Creating a Dimensional Background with Nested Essentials Dies!

Hello Everyone,

Here’s another background idea for you, this time using the Nested Essentials dies!

Six die cuts are needed, I used 3 in Basic White, 2 in Pool Party and 1 in Night of Navy.

The Basic White shapes were adhered first. The centre one was added last and helps with positioning the coloured pieces.

The sentiment is taken from Wonderful Thoughts and stamped with Blueberry Bushel ink.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

A combination of Thoughtful Wishes and Sentimental Park created the foliage and flowers. Some Wink of Stella pulled some colour from the stamped outline.

This card used Calypso Coral and Petal Pink, not my favourite colours, but look great together in this layout.

I also creating this version when I was designing today’s project. This one uses the smaller shape in Basic White. The flowers are in Melon Mambo and the sentiment in Pebbled Path.

The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

I would love to be your demonstrator.

Thanks for stopping by today and happy Stampin’!

Panelled Background with Irresistible Blooms!

Hello Everyone,

I haven’t used this stamp set for a little while so here’s 2 cards in very different colours!

The background panel was made by layering some strips of cardstock on to a neutral layer.

I started by blending some ink from one side and stamping with the splatter image to add texture.

You can see how I coloured the flowers in my video tutorial….

The punched sentiment and die cuts were added with dimensionals and helped hide a little mistake with the layering!

This variation uses some of the 2024 in colours!
