Pretty Pansies

By on May 16, 2022 in Holidays, Mother's Day, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be up on the Maker Forte blog to share a set of cards with Pretty Pansies! I am using their new Layering Pansies stamp set to build up these flowers…and they turn out amazing. Check out the blog post HERE.

I also have a video showing you just how easy these flowers are to layer up with this set. Watch it below or in HD on YouTube:

I packaged these up as a gift set for my mom, who nearly cried with joy at opening them. You might remember that when my Dad died, we made a Pansy garden memorial for him (he LOVED pansies, which he learned from his mom…my grandma).

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 







Thanks for stopping by!

Jungle Vines Layering Stencil

Hello! Today I have a Layering Stencil TIP that has just become a new FAVORITE!! I’m using the Jungle Vines Layering stencil from Miss Ink stamps…and this is perfect for Jungle scenes or floral backdrops.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube to see my favorite Layering Stencil technique:













With this one tip, your layering stencils will become a breeze to line up and get beautiful results! I used the Jungle Vines stencil and the Tropical Trellis stencil for this card. For the images, I used Jungle Friends and Pretty Birds…all from Miss Ink Stamps.
