🌸 [Paper Goods Showcase] Springing into Creativity with Stephanie! 🌸

Hello, STAMPfriends! We're excited to have the incredibly talented Stephanie Severin back for our Paper Goods Showcase! If you’ve been looking for ways to stretch your stash and create stunning, layered cards without the stress, you are in for a treat.

Today, 
Stephanie shows us how to perfectly pair our Newsprint Blooms Ephemera Tiles with the Mixed Media Spring ATCs. Her cards are a masterclass in "collage chic," proving that with the right paper goods, a high-end look is just a few snips away! ✨

🌼 Card #1 🌼

Stephanie starts strong with a beautiful balance of vintage and modern. By layering a newsprint blooms tile over a vibrant mixed media spring ATC, she creates a focal point that pops! The "keep the FAITH" sentiment from the Faith Expressions stamp set adds a touch of soul to this botanical beauty. It's the perfect encouragement for a friend who needs a little sunshine. ☀️


🌿 Card #2 🌿

For the second card, Stephanie leaned into a moodier, more atmospheric palette. She chose a mixed media spring ATC with a deep, painterly blend of teals, pinks, oranges, and yellows. Layered over it is a newsprint blooms ephemera tile with a red flower that pops beautifully against a black and white newsprint background. To complete the look, she added a clean white sentiment strip across the bottom featuring the beautiful verse. It’s such a thoughtful, artistic design!


💖 Card #3 💖

For this third card, Stephanie took the newsprint blooms and fussy-cut them out to layer them over a vibrant mixed media spring ATC that's bursting with sunny yellow, orange, and pink watercolor tones behind a spring bird. This layering gives the card amazing dimension. To finish it off, she added a bold, black Thanks die cut right across the bottom, making the sentiment pop against the bold background. It's such a fun, high-contrast look! 🎀


🙏 Card #4 🙏


For the final card, Stephanie brings everything together with a stunning focus on nature! 🦋 She chose a mixed media spring ATC that features a beautiful, detailed butterfly resting against a soft, artistically distressed background. She then added a fussy-cut newsprint blooms flower and layered it right alongside the butterfly for a wonderful sense of depth. To ground the design, she chose the powerful "step out in faith" sentiment from the Faith Expressions stamp set. It’s a peaceful, inspiring way to wrap up this showcase!✨
