Sweetest Cherries is another stamp set that I’ve realised I’ve hardly used this year. I’m currently going through my stamps and trying to use those that I’ve not used yet or hardly used. Are you doing the same? If not why not join in and use all those wonderful things you have.

I’ve made this card in two colour ways, one is Sweet Sorbet and the other is Tahitian Tide. I know that cherries aren’t turquoise but I’m claiming artistic licence.

How to Layer the Artistic Masks / Stencils

Stencils/masks are a quick and easy way to make a background for your cards. Here I’ve used two of the masks from the Artistic Masks set. I’ve layered them up to create this fun pattern. Layering stencils allow you to add texture and depth of interest to your backgrounds.

These cards are very tonal. I laid the colour down with a blending brush, using the lighter colour first and adding interest with the darker one. I made this card in two different colour ways. Which do you prefer?

Using Wisteria Wishes Dies to Make a Card

Using Wisteria Wishes Dies to Make a Card – Go to Greetings – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

This is a card I made for April Card Club and I wanted to share it with you. This uses just the dies from the Wisteria Wishes bundle. I love the purples and greens together. They make me think of Spring.

I’ve inked the edges of all the elements in this card. This adds shadow, giving depth and dimension to each die cut. It only takes a minute to do this but it really makes a difference to the finished project.

I made a card using the matching stamp set and loved it. I decided to use just the dies this time in the same colourway and am so pleased with how it came out.

The die set from Two Tone Flora not only has dies to cut out the matching stamp set but also this extra die that cuts out a full card front design. I think it’s so pretty with the Orchid Oasis designer series paper behind it.

Hearts can definitely be used all here around. I think they are great for birthday cards as I’ve done here. This is actually a card we made in my virtual card club. You can join in the next one here.

My favourite die in the Framed Florets dies set is this one that cuts out an oval of little hearts. It’s so cute. Next time I want to try it with vellum over patterned paper.

This is a card design I’ve used many a time. Little critters always look cute popping through a window in a card. I’ve linked the two windows with the flying balloon.

The creatures are coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. They are one of my favourite colouring items. I’ve used the crumb cake one so much that I will have to buy a new one soon. It’s lasted a number of years though so that is good.

Funnily enough, I’ve used the punch that goes with the Petal Park stamp set more than the actual stamp set. I love punches and I hoard them. There is a huge collection in my retired drawers. I wanted to use the stamp set though and this is the card I came up with.

The leaves are actually the same stamp, once stamped the right way up and then again upside down. At first, the two areas of foliage looked very weird even after I added the flowers. The sentiment between the two foliage elements brought the card together.

Two-step stamping sets are great as they allow you to add dimension and depth so easily to your stamped images. I love them as they allow me to get a more realistic image when stamping. The Two Tone Flora set is great for this. The images are gorgeous and make me long for summer and lots of flowers.

I love how bright and fun this card is. This is the Wisteria Wishes stamp set. I have turned the wisteria stamp upside down and now we have a lupin stamp. The camera doesn’t pick it up but I have added extra definition to each flower with a marker to create extra interest.

This is such an easy bag to make. I wanted to show that just changing something small can totally change the look of your finished item. Here I’ve changed the closure mechanism. The first one is a ribbon closure and the second one has handles. It totally changes the look of the bag.
