Hello, Elle’s Studio fans! You may have recently purchased one of our newest stamps, the Thin Labels Stamp, along with its coordinating Metal Die! If you need some inspiration to help you to take out those stamps and create, we think that these five ideas will give you that push that you need!
Create a column
Design team member Kat Benjamin had the great idea to stamp the labels in the colors shown in her photos, then create a BIG column of labels to hold her journaling all of the way down the page. It creates a fun and playful look!
Add a background layer
Who said that labels must include journaling or a date? There are no rules with these staples, and Jen McMurtrey shows us here just how perfect they are as a background layer to your embellishment or titles!
Color-block
Color-blocking is a great design technique to use to keep your embellishments neat and orderly on your project, and we love the way that Suzanna Lee color-blocked her stamped Thin Labels with a patterned paper from our Thankful Paper Stack and embellishments from our September kit and add-ons.
Embellish the edge
Stamp a few labels in colors to coordinate with your project and add to the edge of your page, cutting off the excess, as Wei Wei Wang did here. This not only adds a bit of extra embellishment but also delineates the edge of your page!
Create a cool background
Wei Wei had another great idea for these stamped labels: use them to create a cool geometric background! Come up with a unique color scheme as she did here, stamp a design, then embellish with simple shapes, like stars!
No matter how you choose to use them, we think the Thin Labels Stamp and Metal Die will quickly become staples in your stash and we can’t wait to see them on your projects! Be sure to share them with us on Instagram using the #EllesStudio hashtag, or in the Elle’s Studio Facebook Group!
