Techniques using Peaceful Deer and Welcoming Woods

 Ever wondered how to put a deer behind some trees without and join lines. Well use a mask. Stamp the trees and then cut them out and put them over the stamped image then stamp and colour in the deer.

I used the Colour and Contour dies to cut the image out and then mounted on a piece of Sweet stockings dsp.

Blending brushes are perfect for getting a subtle background in Pool Party Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizazz. https://amethystarcrafting.stampinup.net/v

Use your stash to make a large tag - summertime theme

 I am part of Facebook group called The Joy of Sets which is a page full of ideas using stamp sets. They run regular swap challenges and this one was to make a large tag 6” x 3” with the theme Summer.

I decided to do an eclectic mix of sunflowers, sunshine and children playing.

The stamp sets I used were

Jar of Flowers for the sunflowers

Beautiful Moments for the children

Balloon and sun dies from Saleabration Sheep Dies

Here is the link to my shop if you want to purchase them https://amethystarcrafting.stampinup.net/

I’ve made a video of the process and how I put it all together. You can also see how I struggle with the ribbon charm for far too long, but get there eventually. Real time crafting warts and all.

Strong of Heart stamp set - one ink pad and a bit of creativity

 Strong of Heart is a new stamp set in the mini catalogue and for every set sold Stampin’ Up! Will donate £2.50 to a heart health charity. This set is close to the heart of Stampin’ Up! CEO Sara Douglas whose husband suffered a heart attack several years ago. I always try and support charities so this stamp set was one I had to have.
