Layer Up!

Use the stamp + stencils to build a trendy frame.

We love that this S+S bundle is a little different from the others. Instead of using the stencils to fill in an outline stamp, the stamps + stencils work together to help build a striking image! Start by stamping the leaves, and then stenciling in the flowers and berries. 

Here, we've further accented by adding a few stamped details like the leaf veins, flower layers, and flower centers.  

Add Detail

Take it a step further by adding in even more stamped detail.

Not only can you add in more detail using the stamps in this set (here you can see we've added some lines to the flower blooms), you can also dress up this frame with our Recipe Builder stamps! 

Since the floral frame was designed to fit perfectly onto our Recipe Card Builder dies, all you need to do is mask the frame (with the coordinating die-cut) and stamp the lines over-top. It's a super quick way to get store-worthy stationery. Here's a video that breaks it down step-by-step.

Cut It!

Did you know the individual dies can help you cut out all the bits so you can layer your own masterpiece?

The coordinating Frame Builder dies not only help you cut the floral frame, but they also include individual dies (leaves and flowers) to help you cut bits out of your beautiful creation. These can be used alone, or combined with our Hello Beautiful Blooms (a coordinating set of stamps and dies). Helping you build anything you like! From wreaths, to borders, to backgrounds.

We  love how effortlessly these products mix + match and we hope you'll love them too! Don't forget, it's a lot easier to build the frame image first, and die-cut later. You can also use your scissors to cut out any bits that are left-over from the dies.

Stencil

How about a blooming background, using only the stencils? 

The great thing about S+S bundles is that you can use the stencils on their own. You can arrange them into the frame design if you want (like the card we've shared below), but we say, go be a rebel! Ditch the leafy frame, and create a beautiful background instead. 

Just position over your paper and stencil. Then rotate and repeat (perhaps in a different color!), until you like what you see. Switch to the leaf stencil and stencil in leaves in the same way. The leaves are already meant to create a layered effect, so all you need to do is line them up. This means you can entirely skip the masking tape to achieve this look (yay)!

To finish, we recommend adding in final touches with the accent stamps, or a little bit of marker detailing. You can view a full video here, on how to make this background from start to finish!
