STAMPlorations new collage papers

Hi Everyone I am here today to share some of my makes with the gorgeous new STAMPlorations collage papers.  You can find the whole range in the store HERE. There are some fab bundle deals and the paper subscription service is also back Here. If you are not in the USA there is also an international offer, so do check everything out. 

The papers are Artisan quality and printed on 70# matte paper. The sheets offer a substantial, professional feel without the bulk. The matte finish ensures no glare, making them perfect for photography and filming your process.   At 5.75" x 8", they are perfectly sized to serve as full-page backgrounds for standard journals, or to be torn down into smaller clusters, tags, and tuck spots.

I was sent the beautiful Faded botanicals set (above) to play with and designed several cards using them. There are 3 different designs in the pack. The papers are fantastic to use as a "stand alone" card front with a few gems and a sentiments. I also had fun paper weaving with scraps and using them with existing stamp sets. Here are 4 of my first makes; 

 

I cannot recommend these beautiful papers more highly. Shery is also sharing all the Design Team makes using the different paper sets over on the STAMP blog here; Do check them out.

Also remember that if you use my unique code STAMPGIRLJANE you can take 20% off at checkout. (This is not valid for subscriptions,. just physical products in the store). 

I have shared process photos of some of my cards over on Instagram, where I share much more content than here on my blog. Do check out my account here @jane.tyrrell. I would really love to see you join me.

However unusually for me I do have another blog post up this Thursday (19th March) as there is a brand new release from Simon Says Stamp . It is the  "In my heart" collection and the stamp set I was sent to design with is beyond cute. Do pop back to see what I made.

Thanks for stopping by,
