Guest Designer Spotlight ~ Amanda Southern

Hello everyone :) Before I get to sharing some art from Amanda just a quick note to let you know that I've restocked my shelves. Many stamps that were "Out of Stock" on my Website are now available including: Water Droplets, Water Droplets 2, Sea Bubbles Set, Kelp, Koi Set, Raindrop Set and Trickling Water Set. A big Thank You for being patient with me. Managing my inventory has been quite the learning curve. I think I'm getting it slowly ;)

Now on to today's spotlight... A few weeks ago Amanda Southern kindly sent in a couple of projects that she had made using my stamps. Right away I was blown away by her use of Trickling Water Set and invited her to do a Guest Designer Spotlight. Didn't she get the drops to look wet in these?! Just gorgeous! You can visit her blog post Here.

I sent a couple of stamps to Amanda and this is what she came up with using Raindrop Set and Spiral Shell... The text in the drops really stood out to me. Also loved the combo of Sprial Shell with real shells.

This second card uses Spiral Shell with Sea Bubbles Set. Amanda's created a neat contrast between black and white and the colourful centre piece. Notice how she added white to the middle layer to blend the two? Great idea!

A little bit about the artist...

Hi, my name is Amanda and I live near Southport in Lancashire with my partner, 2 dogs and 15 chickens. I have been paper crafting since 2009 where it started with a bit of a dabble, now I am totally addicted and get extremley frustrated that I just don't get enough time to play. My style of paper crafting is a bit like my choices in music, it just depends what mood I am in or who has inspired me. Love Amanda X

Amanda posts all kinds of creations to her Blog. I highly recommend a visit. It's full of inspiration!

Thanks so much for popping by. Please do leave a comment if you are inspired to. I always love hearing from you. Bye for now :)

Some Inspiration from You

Hello everyone! The weekend is almost here and I am off to the country for a family reunion. I hope we continue to get sunny weather. Perhaps not as hot as it has been here lately. Yesterday with the humidity it felt like 45 degrees! 

Before I head off into the land of no internet, electricity or plumbing I've got some more projects to share with you using stamps from my collection. As always a big thank you to everyone who has shared their creations :)

My store will be operating as usual while I am gone from Friday to Sunday so feel free to pop by for a visit. I will answer any emails that you send my way when I return to civilization next week (Monday). Also, a quick note about Out of Stock stamps... They are on their way from my manufacturers and I am aiming to have them fully processed and ready in a bit less than two weeks. If you would like a notification when they arrive feel free to send an email to designsbyryn@gmail.com

Okay, let's move on to some inspiration!

Customer Projects

Hello Everyone. Last week was a wonderful surprise with all of the projects sent in to my email or Facebook Page. I kept a list of every one with the intention of posting to Facebook but there were just too many to give each proper time to be seen. I thought the best way would be to post a few at once on here. Beneath each photo I've listed the artist and where applicable, their blog post. I've also written the names of the Designs by Ryn stamps used. Enjoy!

Meet Lisa Lomas

Hello everyone! As you are all probably aware by now, I love seeing what people come up with using my stamps. Many of you have sent in creations to the Designs by Ryn Facebook Page and also to my Email account. A giant Thank You :)

A little while back I received an email from Lisa full of creations that she had made with her new Designs by Ryn stamps. I thought to myself that these needed a little spotlight of their own and asked her to send along an introduction so you could meet the creator.

So everyone... Meet Lisa Lomas!

Hello, my name is Lisa, I'm still on the good side of my 30's but only just! I've been making cards for about 11 years now, occasionally branching out into other art projects, my sewing is not up to much though. I love using stamps and have recently started making my own backgrounds with them which I find useful as you can't always find the papers you need! I have 2 lovely sons who enjoy getting 'arty' cards from their mum and often raid my stash to make some essential and messy project!

My house is usually a bit messy as I'd rather be creative than tidy, luckily I have the world's best husband who has not only made me a craft area but also gets the duster out occasionally, and does all the ironing! 

As for me, I love to go for long walks and spend ages in the bath! I read lots of creative magazines and the occasional blog, though I don't have one myself, in fact I found Ryn's stamps on a blog from Paper Creations By Shirley, she does some lovely designs with them. Must go, I wish you all happy stamping!! ;-)

Thank you Lisa for sharing your wonderful cards with us!

In Karin's art journal page: Rising Bubbles stamped multiple times in the background and highlighted with white. Spiral Shell is also hiding in there as well. Karin's blog post is HERE.
