Last night I crept into my room because I got a flash of inspiration while thinking about the new Bird collage stamps from Hero Arts. I thought to myself, I'm going to see if I can make my own as a personal little Christmas stamp, so I did.
After I did the stamping, I scanned it and printed it out on patterned paper and made this tag. This way I can use the image in all sizes and print it out endlessly. I suppose its now a digital stamp!
Stamps used are Robin from Artistic Outpost stamp plate 'Birds of a feather', which can be found here, bird sentiment is Crafty Individuals as well as the postmark, the holly stamp is unknown to me and the script is from Aladin, a French make.
My second card today is one I made last week as I was playing with the Paris Rose ArtPrints stamp from Hero Arts
I might have to adapt this one to Christmas too.
Have a lovely weekend! My two sons are returning home for Christmas from Holland tomorrow, haven't seen them for three months so I hope the weather will remain o.k. for the journey!
Oh yes, I got a very nice Christmas gift from Sue yesterday with Beautiful tags from Melissa Frances, a gorgeous collage stamp, bits and pieces and this beautiful material cone, which I have hung on the Christmas tree. I am totally overwhelmed by the generosity of a lot of American women, I think you lead in the whole world!

ReplyDeleteoh, wat naar dat je ziek was! Hoop dat het nu beter gaat?
ReplyDeleteJe hebt toch mooie dingen gemaakt. Soms moet je gewoon he, zelfs al lig je dan in bed, inpiratie gaat gewoon door ;)
Goede reis voor je zoons. Het is nu droog hier in zuidwestnederland, en de wegen zijn aardig schoon van het zout en de zon.
Goed weekend en beterschap nog als je dit nodig hebt!
Hello Jaqueline,
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas card! Very nice colours, I like that pink.
The Paris Rose ArtPrints stamps are lovely. I think you can make totally different kind of creations with them.
Have a very nice weekend, together with all of your children!
Greetings, Judith
Jacqueline, can you believe I had the exact same idea to try and mimic that new bird collage stamp? The difference is, I didn't follow through - I love your idea and may work on it today. Feel better soon!

ReplyDeletebetter soon.
Thanks for sharing your collage idea. I have been tempted to buy collage stamps so many times -- and then thought to myself, "I can make that with the stamps I have."
You've given me inspiration to try my hand at it. I hadn't thought of scanning it to reuse it -- brilliant!
Gorgeous collage card, Jacqueline! I hope your throat feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous creations! You are a wonder! Hope your infection goes away real soon! Take care my friend!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful collage stamping and such a brilliant idea to scan it to print on lovely papers for many different looks...your creativity is always so amazing! I will have to get out my Paris Rose stamp and start playing again, I just love the results you get with it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time with your sons, my heart is rejoicing with you as there is nothing so wonderful as seeing our children after they've been away for awhile.
Hoping you will be feeling better really soon (I've been down this week too with a nasty cold).
bless you, dear friend!
I hope you are feeling a bit better.
ReplyDeleteI love your work; your creations are stunning and I'm impressed by your talents. These projects are gorgeous. Pink and brown are a perfect ( and classic) color combo and the soft shades of green and pink on the second one is one of my favorite color schemes. Love it!
Enjoy your presents!
So creative! Glad you are feeling better! What a great idea and I love that you scanned it and turned it digital! I hope your sons are able to make it home!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon. I love how you create your own collage stamp. It´s so much more fun til create one selves. Your other card is beautiful too.

both are so pretty! love your home made stamps! hope you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are absolutely exquisite! I truly cannot remember the last time I was so inspired! Ordinarily I am not drawn to vintage collage, but you have mastered the art to a new level! Thank you so much for sharing! I desperately want to subscribe for your blog posts, but for some reason lately everytime I try to click on the "posts" at the bottom all I get is a page of text. I have not had the opportunity to solve the problem, but know that you have a HUGE fan that is in awe of your talent!
