Today I share my March spreads of my personal Project Life® album over at papierprojekt.de.
It's written in German but if you just want to look at pictures, it doesn't matter.

 

PAPIERPROJEKT - planner page

Today I am over at papierprojekt.de where I share how I put together my monthly planner page.

Please note: I got these stamps for free, but I only support what I love and would also buy.

I designed some stamps

Back in April 2016 Felicitas from PAPIERPROJEKT reached out to everyone on her creative team and told us, that we had the chance to design some stamps. We delivered the ideas and she made them happen. This was the perfect opportunity to finally get those stamps I wanted so much while making cards and gift tags. I wanted some basic words and phrases like "happy Birthday", "for you", "from", "all the best",...Today I show you how my first draft looked like and some ideas how you can use this stamp set. So far it's only available in German. But there might be an English version some time in the future. We will see.

I immediately began to sketch out my ideas when I was invited to design my own stamp set. This is the first draft from April 2016.

A few days before the deadline to hand in our ideas (which was in May 2016) I made a final sketch.

Based on my sketch, Felicitas designed the stamp set "Glückwunsch". And I am in love! It is perfect. Exactly what I had envisioned but even better.

 

My main goal with this stamp set was, that you (and I) can combine all those different stamps with each other. These are just a few examples of how you can use them. I am a big fan of black ink when it comes to stamping. But sometimes I like to add a bit of color. Especially when I want to overlap different words over each other.

To punch out the circle you can use a 1 1/4" circle punch. I prefer a white border around the stamped image.

I really wanted an empty circle in my stamp set which I can use in combination with other stamps from PAPIERPROJEKT.

Another way how you can use the stamps is to create a pattern. Just stamp on a card over and over with a lighter color and then with a darker color stamp the same word/s once again somewhere in the middle. Here I also added a pop of color.

I am SO excited about this stamp set and I am sure I will use it a lot. You can get it here in PAPIERPROJEKT's shop. And while you are there don't forget to check out the other designs from the team: Meeresbrise, Aus dem Leben, Kleinigkeiten and Naturalis.

PAPIERPROJEKT - CREATIVE TEAM CALL 2017

I guess it's no secret that I really really love the stamps from PAPIERPROJEKT. I am part of the creative team since the beginning which was in 2014. Last year my role switched from just creating as part of the creative team to more behind the scenes work but I still play regularly with those stamps. PAPIERPROJEKT is a small one-woman company from Germany. The stamps are very well designed, the quality is fantastic and I love that they are available in German and English. Beautiful German stamps are a rarity and PAPIERPROJEKT fills the gap in this area perfectly.

And now PAPIERPROJEKT is looking for a new creative team for 2017. Rule #1 is, that you have to be German-speaking. But if this is the case and if you love memory-keeping and would be part of this amazing creative team, I highly recommend that you take a look at all the information here and hand in your application.

PAPIERPROJEKT - simple gift tags

Today I am over at papierprojekt.de where I share a tutorial for these simple gift tags. I made them for my homemade rhubarb sirup which I gave away to friends and family back in June.
