Stamping some Gorjuss cards ...
Once upon a time I used to make lots of cards.
It was my go to craft. I used stamps and CD-ROMs (which I have currently fallen out of love with) and sold them at local fairs (never that successfully!). Mostly I just used them for friends and families birthdays and Christmas.
A couple of years ago I whittled down my stamp collection to those that I actually used and took them in a new direction... the Pro-Marker direction. I loved the physical stamping with ink and colouring in the images. I have a collection now of around 30 pro-markers in a variety of shades. I was never really that interested in stamps of 'figures' before, but now with some good colouring pens I have opened the door to them.
My current favourites are the Gorjuss stamps by Santoro.
I love the style in which Suzanne Woolcott draws these characters and finds the balance between whimsical, feminine and adorable yet with a strong sense of strength and confidence.
I used the sets 'I ripped your heart out' and 'You brought me love'.
These are rubber cling stamps that you use with an acrylic block.
I tend to prefer to make simple, uncomplicated cards - I hope you like them too :-)

I purchased all the items used with my own money. All opinions are my own, this is NOT a sponsored post :-)

I made these cards over a few days when I could find the time and am pleased with the results.
