Off We Go Layout with Everyday Explorers

Everyday Explorers Co. just released some new stamps last week and I thought I’d share a look at one of the layouts I did using the Off We Go stamp set.

This buildable 6″ x 8″ stamp set contains so many possibilities that it was fun to try to combine a few of them into one layout.


I started first by creating the postage stamps. I wanted them to be colorful and knew that I could stamp them with multiple ink colors but when I tried this, I thought they were still a little plain and needed more color. So I got out a set of watercolors and decided to use them to add subtle color to the background. I carefully added light hues to some cardstock in the areas where I knew I would be stamping in. For the mountain image, I painted the sky pink and the lake blue. For the road image, I painted the sky pink, the tree area light green and the road gray. For the sun image, I just painted in some pink color.

After the paint dried, I went back to stamp the images in different ink colors. I masked out the areas I didn’t want to stamp and then stamped the detail I wanted from the image in the color I was using. A stamp press helped to keep the image in the same place the entire time.

It took some time but I really liked the result!

After the postage stamps were completed, I moved on to create some different tags. I used the two tag stamps and combined them with the various solid/striped blocks, lines, icons, and word phrases to make different tags that matched the layout. These were then fussy cut.

I wanted my photos to be cut in the same shape as the ticket stamp in the set. To do this, I sized them to 1.25″ x 2″ in Photoshop and then printed them out. I then carefully stamped the ticket image using Versamark ink to use as a guide for my cutting.

I cut the photos out along the Versamark stamped lines.

Now I had all the pieces and came the fun part: arranging! I moved the postage stamps, tags and ticket photos around my page until it looked good to me. I adhered all the pieces on and then trimmed the elements which hung over the edge. Since the layout is so busy, I left the left side of the page plain with just a simple title, and my page was done!

Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions!

The first of those is Loose Deuces, which awards increased odds for quads of deuces but returns reduced payouts for straight flushes and five-of-a-kind hands.
