I had such a magical time creating three unique handmade cards using beautiful paper collections and stamps gifted to me by Stamperia. Each card features a distinct theme—from enchanted forests to dreamy mermaids to whimsical wonderlands—and showcases how versatile their products can be across different styles. Whether you love florals, fantasy, or fairy tales, there’s a Stamperia collection that speaks your creative language!

For the first card, I used the Hidden Grove 8x8 paper pad to build a soft and natural look. I trimmed a leafy, starry sky pattern to 4" x 5¼", then added texture using the Big Leaves stencil and some Breakup Blue Lunar Paste. I stamped floral images from the Blossoms Dewdrop stamp set in a rich brown ink and fussy cut them out. After adding white splatters and allowing the panel to dry, I layered the florals with a floral ATC ephemera piece that reads “Happiness” and adhered everything to an A2 card base. It’s a simple yet serene card with so much depth and texture.

My second card took a dreamy dive under the sea using the Songs of the Sea collection. I started by blending Chipped Sapphire, Blueprint Sketch, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides over a piece of light blue cardstock for an oceanic ombré effect. A spritz of Fossilized Amber added an ethereal shimmer. Once dry, I stamped the beautiful mermaid image in a deep blue Twilight ink and layered coordinating ephemera pieces along the bottom for a full underwater scene. A few additional stamped details finished off the card, which I mounted on a white A2 card base to give it a clean border.

For the third card, I embraced whimsy with the Alice in Wonderland collection. I trimmed a heart-patterned paper from the 12x12 pad and distressed the edges with Vintage Photo ink to add an aged feel. I layered in several ephemera pieces, including images from the Through the Looking Glass collection. The Queen of Hearts took center stage, popped up with foam adhesive for dimension. I finished the card with a touch of sparkle by adding ruby glitter Pops of Color around the panel. It’s bold, nostalgic, and filled with storybook charm.
