Online Exclusives | The Maui Stamper

I’m still playing with Designer Series Paper, and found a fun way to add a little interest. I’ve cut this sheet from Hello Irresistible into tiles and reassembled them as a background. An embellished sentiment from Textured Floral is all it needs!

Stamps: Textured Floral
Color Palette: Basic White, Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral
Accessories: Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper, Stylish Shapes dies, Stamp Cut and Emboss machine, White Bakers Twine, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Each tile is 1 1/4″ x 1 5/8″. You can use a pencil line, washi tape, or your trusty eyeballs to get them straight. I like to lay everything out before I adhere it, then put down the left and right top corners. Then I center the middle piece on those two.

I’ll do the left row top to bottom next in the same way. Once those two lines are set, the rest are easy to match up. It sounds harder than it is, trust me!

Lemon Lolly is my new favorite ink. Well. This week it is. Ask me in a few more days.

All my die envelopes are labeled with BIG letters. It doesn’t take much time, and it saves me a lot of hunting and bad-word-muttering. (Never fear, this would be things like “dang it” and “rats”. I’ve cleaned up quite a bit.)

Inked and Tiled is my new top-of-desk fave! Today those flowers make a super-bloom meadow for my July DIY Easel calendar:

A Handmade desktop calendar for July 2023 with a field of yellow flowers

Stamps: Inked & Tiled, Lighting the Way
Color Palette: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Parakeet Party
Accessories: Daubers, paper snips, masking paper

I use daubers to apply the ink to the stamps. They’re faster than markers, and I think the coverage is better. After I stamped them on the calendar, I stamped the flowers again on masking paper and fussy cut them with my snips to mask the flowers. Such a mindless activity when you’re on hold (forever, and ever, and ever, and ever) with the tax department.

I ink the stem with the daubers first, then use Lemon Lolly on the top of the flower. I dip the edge of a dauber in Daffodil Delight and carefully add it to the base of the blossom. (Sometimes more carefully than other times!)

The background is stamped with an image from Lighting the Way – I think it’s a lightning bug swarm. I used Lemon Lime Twist, stamped off once to keep it soft and in the background. The background mat is Parakeet Party, because I liked it better.
