Below are pages from The Stampers' Sampler, February / March 2005.
You'll be seeing orange all year long in this amazing journal created by Rachel Jackson of Wirral, England. From a blank spiral bound book, she has created an elaborate paper project with stamps, card stock and an exceptional use of eyelets! The publisher loved this piece! Especially because of all the detail elements Rachel has included. Even if you're not inspired to create your own journal, you'll find dozens of unique and ingenious ideas for card art.
Second only to her passion for rubber stamping, Linda Ross from Phoenix, AZ has been collecting postage stamps for years. Part paper appliqué and part philatelic project, the collection of cards shown here each contains an image created from an assembly of favorite posts. Fittingly, she has themed the post for the stamp image. Just take a look at lady liberty. She is made up of tiny American flag stamps. And the holiday sphere has posts from Christmas past inside.
Discover the Different Points of View these artists achieved with house and floral images.
Easter will soon be upon us. Come see what ideas our readers have for stamping Easter Celebrations this year.
