Floral Kindness – Stamp Layering

These beautiful flowers are from the new Wispy Joy stamp & die set, I used inks from the Sunshine In Your Pocket, Warm & Cosy and Green Meadows ink families.
If you’re looking for tips & tricks for stamp layering then you should definitely check out my video below.

For my background, I used the older Woven Lines stamp, and Industrial Diamond from the Rock Collection ink family.

I tried something new with the vellum strip that I put across the panel, by scrunching it up first! This added loads of texture and I absolutely love how it turned out, so I will definitely be doing that again!!!

The sentiment is from the new Always Be Kind stamp set, which coordinates with the old Be Kind die set.
A few Satin White sequins finish it off nicely.

Hi, Hello, Hey!

I really love that the new Hello Friend set includes several different languages and I stamped a whole bunch of the circular sentiments to use on a few different cards.

For this first card, I also embossed one in Gold, along with several of the hearts that are in the set.

I trimmed 3/4 inch off an a2 panel that I debossed with the Dotted Tiles die; this just pushes a pattern into the panel and I love using it to give some texture and interest to my designs.
I used one of the gorgeous washi tapes behind that bit that I trimmed off and added a few sequins to finish off this design.

Hello, It’s Been A While

Blues & reds for this design, using Glacier Caves inks for the sentiments and Crimson (from Red Sunset) for the hearts. All die cut and popped up using Instant Dimension foam tape onto an a2 panel that I embossed using the Waffled Diamonds 3d embossing folder.

The sub sentiment is from the same Hello Friends stamp set, and I used tiny pieces of foam adhesive to put behind it where it wasn’t sitting on the other popped up pieces.



Mixed Media Hello

I love repeating patterns by just shifting a stencil by a little bit! It’s a great way to stretch your supplies further
