Stamps and inks storage

In order to be able to scrap whenever I feel like, I have to have my stuff more or less organised, I can't handle chaos (creatively speaking).

So, here's how I store stamps and inks. Maybe not perfectly organised but it works for me!

In the front I keep all my unmounted stamps in an ikea box, according to category (ie flowers, birds, etc). In this box I also keep a stamp cleaner and next to it a couple of spritzers and paints.

Then I keep my wooden stamps, I have a few of them because they take up a lot of space so I rarely buy this type of stamps.

Towards the back of the drawer I keep two containers, one on the right with the inks for my distress ink pads and one on the left with various inks.

On top of evetything I place my Fiskars stamp press, an acrylic stamp block, the Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad I use all the time and the Ranger's Rubit stamp cleaning pad.

I also made a couple of blocs from stamp paper, I had many leftovers from various projects so I binded them together and I have them all in one place.

As for my distress ink pads, I keep them separately in little drawers on my desk because I use them constantly.

That's it for now,  I hope you are all well and thriving!

Pink card!

Here's a little card I made for a friend of mine

(You have already seen it if you follow me on instagram or twitter).

I used the Gina K stamps set "A year of flowers"

A little bit of coloring with my copic markers...

And ready!

That's it for now,  I hope you are all well and thriving! 

Butterfly Mini Album

Happy Easter friends and with no further ado here's a mini album i made for my niece.

I started with the album i got a while back from sfragidomania

And here's the result, page by page!

I thought it will be perfect for a few pictures from her first year at school, a keepsake for the years to come!

I put it in a little bag I made, here's the link to my post if you're interested to see how  I made it.

That's it for now,  I hope you are all well and thriving!

Καλή Ανάσταση!

DIY Starbucks Tumbler!

Spring coming I decided I needed a springy Starbucks tumbler fot my coffee, so, a few copics later and a lot of ink stains on my hands, here is the result!

I started by stamping the paper insert. On second thought I should have used Stazon because the paper is quite glossy and the ink smudged s bit, but, what's done is done.

Then, I lightly colored the background with distress inks and then, my copics had a party!

Here's the finished tumbler.

That's it for now, I hope you are all well and thriving!

Cute bag!

While I was making a mini album for a gift I realized that I needed a cute little bag to put it in.

So, after trying this and that, I ended up with...

Isn't it pretty? Here's how I did it (no measurements unfortunately because it was an experiment, I had no idea what I would end up with!).

1. I took a 12 inches paper and used my ruler diagonally to mark the base of the bag. Then I cut about 2-3 inches along the mark lines on each corner. Finally I cut a piece of the flaps on the left and on the right.

2. I glued the flaps.

3. Then I glued the center strip, folded it inwards and glued that piece as well.

4. Here's the result after doing both corners.

5. I also reinforced the top of the bag with two strips of paper because I didn't want it to be torn. Not that the mini album is that heavy but better be safe than sorry!

6. I also reinforced the bottom corners.

7. I embellished the top with a border punch.

8. I punched a hole on the corner, added a gromlet and then added a bow on the inside to hide the back side of the gromlet.

What do you think of it?

That's it for now, I hope you're all well and thriving!
