Creating your own patterned paper is simple with stamps, and the size and variety of the Elle’s Studio stamps make it even easier! To create a piece of paper that coordinated with the Shine “Good Times” stripe paper, I used several small stamps from the Cienna Happiness set, as well a heart stamp from the Hello 2015 set. Using navy and turquoise ink, I randomly stamped the images on a piece of 8.5 x 11 card stock, allowing some of them to bleed off the edges.
This custom paper forms the base of my design, to which I added my photos, die cut title, journaling strips, and lots of fun tag accents. A few coordinating buttons helps tie the whole thing together.
Products used: Shine paper collection, Extra Tidbits, Bits & Pieces; Hello 2015 stamps; Cienna Happiness stamps, stickers.
So the next time you can’t find the perfect patterned paper for your project, just grab some Elle’s Studio stamps and create one!
