agnus.k: Stamping

Very excited to be playing with the awesome June release from Kellie Stamps this month and have another pocket page project to share.

I should confess that I have never really been a great stamper, but after playing with Kellie's fantastic designs I have to say that I am feeling very proud of how well my pages turned out this month and can definitely see myself using plenty more stamps in future projects.

I started with the Railway Alpha stamp and loved how this simple font added instant impact to my pockets.

The Yeah Nah set was fun to use - even when documenting some of life's not so great situations ;)

The sentiments worked well with a variety of photos and were great for highlighting a range of different emotions.

I also shared a summer insert using more Kellie Stamps last week documenting one of our weekend getaways.

Using a mix of the Go See Do and

Camp Life sets for these pockets, along with that awesome Railway Alpha again for my title.

I loved the images and sayings in the Camp Life set, and even though these photos were not from a camping trip I think that this set can easily be adapted to a variety of different outings.

You'll find all of the stamp sets I have used over at the Kellie Stamps store, along with digital versions of three of them!

With the Christmas celebrations over, I was able to enjoy a little craft time and couldn't wait to play with some of the gorgeous new goodies I received from StudioForty.

I paired up some of their fun stamps, stickers and die-cuts to create a layout with one of my favourite festive pics.

I love a versatile stamp set and even though the 'Exploring' stamps are not necessarily Christmas themed, I was able to use the gorgeous branch designs to create a cute tree for my festive layout by stamping the branches in a simple triangular shape.

To vary the size of the branches, I only applied ink to a portion of the stamp at a time - adding more ink and more of the design as I went down the tree. Once I had the basic shape stamped, I built up the layers to create a fuller tree then cut out the design and added a layer of pretty gold foiled vellum over the top. I like the way the vellum softens the stamping and hides some of the imperfections while also creating the look of twinkling lights on the tree.

I added a few cute designs from the 'Winter is Coming' Die-cut Elements, and used the 'Winter is Coming' Candy Cane Alphabet Stickers to create my title.
