Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up! Blog Hop - Stamped background

 

Hello and Welcome to Lovescrappin with Tina Parsons.

Welcome to the Scrapbooking Global April 2025 blog hop. Thank you so much for joining us. This month was my turn to choose a theme and I love to make my own stamped backgrounds.

You may have started at the end of the hop at Michele"s Craft Cottage .

I love to see what I can do with my stamps, so get them out and play along.

I got out some older word stamp sets and now we have some new ones in the Online Exclusives, so there is a lot to choose from.

If you use an A4 sheet of card stock and stamp all over using different stamps and ink colours you can make the background fit your photos. 

Do some 1st and 2nd generation stamping to use as fillers with script & splatter stamps. Here are some examples to get you started, then tear some A4 colour cardstock to line up with your white A4 you stamped, so easy. (see the toadstool layout)

    

Stamp the base images in sets of 3 or a triangle pattern to make it pleasing the eye, start with bigger images first then work down to smaller images.

Then add script and splatter stamps, use a black marker pen to do some doodle lines around the outer edge of the A4 cardstock so some sponging if you like as well.

Here is a close up of the stamping and embellishing. 

Here is another layout I have done, stamping the bottom section of the 12x12.

I used a mix of new and old supplies.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed my take on a stamped background. Hop on over to Handmade by Julia Quinn  to see what she has created and then continue along for more inspiration.
