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


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. 

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. 

I created a free project sheet for this card; click on this link to see it. Download Fragrant Forest & Beary Cute card  *subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a thing and can access all of my project sheets in one place! 

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.

    Stampin' Up! hit a home run with this paper!  It's filled with a beautiful variety of florals and ombre backgrounds.

  • Nature’s Prints in our new Tahitian Tide in color


    I thought our new Tahitian Tide in color would pair well with Night of Navy and created this pretty card.  

    I stamped the large leaf image on the Tahitian Tide layer for a background and used that same image again on the mail White layer and just a bit on the greeting too. 

    I used it for many purposes in April – for my Flowerbug's Team make & takes, an online swap and for last week's FB Live video too.  

    You can see the measurements in the photo below:
