Kellie Stamps August 2016 New Release Reveal!

It's August 2016 New Release Day!!
The new stamp for this month is titled
"Eat More Cake"!
You can find it in digital and clear at




Full Project: Traveler's Notebook spread on two pages, using the digital version of "Eat More Cake" to create my own patterned paper in Adobe Photoshop. Printed on copy paper on my home printer to create the "Happy" background. Also printed the "Birthday" banner on the right with this digital set. The three photos on the left all go in the craft sack pocket.

Supplies: Midori Traveler's Notebook (02 Grid), Kellie Stamps"Eat More Cake" , DailyLike banana leaf washi tape, Studio Calico wood patterned paper,  craft sack from Hobby Lobby, We R Memory Keepers Nesting Star Dies. 






Love that these versatile stamps can be used for all kinds of everyday and event photos, as you can see from the rest of the Kellie Stamps Creative Team posts! Look for Kellie Stamps on Instagram and follow to see the Creative Team projects.







You can see here I took the colors for this layout from the photo on the right. Got that 70's retro vibe going! 



Thank you for visiting here today and enjoy your weekend!

Clique Kits and Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps Hop

You should arrive from the Clique Kits Blog, but I have the hop list below to help you.
So, stamping is still one of my fave techniques!
These Precious Remembrance Stamps are so versatile!






 Supplies: Clique Kits August 2016 Kit, Precious Remembrance Shop Stamps ("Totally" set)




Got stamps? Then, you can make your own patterned paper! Just repeat stamp until you have covered enough area, and then apply any color ink that coordinates with your layout. I used the Hero Arts Ombre Ink to stamp and the Ranger Distress Ink to blend with an Ink Blending Tool.





Then, hand cut your chevron, arrow quill shapes using the first one as a template.




Add a combination of straight and zig zag stitching, and lift up the edges of each shape for more dimension. Notice, there are three rows of shapes and four rows of stamping. That comes out to seven, since our eyes crave odd numbers in design.




Close up of the title and photo area. Love how the "Totally" title looks when stamped! Like it has been brush lettered! I used the Versafine Onyx Black Ink.


Next stop on the hop is the talented Kim! Have fun, and review the list below if you get lost!
