Two-Step Tips : Delightful Wishes & Natural Botanicals

Today I am sharing some fun tips and tricks for using the Delightful Wishes bundle and the Natural Botanicals stamps. In the video we will be focussing on some hints for two-step stamping as well as making some fun cards.

You can get really creative with colour combinations and experimenting with different colourways can bring unexpected and beautiful results. In fact, often when we look at Stampin’ Up! suites in the catalogue, we may not realize the potential of these stamps in different colours. I’m showing you two options
to inspire you. Oh, and I didn’t mention in the video – the white layer, on the
card below, was embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder – which you can receive free with purchase during Sale-a-bration.

If you would care to see the video – you can find it here:

On the video I promised some other card ideas. This first one is done with the dies from Delightful Wishes. It was quick and easy to cut and layer the flowers. The leaves in the background were stamped in Lost Lagoon ink using the Natural Botanicals stamps.

The torn element at the bottom is done with a strip of Bubble Bath card stock and a strip of the Two-Tone cardstock in Pool Party. I love the white core you get when you tear the two-tone card – and it is less bulky for card making too. I guess I need to get my hands on some more colours. If you want to know more about all the things you can do with two-tone cardstock, we have a technique class here at Ready Set Demo – just for you.

This final project is my take on cherry blossom. Using the Delightful Wishes bundle, I stamped the flowers, as shown in the video, but instead of stamping stem, I die cut the flowers using the dies.

I also cut the bough and then stamped some leaves around it. I popped the flowers and the sentiment up on dimensionals and finished with some Party Dots bling.
