How to make a forest of trees from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set!

I thought the flower image in the Wisteria Wishes stamp set would make wonderful trees. So I played around and here's the finished card:

I chose to use just one ink color of Evening Evergreen. I made this card in the video below; or click here to see it. 

Tips on creating the trees:

  • Starting at the bottom with the 3 flower image (turned point side up) stamp in full strength Evening Evergreen ink making sure you stamp some images higher and some lower.  Ink every time filling in the very bottom fully.
  • Now ink the same image and stamp off once before stamping slightly higher than the first 'trees'.  
  • Now ink the image again and stamp off twice before stamping even higher making sure you alter the height now & then.  
  • Wallah; you've created a forest of trees!  

Did you know that Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent are a perfect color combination?  Stamping off once or twice can give you almost an exact Soft Succulent color tone.

You could make a bunch of these cards quickly and they're perfect for any occasion but to me they'd be great sympathy or men's cards. 

Here are the other two cards I made with this bundle.  It was super fun to play with!

  • Morning Star

    Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking.  It's amazing!  

    It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it.  I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.

    Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos.  Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

    • Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"

    Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue:

    I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here.  This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock.  It was on the Last Chance list seen here.  I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

    Measurements:

    • Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
    • White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut

    I haven't shared this project yet; it was the bonus project many of my gals received in their Spring Retreat package.   It's made with the Pleased as Punch designer paper; it was free during Sale-a-Bration earlier this year.

    To create the banners I first cut a piece of card stock 4 1/4" long X 3 1/2" wide.  Then I made a mark at the center of the short end and cut from that mark to the opposite corner.  Then I had my template!  

    I added lots and lots of punched pieces!  I used the Umbrella punch, the Tulips punch, Daisy, Leaf, Butterfly Duo, the Small Bloom punch and the Heart Punch pack.  A few of the banners are textured too.  It would be fun to hang this in your craft room or on a window .
