Hello, my friends! It’s Junell here, and I am so delighted to show you a layout I made highlighting the Lizzy Alphabet Stamp! I’m pretty sure I jumped up and down and hugged this stamp set when I received it in the mail! It is just so whimsical and pretty and I also decided that every layout I make from here on out will use this stamp set. That’s how much I love it! And it has stars, hearts, sparkles, a fun scalloped border, a rainbow, plus numbers and symbols! Hello! This set is a must have!

To start off, I knew I wanted to create a large quote background using the Lizzy Alphabet Stamp. One of my favorite quotes is by author Regina Brett. “If you don’t want regrets at the end of your life, have no regrets at the end of each day.” I’ve had this quote written on an index card in my scraproom for years and I thought it would be perfect to showcase the Lizzy Alphabet Stamp and also a picture of myself and my husband getting out there and riding bikes after a lazy day.
I spent some time picking out colors of Distress Oxide that would work best for the stamping. I wanted it to match as much as possible with the papers from the Adventure Paper Stack that I would be using for the layering. I chose Crackling Campfire, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch, and Stormy Sky. I think these colors are spot on.
I knew it would take some time to stamp this quote out and I didn’t want to waste any time stamping where it would be covered up, so I began by printing out my picture and creating some layers using the Adventure Paper Stack, August 2021 Kit and Proud Of You Die Cuts. I layered it all up and adhered it together, but not to my page just yet. I placed it on my 12 x 12 inch background and then used a pencil to outline where it would go, so I wouldn’t waste my time stamping behind it.
I used a pencil to lightly draw lines across my page and then got to stamping. I didn’t want to make it too difficult to read, so I used one color for each word and then rotated among the colors I picked out. I did not stamp in the pencil outline I made for the layers. I let it dry for a little bit and then erased all my pencil marks.
I trimmed the edges of my white paper to make it look like the words were going off the page and then adhered it to gray 12 x 12 inch cardstock. I popped up my layers with some foam and placed it in the center where I wanted it and adhered that down. After that, I had fun embellishing and creating little clusters with the die cuts from the August 2021 Kit, Proud Of You Die Cuts and Chipboard Circle Stickers.
I love how my layout turned out! It’s bright, whimsical, and fun! I cannot wait until you get this awesome Lizzy Alphabet Stamp in your hands and start creating with it! I promise you will love it! Thank you for reading!
