Love the look that the second technique produced. I have never thought of that. About stamp platforms...back in the dark ages, when I first got into stamping and all stamps were wood mounted red rubber and $15 bought ONE stamp instead of a stamp set, I finally gave up that part of paper crafting because I simply could not produce a complete, straight image...even with the Stamp-a-ma-jig. I worked in mixed media and scrapbooking for years until finally returning to stamping when photopolymer stamps and stamp platforms came on the scene. Truth be told, I still can’t stamp worth a good gosh darn using an acrylic block! Anyway, TFS. 💕 from new subbie in Colorado 🇺🇸

[@bellapopish7584]

I want to thank you for sharing your creativity and inspiration. I have learned so much this beautiful week from all the wonderful crafters. Not only that I have found so many new crafters to continue to learn from. Your cards/panels are stunning. You have taught me so many new techniques and tricks. You are so blessed to be so very talented and to share your talents is so very wonderful. Thank you again! Bella

[@megs1768]

So Stinkin Crafty is RIGHT!!! I love your cards! The purple one is GORGEOUS (USA)

[@tallies_mom2302]

I am really enjoying the versatility of everyone in this HOP. Love the creativity! Thanks from Maryland, USA.

[@carmenlalande707]

Beautiful and I completely agree that a stamp platform makes a huge difference with layering stamps. Watching from Canada

[@bettyblouin1392]

I think the stamp platform is as basic and useful as the stamps and the inks! A game changer. TFS from USA

[@rebeccabrown3898]

Absolutely beautiful stamp set. Loved both cards but especially the first one. Learned that you can clear heat emboss over the oxides, how exciting. USA

[@cecieh]

Two beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing how you created them. I never would have thought of turning the stamp upside down; great idea! I’m learning so much during this hop, including from you. Thanks! USA

[@amum9958]

All that white space in the first card can be used to write a short personalised note! Love it. Hopping from India. INTERNATIONAL

[@alicep1183]

Two lovely techniques and your cards look adorable! Love the watercolouring with the Distress Oxides, it's so vibrant!

[@helenmcgrath190]

US…This series has been fantastic. I was able to view many new crafters that I will continue to follow. Everyone has simply done beautiful work. Congrats to all!

[@AndreMmmm]

These cards are so elegant and classy. Purple and green is one of my fave combos (I love purple too). Thanks for sharing your creativity. Hugs from NY.

[@crysfin]

I have to say I probably would have quit card making if it wasn’t for stamp platforms. They make life so much easier. Beautiful cards. USA

[@aussierobb]

Certainly two different cards with the same supplies. My favourite is the thank you. TFS international

[@mfountain3287]

Cindy, Awesome card display, really your twist for adding the little details, keeping your display soft. Thanks for sharing and inspiring from TX. USA.

[@janiethecraftprincess]

Beautiful stamp set! I love your cards and love the technique you used on the second card...very creative! :) Hugs...Janie (in the US)

[@lindaparish7625]

USA - I love using layering stamps, you are right I also had to practice to get them close to how I was happy.

[@pattyeifert4355]

WOW!! I love both these cards and you truly have shown two totally different cards with the same stamp set! I would never have thought to use the die on the second card to color in and then use they layers to enhance! You're one smart cookie! BTW...I LOVE and also have a bunch of layered stamp sets & thought I died and went to heaven when I purchased the MISTI stamp tool....a godsend for sure!! USA

[@TatianaPCarvalho]

2 gorgeous cards, completely different looks from that same products. I love them! Thank you for sharing. I live in Ireland but I have an address available for shipping in the US.

[@annbateman5281]

USA...What a creative way to use your dies...both cards are lovely !!

[@bertas-cards]

Love how you stretch your dies as stencils. Stunning cards. (USA)

[@cynthiajacobs1591]

Loving the blog hop and experiencing so many crafters that I had not yet known about! Awesome inspiration!!!!

[@phyllissinclair5278]

Beautiful reminder to think out of the box with the same set. USA.

[@deettawert8239]

Really pretty cards! It is nice to see how a stamp set can look so different! I think as stampers we tend to get stuck in a rut with the stamps...thanks for sharing...I am in the US

[@PaisleyPapyrus]

I love the way you used the die cut as a coloring frame! It makes for a beautiful dimensional finished card. Such a cool idea that I've never thought to try. TFS! (USA)

[@sharongullikson2121]

USA. WOW, the flowers look wonderful. REALLY wonderful. I also like the spots--it softens the image. NICE

[@loriroberson3270]

Using the die cut a stencil, fantastic! I would have never thought to do that. Beautiful card! USA

[@jcparkins]

Those are beautiful! I don't know how I ever stamped anything without a stamp platform. (US)

[@susanjerrell9220]

Don't you hate it when craft supplies mock you? Beautiful cards for real. You put a lot of thought into them. USA

[@suewoods9933]

beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, thanks for your instructions. USA

[@cindybearj]

Kudos to you for having the patience for this set, it looks so complicated! Both cards are beautiful and I love your color choices. US

[@pamdanner6520]

Your cards are both just beautiful! I love stamp sets that you can use in different ways!

[@marytoutlian-fleer2774]

Very beautiful, elegant and yet simple card. Loved the use of the dot stamp for depth. (USA viewer)

[@annalisayoung]

Oh my gosh, a stamp positioner was a game changer for me too, and I was stamping without one for...maybe 3 months? Free range stamping (as Cathy Zielske puts it) is not my gift! I really like your idea of using the outline of the die cut to make a loose watercolor-y background. That's a really fun way to stretch a layering set. And that first card is almost dreamy with the soft colors and all the little dots. Thanks for sharing with us! (US)

[@didiroche8432]

Very cool how you got two different beautiful cards from the one set. I’m really starting to think I need to look for one of those stamping platforms too! (USA)

[@gailfort-cathey495]

Beautiful cards! I love the way you used the negative of the die cut to paint the flowers! US

[@lesliedenton8081]

Both cards are very pretty, but the first one is outstanding! USA

[@loriebradberry3174]

Thanks for showing how to make these cards, they cook so awesome and professional! I’m in the USA.

[@jenniferwilliams3128]

That is so stinkin cute!!! So simple and yet Beautiful first card. The second is stunning. Love it and stealing our ideas!! USA

I agree with you wholeheartedly on the stamping platform. Game-changer, indeed! Love your cards and your tutorials! USA

[@theoamy1]

Both of your cards are beautiful and unique! USA

[@lanastraea]

Those soft colors are just beautiful! USA

[@Tina-Marie-iz8zy]

Thanks for such a love tutorial the card is absolutely beautiful. I've a big stamping platform but was considering the mini platform from Tim Holtz and you've convinced me to. Cheers from down under in Australia

[@jilllancett6113]

I love this idea! What a great way to get this community together. Australia.

[@bevp7838]

Beautiful results from a beautiful stamp set. I really like the technique on the second card, and will definitely put this on my list of "to try" items. I have a die set that should do about the same thing. It's fairly new, but I have already made two projects and loved them both. I love the very fine "frame" around the painting! Thank you. USA

[@2129yaya]

These cards look so dainty and beautiful Puerto Rico

[@DeadlyDonna1]

Lovely card, you have inspired me to have another go at my stamp sets like this again. Thank you for sharing. From the UK - International

Really like these cards. Love the one that’s focused in the lower right corner. USA

[@kevinradford5056]

Beautiful!! I love how you made your background behind thank you with your ink pad. Smart! USA

[@anneslinger2189]

I really liked the loose watercolor effect you achieved by painting through the die cut. I think I would've actually let the die cut off, I liked it that much. USA

[@jade0626]

These cards are beautiful. You did an amazing job using those stamps. TFS 😊 😻 💕 USA

[@sowingit]

I really love your cards. Great tips on stretching your supplies. I have the stamp platform, but have not purchased any of the layering dies yet. I think it is time to add one. I am just getting into the distress oxides, and this showed more of their versatility. Thank you so much! New subbie. USA
