CREATING DEPTH WITH STAMPING & MASKING OR STAMPING & DIE CUTTING - A STAMP HAPPY HOLIDAYS POST

 Hi Stampers!

Welcome to my STAMP HAPPY HOLIDAY SERIES! In my previous post I used the TREES FOR SALE STAMP SET & TREE LOT DIES, and created two versions of one card design. I simply changed the color scheme and greeting so the cards were appropriate for different occasions. Today I am using the same stamp set and dies to create two versions of a card design. Instead of using different color schemes I am using two different techniques for adding depth and dimension - stamping with masking and die cutting. These techniques can be used with many stamp sets and dies. Let’s take a look at the cards!

TREES FOR SALE STAMP SET

This stamp set is featured in the Stampin’ Up! July - December 2022 Mini Catalog.

TREE LOT DIES

When I wrote the draft version of this post the TREE LOT DIES were still available as a Sale-A-Bration choice. As of 1 August, the dies are no longer available.
