more of STAMPlorations perfect pairs

If you'd like to take the guesswork out of cardmaking, there's a new product over at STAMPlorations just for you. It has the perfect name - Perfect Pairs - and it makes creating a card super simple. Shery has paired a sentiment and small background stamp with some beautiful ephemera cuts and all you have to do is add them to a card.

My first couple cards made using only the Blooms and Sunshine pairing, you can see here.

Today's cards combine that same pairing with other STAMPlorations products from my stash. First up is this card to cheer someone up. Wanna know how my brain works? Sending you "sunshine" hmmmm... sunshine...rain...cloud...sun rays...and even though I was originally going very CAS with this I then thought why not add a gorgeous yellow flower and wispy frame too? I actually really love this card.

Did somebody say coffee? Actually I think it might be tea on the piece of ephemera. (I realized that as I decided to match my splatters to the color of the beverage in the cup. Oh well, maybe one day there will be tea beans...)

A thank you card. For a coffee or tea drinker.


And then because I alway seem to be needing tags, I popped two of the ephemera pieces onto tags. One background I stamped with the sentiment stamp. The other with the splatter stamp.


There are so many beautiful pieces of ephemera included in this Perfect Pair collection. Peruse the other fun collections here. I'm loving the holiday themed ones. Don't forget about my STAMPlorations discount code STAMPGIRLMARIA for 20% off should you be ready to do some shopping ;) BTW... all dies in the store are 15% off during August!

introducing STAMPlorations perfect pairs

If you'd like to take the guesswork out of cardmaking, there's a new product over at STAMPlorations just for you. It has the perfect name - Perfect Pairs - and it makes creating a card super simple. Shery has paired a sentiment and small background stamp with some beautiful ephemera cuts and all you have to do is add them to a card.


This is the first card that I made with the Blooms and Sunshine pairing. I literally chose the two ephemera pieces that first caught my eye and squeezed the wonderful sentiment in between them. A piece of washi along the right edge and voila. Bet this card didn't even take me 4 minutes ;)

Here's my second make. Took me more than 4 minutes cuz all I knew was I wanted to use this piece of  ephemera and some lilac cardstock. It took me a little bit to figure out exactly how.

There are so many beautiful pieces of ephemera included in this Perfect Pair collection. I'll be back with more makes soon. How fun is it to have pieces that go so well together right at your fingertips? Peruse the other fun collections here. I'm loving the holiday themed ones.
