YAY Stamp and Die Set

The YAY stamp and die set has been one of my very favorite products. I've used it over and over again, long after it retired. It was one of the sets that I absolutely squealed YESSS over when I first saw the list of goodies coming back to us! Click on over to see the details for making fun and easy birthday cards, using the YAY stamp and die set. 

Pinch Love and Sandy Toes

That lobster from the Pinch Love stamp is just such a cool image. It pairs perfectly with the sentiment from Sandy Toes (another super fun summer stamp set!) This was a fun layout to make of my boys at the beach. Click here to check out the details about this summer scrapbook page. 

Snappy Birthday

Another of my favorite summer stamp sets! Snappy Birthday! The crab has the same fun style as the lobster. Lots of little designs and details on the crabs in this stamp set! On this crab I used a few different colors of ink, and added a lot of fun layers to this card. Head over to see the details about this fun layered Snappy Birthday card. 

Magical Journey Prints

Oh man, if you missed the Magical Journey collection the first time around, you are going to LOVE it. I used a combination of stamps on this page, some of which have come back for an encore, but it's the Magical Journey printed paper that really brings this page together. Obviously this collection is PERFECTION for Disney themed crafts, but it's so great for any type of celebration card or craft! (And yes, I might have dressed my child purposely so he would match Disney scrapbook pages.) Stop by this blog post to see more pictures and details about this scrapbook layout!

Summer Fun

Oh man, I LOVE this card. I'll be honest, it still sits on the shelf above my workspace. Pink pineapples? Yes please. The Summer Fun Stamp set is one I'm definitely excited to play with again! (Want to see more pictures and details about the Oh Happy Day pink pineapple card?) 

Fun Filled Prints and Summer Fun

Ahhh, another pineapple from Summer Fun. This set pairs so well with the Fun Filled 6x6 paper pack. Man, I just love this stuff. Bright colors, pineapples and flamingos!? YES PLEASE. This sentiment was from another set that I don't believe is on the Encore list, but that pineapple y'all.... ) Check out the scoop on this Summer Is Here handmade card idea

Thanks for cruising down my crafty memory lane! This ended up being a very bright and summery walk - but bright colors are always my jam! There are a TON of other products on the Encore list, and I'm pretty sure you'll find something you can't live without! Remember these products are all available while supplies last, so don't hold off if there's something you love! You can find all of the Encore products here on the Spellbinders + FSJ website! 

Magical Journey layout {Disney World Scrapbooking}

Living in Florida, I have been spoiled by fairly regular trips to Disney World ever since I was a child. My parents were known to pick me up from school with suitcases packed and say "SURPRISE! We're going to Disney World!" My husband and I even honeymooned at Disney World, and for a few years after we were married, we only lived 15 minutes away - so we spent a lot of afternoons walking around Epcot and enjoyed being a local! 

Bringing our kids to Disney has been so special, because we have TONS of memories there! And there are a LOT of photos to prove it. I loved using FSJ's Magical Journey collection to create a layout of my oldest son (he's much older now - SOB), with his first pair of Mickey ears. LOVE!

I did a lot of layering on this page, but I kept a good bit of white space to balance it out. Plus it keeps the focus on the photo. I will admit, I have been known to dress my family in particular colors, just so that the photos would match my scrapbook pages! This would be one of those occasions! The stripes on his shirt are perfect with the colors and patterns on the page.

 I did some stamping and stamping off (inking the star stamp, and then stamping once on scrap paper before stamping on the layout) to add some shades and dimension. Plus it helps the stars to not be too overwhelming. The die cuts and embellishments all came together so seamlessly, thanks to the awesome products in this collection!

That super fun castle is a stamp, and coordinating die. So I stamped that on white cardstock, and die cut it. The magic wand is a sticker, and then I added a diecut circle with the stamped sentiment.

Although much of the Magical Journey products have retired, Fun Stampers Journey brought back a few returning favorites for an encore! YAY! 

Here are some of the goodies used on today's layout: 

Magical Journey12x12 paper

Laughter Is Timeless - Magical Journeys Collection {FSJ}

Hello friends! I'm so excited to be heading out to Orlando today, for the Fun Stampers Journey Be Amazing Tour, this weekend. I'll even be demoing some projects on stage, and I'm looking forward to hugging my coworkers that I only see every few months, as well as some Journey coaches and crafters who live in this sunshiney state of Florida! 

Today I'd like to share a card that I created with the new Magical Journeys collection from FSJ. You can find the whole collection in our new Journey Trends mini catalog. The collection has a whimsical Walt Disney theme to it, and it is especially fun for Disney World scrapbooks, travel journals, planners, and vacation themed projects. 

For today's card, I first stamped the striped background with clear pigment ink. Then I gently rubbed over the whole thing with Bubble Gum PanPastels. The clear ink will pick up more of the pastel than the plain paper surface, so the color becomes concentrated and rich whenever you've stamped. It's one of my favorite techniques with PanPastels. The sentiment was stamped and die cut and then I added a little colored pencil detail. That red patterned paper is also from the Magical Journeys collection - it's one of my favorite papers in the pack!!! :) 

Thanks for coming by today! I hope you'll go over and check out the new catalog,  And follow our hashtag #BeAmazingTour2016 this weekend, for lots of fun posts and pics from the Be Amazing Tour! Orlando is the last stop of the year! I'm so excited they're coming to my home state! Have a great weekend!
