Stamps Are Fun 03 | Ali's Project 02

Sharing another project idea using our newest Stamps Are Fun 6x8 stamp set (03). 

Something I wanted to try with this stamp set was the idea of radial flowers coming together to create unique shapes. 

A little like snowflakes but made with flowers! I stamped these using StazOn ink on vellum for my project. 

Let's dive right in to the process video: 

And here's a look via still images: 

This project is a two-page, 11 inches wide x 8.25 inches tall project that will live in my 2025 story album. I will be creating on the back of the vellum within the album adding another story later this month. 

As you can see above, this project started with creating the background pattern on the vellum using outline flowers from this stamp set. On top of that custom background paper I added a series of circles and photos to tell my story. 

I used an older stamp set that has a bunch of outlined, half-filled shapes to start my circles. I used a 2.5 inch circle punch to punch those out before using the Birthday Story Stamp (we have some of these in stock) on top. I curved the "a birthday story" and "celebrating you" on my stamp block to fit this particular circle. Next I added the floral outline stamp before running my circles through my sewing machine with some dark pink thread. 

I punched a Storyteller pattern paper for the title and added some stickers from my stash for her age and initials. I then used a 3 inch circle punch to punch white cardstock circles as a base for my journaling and photos. Those circles get overlapped when I adhered the circles to my background pattern vellum. 

I love how that spread turned out! 

When I first started working on these Stamps Are Fun projects I did some warm-up stamping in a variety of colors. I ended up punching those out with a 1 inch circle punch and plan to add them to a project soon. Loved adding in a couple stamped on vellum too for a texture variation. 

Have fun playing with this set!
