STAMPLORATION STAMPS 

Big Impact, Affordable Price, High Quality

Thanks to my stamping friend Nancy of Nancy Stamps on You Tube, I heard of a Stamp Company called Stamplorations. They offer Photo polymer stamps, high quality dies and stencils.  What I found the most pleasing are the bold, affordable sentiments!  Here are some cards that I made with these STAMPLORATIONS stamps.

For this card I created background paper using a gemstone that was part of a stamp set I had in my stash. I used Brutus Monroe surface inks to ink the gems in a variety of colors. I stamped the sentiment using Brutus Monroe Detail Ink in Raven (black).

 Much like the first card, I made this card the same way.  The glitter stock in aqua blue is from Doodle Bug Designs.

One of my favorite quotes by Ghandi is featured in this sentiment. This is a powerful quote, in my opinion.  The little girl is blowing on a dandelion and making a wish, thus I paired this sentiment about what you wish to see in the world with a child making a wish. The girl, flowers, and grass and shadow outline of the girl are all from the Hero Arts stamp and die set "Wish I May." The background paper is embossed with the Brutus Monroe Vintage Tapestry Embossing Folder. I used Brutus Monroe surface inks in various shades of blue to blend the paper.

I paired a heart stamp from Unity Stamp Company with this sentiment. The stamp was part of the December 2018 Kit of the Month Club set.  I colored in the flowers using various alcohol markers.

I paired a Chess King and Queen from the Unity Stamp Company with this sentiment. The stamp was part of the December 2018 Kit of the Month Club set.  I colored in the chess pieces using various alcohol markers. The background paper is embossed with the Brutus Monroe Aztech Stars Embossing Folder. I used Brutus Monroe surface inks in various shades of red to blend the paper.  I put a few black Nuvo Crystal Drops around the stamped image. My friend Fatimah recommended the sentiment, which reads "You can do amazing things," to instead say "YOU DO AMAZING THINGS."  I used a piece of purple tape to mask the word "can" in the sentiment.  I selected a stamp with chess pieces because I do not know how to play chess and think anybody that understands how to play chess is amazing!
