Sprinkle it with fabulous by Stephanie Schütze

Hi there, it’s Stephanie here today with a card I made with the stamps „Paper art“ I designed for Whiff of Joy.

Before I show you my project I want to introduce myself.

My name ist Stephanie Schütze, maybe you know me as scrapmanufaktur, born in Germany. For seven years now I am living with my husband and my two sweet daughters in Switzerland (Canton St. Gallen). Since the birth of my second child I have taken a time out from my job as psychologist in the usability field and enjoy the additional time to be more creative.

I am a scrapbooker with a great touch of mixed media and an art journaler with a passion to draw. Not one day passes without me being creative and even a puzzle peace is not safe from my creativity. I love to scrap with mixed media, draw cards and create all kinds of decoration. As long as color and paper are in play I am happy.

I gained DT and publication experience (with the Scrap-Art-Zine (german scrapbooking magazine), Scrapbook Adhesives by 3l, Ingvild Bolme,...) and have been published in several art magazines (Somerset Memories Stampington, Art Journaling Stampington,...). I love to teach classes to give away my fun and inspirations.

Stamps are my new adventure and I'm looking forward even more to draw, and then to see one or the other drawing on a stamp for you. Thank you Katharina Frei and Whiff of Joy for the opportunity and that they believed in me.

You can see more of my work on: http://scrapmanufaktur.blogspot.ch/

I’m so excited about my new stamps and I’m honored to show you some examples with it.

Usually I use stamps for mixed media backgrounds but sometimes the stamps are also my motives on my cards and are the focus.

This is a quick and simple card using the brushes stamp from the „paper art“ collection and several colors of Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels.

I stamped on a regular white paper and let drop some colors from Glimmer Mist on the brush ends and let it run. I cut the sheet and sewed it on to two different pieces of paper. Finally I added a quote from a sentiment sticker.

I hope I have given you some inspiration and you will give the stamps a try.
