How to get more use of your Fragrant Forest stamp; cut it up!

December 12, 2023

I shared this pretty card in last week's Live video. I featured the Fragrant Forest background stamp set seen here in all 3 projects.

Save

Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now. But the stamp set is still available.

I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut.

The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White. The lower strip for the greeting is torn.

Are you wondering how I achieved the inside trees image without inking the entire stamp? Here's how!

I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers. It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'. I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought. It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!

Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block. It just makes sense! I encourage you to try it.

Spotlight on Nature – sneak peak of the fabulous new bundle

April 26, 2024

Look at the beautiful card my friend & team member Candy sent me last week. One of our team challenges was to send RAK cards. Random Acts of Kindness. I was very grateful to receive one from her!

Save

It's made with a new bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!. It's called Spotlight on Nature. It includes floral, leaves and butterflies along with pretty sentiments. And an amazing set of detailed & texture circle dies.

Notice her softly sponged background around the flowers & leaves. She used Balmy Blue, Old Olive & Calypso Coral here, coloring in her images with Blends markers. Note that Olive circle die-cut – you can spy it in the photo below.

We're going to love these dies!!

Save

Demonstrators were able to pre-order this gorgeous bundle in April but everyone can order it after May 1st. In fact you could add it to your Starter kit too.

I'll be sharing more projects with this bundle soon. Thanks for the fabulous card Candy!!
