I love it when stamps are versatile–using them for a page or a card or some other paper craft. That’s exactly what I think about the stamp set A Numbered Account. You can use it for so many different things.
Laura is here to show us a perfect example of it being used in both page and card!
It’s just fantastic how Laura has adapted a photo template to use as a hybrid layout with the stamps! And mixing the numbers with splatters from Inked? Fab, just fab.
And now her cards. Aren’t they adorable? Same song, different verse…as it were. Both projects unique, but similar and equally amazing.
Here’s what Laura has to say:
Hey everyone! I know that Travelers Notebooks have been all the rage for quite a while now, but I have yet to figure out how to work them into the way that I document. So when I saw the Life Crafted albums from Citrus Twist, I knew it would be the perfect solution for me. I can create the smaller TN sized pages/spreads as individual pages – and have the freedom to put them in small albums and move them around as needed.
For my first ever TN sized spread, I pulled together a few photos that I’ve taken before heading into work. I thought they would work for the small story that came to mind when I saw the “the countdown is on” stamp in Kerri’s new A Numbered Account set. I get myself very fixated on time, especially on days that I work. How much time I have to do this, how much time I have to do that, how much time before I have to leave for work, and how much I want to get done in the time I have before I leave, etc, etc.
I arranged several photos in a collage using a template from the Travelers Templates: Wander kit, and typed in my journaling before printing the page out. The template had a little phrase above the journaling, which I took out before printing. In it’s place, I stamped the “the countdown is on” onto a piece of cardstock, trimmed it down, and adhered it above my journaling.
On the opposite page, I stamped the large number cluster along the top of the page, and also stamped it on a scrap piece of cardstock. I trimmed around the stamped image on the scrap paper, and used it as a mask when it came time to stamp my ink splatters, using the awesome Inked stamp set. I love how easy the smaller sized spreads are to put together, and can’t wait to create more of them.
Cards.
I just love the large number cluster in the new A Numbered Account stamp set, and how it can work for so many card sentiments. For these two simple cards, I paired it up with the “you can count on me” from the same stamp set.
I stamped the number cluster onto white cardstock using black ink, trimmed it into a block, and distressed the edges using an edge scraper. I stamped the number cluster on a scrap piece of cardstock and trimmed around the edges of the stamped image. I laid it over the top of the stamped image on my card, and used it as a mask when it came time to stamp my ink splatters, using the awesome Inked stamp set. I love to use my misting sprays, but you just never know where those sprays are going to go. Lol. I love that with the Inked stamps, you have full control over where you put your ink splatters.
I used Kerri’s Labels kit to print out the black labels, and stamped my sentiment onto the one that fit the best size-wise. After assembling my patterned papers on the base of the card, I adhered my number cluster block using dimensional adhesive and adhered my sentiment label below.
