PhotoPlay Here & There Stamped Cards


Hi all, it's Annie and today I'm back with a few more cards featuring the gorgeous stamps and dies from PhotoPlay's new Here & There Collection.


I'm a sucker for monarch butterflies, so I couldn't help but color up the beautiful images for this card in different shades of orange and red.


One of the fabulous surprises in this stamp set was a preprinted coloring card.  The images were dark and crisp and my Copic markers blended beautifully on the cardstock!  After coloring all of the images I was going to use on my cards, I stamped one of the sentiments on the preprinted banner, and then die cut everything out using the coordinating dies.


The butterflies were used to draw attention to my focal image - a sentiment from the cardstock sticker sheet in the collection surrounded by a frame from the ephemera pack.  I added a few additional butterfly stickers and a spray of paper mini blossoms around the image as well.


The background is created from some of the antique map cardstock from the collection, matted with a bit of Espresso Bean cardstock.  Before adhering the entire card front to a 5" x 7" card base, I added a little orange and lace ribbon from my stash and a chipboard sentiment.


For the second card, I wanted to emulate the look of a postcard, so I started by matting a piece of blue patterned cardstock with Ecru cardstock, followed by the striped patterned cardstock to create a 5" x 7" cardbase.


I popped the colored biplane image up with its sentiment banner in the lower right corner and balanced the card design with a banner popped up in the opposite corner made with elements from the ephemera pack.


For fun, I "stamped" the postcard with a chipboard stamp!

I hope you enjoyed these fun stamped travel cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  Be sure to visit the FotoBella store and pick up this beautiful collection today!
