Open Call for STAMPlorations Project Designers



Do you have a unique style? Do you love sharing techniques and projects on your blog and on social media? Do you love STAMPlorations products? I'm looking for creative cardmakers and crafters to become STAMPlorations Project Designers and help spread the word about our company and our products.

Please note: For now, this call is open to US-based crafters due to current international postal suspensions/restrictions and/or delays. Once postal services around the world are back to normal (or are close to being back to normal), international crafters may apply.

Here it is:


Aren't the stars and dots popping off the page? Let me take you through the process on how it came about.

{Spotlight Project} Becca Does Mixed Media Two Ways



I'm baaaaaaaaaAAAaaaack! It's so good to be back to designing at my STAMPlorations home! I've missed all of you! Today I'm going to share a little bit more about my design aesthetic.

I like to classify myself as a mixed media artist. For some people, hearing the term "mixed media" results in visions of unruly lines, messy tables, and inky fingers. To be honest, this is my default mode for creating - the messier the better. The thought of trying to create a white space on a card used to have the same shiver-inducing response.

So today, I'm using the Wild and Free stamp set from my line and I'd like to show you how mixed media can be done both in the traditional messy, inky ways and in the clean, pristine way. Mixed media for all!

(ETA: Jessica has let me know that she is moving her blog to a new one and the new blog is still under construction.)
