Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today, I’m excited to share a new video tutorial featuring the versatile “In the Grove” stamp set. This set offers endless possibilities for creating beautiful, dynamic cards that are perfect for any occasion. In our latest video, I walk you step-by-step through different techniques that will enhance your stamped images and bring your creative visions to life.

Our first card showcases the stunning tree stamps from the “In the Grove” set. We start by stamping the tree image onto cardstock. Then, without reinking the stamp, we stamp again, creating a layered effect. This technique, known as second-generation stamping, adds dimension and depth to your cards, allowing you to achieve two different colors from a single ink application. The result is a rich, textured look that brings the trees to life.

Next, we shine the spotlight on the Thoughtful Journey patterned paper. This card features a unique stippling technique that adds a snowy touch to your scenes. By using white craft ink and an old Blender pen, we highlight snowy areas, creating a beautiful wintery effect. We then use a simple marker to darken certain areas, adding contrast and making the image pop. This technique is perfect for creating bright, bold designs that capture the grandeur of the mountains.

Both of these cards are incredibly versatile and can be tailored to suit any occasion, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, retirement, or graduation. I hope these techniques inspire you to try your hand at creating with the “In the Grove” stamp set or add it to your shopping cart.

Don’t forget, July is Bonus Days! For every $50 you spend, you’ll receive a $5 coupon to use in August. This is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite Stampin’ Up! products and earn some extra savings.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Do you find joy in creating intricate scenes inspired by the beauty of nature? If so, the new In the Grove Bundle is just what you need to elevate your crafting projects. This exclusive bundle includes the In the Grove Stamp Set and the In the Grove Dies, meticulously designed to help you craft stunning mountain, forest, and wildlife card fronts that will captivate any recipient.

The In the Grove Dies are a must-have for any nature enthusiast. They offer builder pieces for creating layered landscapes featuring mountains and forests, as well as charming small animals that bring your scenes to life. Whether you’re a seasoned cardmaker or a beginner, these versatile dies will add a touch of wilderness wonder to your creations.

To showcase the full potential of the In the Grove Bundle, I’m sharing two beautiful cards using the exquisite Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper. This 6″ x 6″ paper pack is renowned for its watercolored wonders, providing a perfect backdrop for your nature-inspired scenes. Imagine the awe on your recipients’ faces when they see the harmonious blend of vibrant landscapes and delicate wildlife crafted with care and creativity.

My first card done in basic white beautifully captures a natural vibe. Stamped with “Happy Birthday” from So Sincere conveys your message without getting in the way! I love vertical stamps.

My second card allows the designer paper to seep out beyond the borders of the frame to create a soft flowing unique look. I also created a sunset by sponging on some yellow. The greeting comes from the Unbounded Love stamp set (can be purchased as a bundle) and die cut with the Perennial Postage dies.

To see “HOW” I created these cards, I invite you to watch this short video. We got cut off in the middle so you’ll see my technical difficulties … LIVE! All is good … I still ended up with to finished cards I’d be proud to send to anyone.
