LOL! That tile makes me laugh! I’m featuring three stamp sets this week, and the names are too long to write all of them completely in the title so I shortened them. I like the silliness of how it worked out! Masterpiece Monday is the day where I share some of our designer artwork featuring Layers of Color art stamps. Today I’m showing you a few magnificent samples of three of our new release stamp sets, Granny’s Jewelry, Flutterescent and Flowering Gems. After getting a yummy taste of these wonderful ideas, please head on over to the galleries to see the rest of the fabulous artwork!
Adding bling to cards and artwork is hot right now!
These stamp sets are perfect for adding sparkle, in fact two of them are specifically designed for bling! Granny’s Jewelry and Flowering Gems are what I have named, “Gemstone it!” sets! The stamp designs have varied-sized circles in the perfect spots for adding gemstones, glitter, pearls, clear dots, decorative brads, or rhinestone stickers.
Granny’s Jewelry is a very unique and exciting design because it’s created for you to make “jewelry” embellishments for your projects! It’s such fun, you should try it! I designed them after vintage jewelry like my Grandmother would wear. You can make a real jewelry look without the high cost of using actual antiques by stamping with metallic ink, metallic embossing, or Brilliance inks then adding your favorite gemstone options. Try it on dark papers so the paper shows through like the deep recesses of jewelry parts. Cut them out and apply to ribbon as well. And if you’re fresh out of gemstones, try Stickles by Ranger (they build up round like jewels), or color in the dots with markers or colored pencils and cover with clear dots or Glossy Accents by Ranger. So many fun ways to “Gemstone It!” Later this week I’ll show you more examples and how-tos for this dazzling stamp set!
Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s inspiration! Be sure to pop into the Granny’s Jewelry, Flutterescent and Flowering Gems stamp set galleries for more great new ideas!
May God bless your week with sparkling moments of joy!









Such gorgeous creations by everyone, and I love the uniqueness of each stamp set. They are SO fun to work with! Blessings,
Wonderful work, girls. Now how am I going to survive without those stamps….. hmmm, will be selling some cards later in the week, so just maybe I can treat myself… Blessings to you all. Maxine
I just love the butterflies, and Grandma’s jewelry is so fun.
Hello Laura – what beautiful gems you have created with these stamps – they are just like my Nana’s jewellery…when my Nana went to be with the Lord we all got one of her treasured jewells….as I worked with these images, it reminded me of these treasures – thank you for being such an inspiring artist – I love to work along side you! God bless you Laura!! {{{hugs}}}
AAACK, even MORE wonderful inspiration Laura!! I know Lisa got this set and I really had no idea how to use it, but I see all the embossing and GEMS added and it really DOES look like broaches (SP?) That is soo neat. Yet another set I want now, LOL! Your sets are just awesome Laura. I didn’t know at first if they were my style, but I’m SOOO LOVING THEM! Every single set, I am loving more and more. And now I want the reindeer waltz and the granny’s gems and the floral sets and… LOL – You’ve definately turned me into a happy customer. THANK YOU!
