Hey, CK Blog Readers! I’m Jodi Sanford, owner and founder of Fancy Pants Designs, and today’s guest blogger! I love scrapbooking and papercrafting! Since our company’s first release in 2005, we’ve seen and designed some really exciting innovations in the industry that have given crafters the chance to really expand their creativity and personal expression in scrapbooking and design!
Here at Fancy Pants, we like to think we are crafty, so at every release we try to create products that will be used for scrapbookers and crafters alike! We’ve released some really fun things over the years and some super-sized stamps happen to be one of them! So, my technique today is on stamping and a peek at just a couple of the endless options that stamps offer.
In my first project, I’ve used one of our new ‘embellishable’ frames to create a framed scrapbook for my daughter’s wall. Using Staz-on ink, we stamped the big corner stamp from our Bella Brush 12×12 set (below) right on the frame and scrapbooked the rest of the design.
Unlike glass frames, you can stamp, scrapbook and even stitch directly on the center of this frame!
Next, I want to share a stamped layout. This page is one of my favorites! I love the crafty side of it with the stitching and ribbon, but most of all, I love that I could make so many unique accents with the stamps….and color them to match my page.
This stamp set, On A Whimsy (below), is great for adding your own color accents.
I just used a set of colored pencils to accent the stamps and added the borders around my photos to add some color pop! I loved how this page turned out with a touch of whimsy, but a nice crafty look, too!
I hope these ideas have inspired you and given you ideas to try on your own pages. For more ideas using our stamps and many other products, please visit us at our blog!
Happy stamping!
Jodi Sanford

I make framed items, though nothing too fancy. (No pun intended–I love FP!)

I like to stamp on the glass of frames for theme/holiday frames. I used halloween stamps and easter so far. Easy and fun decorations.

Thanks Jodi for such a fun/crafty idea! For home decor I’m just about to start a framed butterfly collage that Ali Edwards shared on her blog awhile back. Using scrapbooking supplies is truly an easy/ cute way to add color and pizazz for so cheap.

my mother loves to buy those mexican wall decors on bargain shops, they are cool too::,
candle holders that are made of porcelain or brass are very nice looking but a bit expensive compared to cast iron:.:
the wall decors that we use at home are always related to plants and animals designs _
I can’t however agree. I always wished to write in my site something similar to that but I reckon you’r faster.
