First we have Raquel from the US “Letting the sunshine in” in her art journal. That pattern on the left is my Space Oddity foam stamp – perfect choice :)

Next is Pinkknitter from the US rocking my Blocks rubber stamp from the Cardboard set in this little piece. I love how she layered it up with stitching!

And here is Krissi from Germany using my Art Deco Wallpaper stamp for her background in this Happy Time spread. “Always be ready for a good time” indeed!

Jill from the US lights our day with this paper lantern using my Santiago stencil. With the holidays coming this is a great project idea for inside or out.

Inspiration from Around the Globe – May 2018

Ready for some inspiration? Today we have some projects from around the globe. It’s always fun to see how you’re using my stamps and stencils and I am so happy to share some examples today. So let me know if you’re doing something cool with my products, and you might see yours on the next Inspiration from Around the Globe!


First from the US we have a gorgeous little book for Earth Day by Tina Walker (who was a member of our Creative Squad and you can check out some of her other projects HERE). On this page she is using my Versailles stencil for the background.

Here she uses my Toledo stencil as a background pattern for another page.

Next is an art journal spread from Mary Thoma in the US also. I love this portrait and the use of my Batik Pattern 4 foam stamp for the bold background and that little chain border is my Chain Link rubber stamp from the Embroidery set. What a beautiful page!

Loving all these patterns from Kate Crane in the UK! She’s using my Marks stamp set for those red and black xxx marks and hash marks.

Here is a beautiful page from Ellen Captijn from the Netherlands, inspired by this year’s Creative JumpStart online workshop. Be sure to visit her Instagram page to see the full art journal spread. I love how she’s incorporated by Buenos Aires Border foam stamp along the bottom in blue and my Valley Road foam stamps along the right side.

And finally we have an “oldie but a goodie” from Louise Nelson in Australia. She reposted this layout from 2013 so we thought we’d give it some love too :)  That awesome texture in the background is none other than my Crackle stencil – one of my first stencil designs and always a fan favorite after all these years! Thank you Louise!


Thank you to all the talented artists!  If you’d like to give some of these ideas a try, here are the stamps and stencils that they used:

First up is a super lovely and colorful art journal spread from Barbaree King in Florida. Her Creative JumpStart inspired page uses my circular Grove Street ArtFoamies stamps for an unexpected background.

Next we have an art journal spread from Jeannine Stein at Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine in Massachusetts. She’s created a lush background and stamped over it with my Brownstone and Lady Liberty stamps. Love it!!!

Here we have some awesome tissue paper stamping action by Sue Sharp from Canada! She drew inspiration from a lesson in Creative JumpStart and used the stamps from my Marks stamp set.

From the UK we have a gorgeous art journal spread from Frieda Oxenham with one of my favorite icons of the NYC skyline :) and 2 cool ways to use my Chicago stencil for the background and border.

And finally, a celebration of pattern in her art journal by Valerie Teele in California. She was playing along with Creative JumpStart and used my Manhattan and New Orleans stencils :)


I hope you enjoyed these projects and feel inspired to do some creative play yourself! Here are the stamps and stencils that were used:

First we have a few “stroll-velopes” by Judi Kauffman from Washington DC to share with you.

She also used my Tread and Pie Top stamps and my Love Knots stamp.

Here is Marlynn from Virginia with a powerful art journal spread. Love how she used my Brownstone, Warehouse, and Main Station stamps for that cityscape. And I see a bit of my Tread stamp in there too!

Here is Linda Edkins Wyatt from NYC and her gorgeous art journal spread using my Broadway foam stamp set. I just love it in purple!

From Mary Thoma in Oklahoma, we’ve got this great little “catch” using my Art Deco Wallpaper stencil, and inspired by one of our Creative JumpStart lessons :)

And finally we have two lovely art cards from Frieda Oxenham from Scotland. She is using my Marks stamp set in these – X marks the spot :)
