foam tape for incredible height. 📏 He is finished off with an uplifting sentiment. 🦋✨


Making Memories with Basic Panels 📸📏
Ina's final card is a study in structural, layered design. She used the basic A2 panels nesting dies to cut three distinct panels, creating a "card-on-card" dimensional look. 🏗️ This layout perfectly frames the rich textures of the collage paper. The simple, powerful phrase "make memories" anchors the theme of travel and nostalgia. 🗺️🙌

🌿 Vintage Blooms & Caffeine Dreams: Jane’s Faded Botanicals Duo ☕✨

If you love the look of aged journals, pressed flowers, and soft, weathered textures, you'll fall in love with the Faded Botanicals collage paper! Jane has been busy in her studio showing off just how versatile these ethereal papers are—whether you’re creating a delicate floral scene or a cozy coffee greeting. 🎨📖

Here’s a closer look at how Jane styled these new arrivals:


Fluttering Over Faded Blooms 🦋🌸

In this first card, Jane showcases the gorgeous, muted floral prints. She used a sheet with a hand-torn look to create a soft, textured background that feels like a page from a vintage naturalist’s diary. Over the top, she layered and stamped the elegant imagery from the Blossom Like a Butterfly set (also available as a digital set!). The crisp black stamping of the butterfly and florals creates a stunning contrast against the hazy, watercolor-like tones of the collage paper. 🕊️🌿


A "Latte" Texture: The Coffee Thank You ☕ Card

Who says botanicals are only for gardens? Jane took a piece of the Faded Botanicals paper—featuring beautiful floral imagery—and used it to add a sophisticated, "shabby-chic" layer to her coffee-themed card. She paired it with the classic to-go cup from the Thank You Coffee stamp set and a bold, heartfelt sentiment from Fond Expressions 2. The collage paper perfectly complements the handwritten feel of the stamps, making for a perfectly "perked up" thank-you note! ☕🍂


🛍️ Your Art Journaling Essentials Are Here!

Ready to get your hands on these textures? We are so excited to announce that Faded Botanicals, along with our other 8 collage paper designs, are now available as individual packs in the shop!

Ready to take your collage paper to the next level? Sanna is in the spotlight today, showing us how to marry the soft, wispy nature of our Ephemeral Edges pack with the bold, graphic world of Gelli printing! 🖼️🌀

By using her gel plate and a few signature STAMPlorations products, she’s created cards that feel like miniature pieces of abstract art. Let’s break down her stunning process.
In this first project, Sanna used the fanned stencil on a gel plate to create some details. By layering the Ephemeral Edges paper into her print, she achieved a seamless, built-in texture. She then crowned the piece with the butterflies and a perfectly placed clear sticker sentiment. It’s the perfect mix of movement and modern design! ✨🏙️

Art Marks & Abstract Layers 🖌️🌈 
Sanna’s second card is a masterclass in texture building. 🏗️ She combined the Art Marks 3 stamps with the delicate patterns of the collage paper to create a background that feels alive. The translucent edges of the paper allow her Gelli-printed details to shine through, creating a deep, multi-layered look that’s finished off with another uplifting clear sticker sentiment. 🌤️🙌

If you’re inspired by Sanna’s seamless blending and bold textures, Ephemeral Edges is now available in the store! It’s the ultimate pack for creators who want to experiment with Gelli plates, stamps, and mixed media without any harsh lines! 🎨📦

⚙️ Urban Edge & Artistic Flair: Maria Creates 3 Cards with Analog Grunge 🐦🎨

Who says grunge can't be gorgeous? Maria is here to show us that a little "grit" goes a long way! 🙌 Using the textures of the Analog Grunge collage paper pack, she has created three cards that perfectly blend industrial patterns with whimsical design. 🏗️✨

By pairing these edgy papers with STAMPlorations dies and stamps, Maria has created a look that is modern, bold, and totally unique. Let’s take a look.


The Perched Bird & Wonky Stitches 🐦🧵
In this first card, Maria tore strips from Analog Grunge to to create a stunning backdrop. To give it that signature "shabby" look, she used our crazy double running stitch die for the mat—the irregular stitching is the perfect partner for a grungy background! 🏚️ Finished with the perched bird die-cut, this card feels like a beautiful moment found in an urban garden. 🌿✨

High Fashion Grunge: The CityGirl Skirt 👗🏙️
This is such a clever use of paper! Maria took strips of the Analog Grunge and layered them to create a textured, pleated skirt for her CityGirl. 👠 It’s a literal "paper fashion" moment! Maria created a card that is sassy, stylish, and full of texture. 💋✨


Sleek Lines & Skinny Sentiments 📏🖤
For her final card, Maria shows off how Analog Grunge can work in a clean and simple (CAS) layout. ⬜ By using strips of the collage paper as the background, she lets the weathered patterns do the heavy lifting. The addition of the skinny sentiment adds a touch of elegance and modern minimalism that ties the whole "grunge" look together beautifully. ✨🙌


🌟 Ready to add some edge to your art? 🌟

If you love these urban textures and "gritty" patterns, grab yourself a pack of Analog Grunge -- it's now available in the store. It’s the pack for those who want to add depth, history, and a touch of street-style to their projects. 🎨📦
