Happy 13th Birthday STAMPlorations!

We're having a celebration over at STAMPlorations. Our beloved leader, Shery has created some new products that make card making simple and easy. We are showcasing some of the recent release products. 

Here is my first card

For this card, I used a sheet of STAMPlorations' new All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs. I chose 2 images and fussy cut them. Also, I chose a sentiment from STAMPlorations' new All Things Coffee Clear Stickers. To create a background for the coffee-inspired items, I used STAMPlorations' Dots 'n Beans stencil on a white A2 card base with Gathered Twigs distress ink applied with an oval ink blending brush. I adhered the clear sticker to a scrap of kraft cardstock to help me it stand out. I moved the sentiment and two elements around until I found a placement I liked and I glued them down to complete my card.

Here's my second card

For this card, I started with a sheet of STAMPlorations' new Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs. When I saw the sewing machine, it reminded me of my mom. She sewed "piecework" while we were growing up and later she did alterations. I cut the sewing machine out. For the background, I used STAMPlorations' Wonky Stitched Grid Texture Cover Plate with a green panel. I ink blended some Fossilized Amber distress ink with an oval ink blending brush to give it a worn look. I also matted with a mustard colored A2 piece of cardstock. To prevent the sewing machine from getting lost on the background, I cut a circle from kraft cardstock. I glued the pieces together. For the sentiment, I used one of the stickers from STAMPlorations' new Nostalgic #1 Clear Stickers pack. I adhered the sticker to a scrap of the mustard cardstock, trimmed it and glued it in place to complete my second card.

Here's my third card

For this card, I selected the floral coffee cup element from STAMPlorations' new Flowers + Coffee Focal Fronts pack. This pre-cut and colored image is perfect if you're in a hurry to make a card. I chose a sentiment from STAMPlorations' new All Things Coffee - Clear Stickers pack. For the background, I cut one sheet from STAMPlorations' Botanical Beats Collage Paper pack down to A2 size. I adhered the clear sticker to the background and glued the coffee cup focal front in place. To finish my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base. So simple to do and it looks great!

Here's my fourth card and my last card today

For this card, I chose an element from STAMPlorations' new Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Outs and fussy cut it. The paper is not too thick and there is a nice thick white border which makes the fussy cutting very easy to do. I chose a sentment clear sticker from STAMPlorations new Floral Magic - Clear Stickers pack. For the background, I used STAMPlorations' Dragonfly Waltz stencil with milled lavender, antique linen and old paper distress inks applied with oval ink blending brushes. I stuck the sentiment sticker in place and glued the floral element in place. To finish my card, I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base with double-sided tape.
