Article in Craft Stamper Magazine

I'm really pleased to be able to say that I have had another article published in Craft Stamper Magazine. I have made 4 really simple cards using masking techniques. I really hope people like it.
here are a couple of little sneak peeks. The first uses a stamp from PaperArtsy

and the second uses a stamp from Crafty Individuals


In the article I mentioned that this technique could be used on different types of card. I have made this next card using a slightly textured card, I chose to use the distress inks Mustard Seed, Peeled paint and Faded Jeans.

I have also taken the technique one step further. Before removing the post-it notes, I stamped the script stamp from HP1004 (paperartsy), I then used the twig stamp from HP1008 for the foliage detail.

I also had a little card in the Idea Gallery to represent Happy Daze. I used Moon Girl from stampotique for a bling theme, using pink and silver, and here's a little peek.

The magazine is out today, I'd love to here what people thought

  1. Lovely, Joanne - must try to see that. I use masking a lot and used to teach it as a cheap way of getting more out of your stamps. Bet it's a fab article.

  8. As you already know Joanne, I loved the article & made my own versions for you. Great technique & very stylish. I've decided to cut my own templates from acrylic so I always have the shapes to hand.

  10. Hi Joanne How did I miss these? they are really great. Congratulations it's lovely to see your work in print and well deserved here. I love this little lot, especially the twig with green and mustard, so gorgeous. I wanted that elegant twig stamp but wasn't sure about the rest of them on the plate, have you used yours much? :D xxx

  11. I thought your article was outstanding!
    Am definitely going to have a try at this style of card :-)
    So many times simple chic is just so much more than the sum of it parts - I think!
    You're the maths expert did I get it right? I struggled to get O level maths, and you did a maths degree just for fun - gulp :-0
