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.

  • Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live

    Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

    I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.  

    Magnolia Lane April 2nd Save

    We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

    If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards. 

    Here are the supplies and measurements so you're ready to stamp with me:

    Measurements:

    • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
    • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
    • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

    Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

    • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
    • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
    • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
    • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here) 
    • Champagne rhinestones
