{Paper Goods Showcase} Doodled Coffee and Tea Colorables

          

A wonderful Monday to you! We have a new paper goods post to inspire you. Our paper goods are the newest addition to our product line and the STAMPgirls, along with some talented guest designers, are here to give you ideas on how you can use the products creatively in your own projects. You'll find previous paper goods posts here.

STAMPgirls Tanja and Vicki played with the Doodled Coffee and Tea Colorables and created some super gorgeous coffee-themed cards. The great thing about our Colorables is that they're already cut out and ready to color, making it easy for you to make and finish your projects.

{New Paper Goods!} Bloom Cutups ATC

    

Happy Friday, STAMPfriends! We're back with a new post on the paper goods that were recently added to the store. There are card fronts, colorables, and ephemera -- all created for artsy crafters to play with and create fab projects. They're some of the most gorgeous designs professionally printed on 120# (325 gsm) matte white cardstock.

The STAMPgirls have been playing with these for a while now and they all love the quality of both design and paper. I've also gotten a lot of great feedback from customers who love the thickness of the cardstock.

Our paper goods are a recent addition to the store and our catalog continues to grow. This month, I added 14 new products to our paper goods section: three (3) A2 card fronts, six (6) ephemera tiles, and five (5) ATC/journaling cards.

We continue to share projects by the STAMPgirls that feature our paper goods -- they're here to give you ideas on how you can use the products creatively in your own projects.

We have shared projects by Tanja, Jane, Nancy, Shirley, MariLynn, Maria, Craftyfield, Vicki, Sue N., and Sue S. -- you'll find them all here. Today, we're highlighting the Bloom Cutups ATC. This is one my favorites in the bunch, as I love how combining the mixed media collage background, newsprint, and cut-out look of the flowers turned out.

Take a look at what Sanna and Vicki created with these!

Over the next few weeks, you will be seeing the STAMPgirls share projects that feature our paper goods -- they're here to give you ideas on how you can use the products creatively in your own projects.

We have shared projects by Tanja, Jane, Nancy, Shirley, MariLynn, and Maria featuring the Gingerbread Ephemera Tiles, Newsprint Coffee Ephemera Tiles, Hey Hello A2 Card Fronts, Newsprint Blooms Ephemera Tiles, Floral Silhouettes ATC, and What's Up Ephemera Tiles. In this post, we're putting the spotlight on Vintage Blooms ATC. In this particular set, I used old rose, faded yellows, browns, and a couple other neutral shades to give each ATC a vintage feel. And of course, I simply love setting off images in newsprint backgrounds so that's what I did!

Vicki and Craftyfield have taken the ATCs in this set for a spin and they designed some of the most gorgeous projects!

{Spotlight Project} Vicki Gets Inspired by Pinterest

I am rather sad; this is my last Spotlight Project for you all. DH and I are going to do some traveling and unfortunately, stamping isn't conducive to trailer traveling. That aside, I wanted to share a fun last project with all of you.

Cool, isn't it? Well, I think so :) I used Bloom Sketches with a sentiment from Fond Expressions.

{Spotlight Project} Vicki Uses Focal Stenciling

Today I am focusing on using a portion [in different colors] of your stencils. Here is my finished card:

{Spotlight Project} Vicki Shows Enclosed Stenciling

Today I am showing another basic: how to have enclosed stenciling on your card. Here is the finished look:

To achieve this partial stenciling is really easy.

{Spotlight Project} Vicki Finds a Fun Inspiration

I have to chuckle - I went completely blank for today's spotlight. So I figured I can't be the only one that happens to - right? Right? Well, in my case, I have my trusty 1000 Bag, Tags & Labels go-to book.

This book is filled with fabulous inspiration for making cards. Case in point:

What got my attention was the splatter, and the CAS of the design.

Here is my set of cards I ended up making.
