Stamp Inspiration from Jennifer Chapin

jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(11)Hello! It’s Jennifer Chapin, and today on the blog I am sharing a little stamping inspiration with you. Elle’s Studio has so many great stamps to choose from and I wanted to challenge myself to use them in a Project Life spread.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(10)I gathered a few supplies – January’s exclusive kit + stamp set, and the Sycamore Lane stamp set as well as the calendar cards from Hello 2015.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(12)One of my favorite ways to use stamps is to create a pattern on a 3×4 journaling card. I started by stamping once in blue ink, then creating a repetitive pattern with dark pink ink.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(6)I love this technique! A homemade journaling card in no time flat that can be customized to fit your color theme.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(2)I also used the star stamp from the Hello 2015 Stamp set to highlight the days of my spread on the 2015 calendar card.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(4)I stamped the tag stamp from January’s exclusive set in black ink on white cardstock, then cut out and used as an embellishment with some stitching.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(7)On this card from the January kit, I stamped each day on the calendar with numbers and shapes. Love the way it turned out!
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(9)I also wanted to share some stamp organization tips. When I am organizing my supplies – whether it is stamps, stickers, paper or journaling cards – for me if it is out of sight, it’s out of mind. I found this 6×8 3 ring binder at an office supply store and purchased clear page protectors as well. I can slide the larger Elle’s Studio stamp sets in these and they fit perfectly! For the smaller sets, I either add two to a pocket or use a 4×4 page protector with holes punched to fit the rings.
jenchapin-focus-on-stamp-(8)I love this method because I can quickly flip through and find the stamps I need to fit my project. I hope I’ve inspired you today to pull out those stamps and use them on a project!
