Sweetest Cherries-Mirror Image Technique for the Stem

 

For this card I wanted the cherry stems to face each other. So I did the mirror technique with the Stamparatus. 

The mirror technique is easy when using the Stamparatus.  

You need a Silicone Craft Sheet and the Stamparatus 

Place your Silicone Craft Sheet on your Stamparatus. Place your stamp on the plate, and ink your stamp. Stamp image on the Silicone Craft Sheet.

Place paper on the Silicone Craft Sheet where you stamped and stamp image again. This will press the ink onto the paper

The reversed image is on the back of the paper

Here is the reversed image

Now you can Punch your image, because you stamped on both sides of the paper.

And here is your stem stamped the other direction.

Happy Wednesday! I hope everyone's week is going good so far. Today is sketch challenge day! My favorite day of the week! 😊

Happy Stamping

Today for Sketch Challenge Day, I want to share with you how you can get three cards done using one sketch/layout.  I used the Butterfly Kisses, Sweetest Cherries, and Full of Love. One of the sets is stamps and dies, one is stamps and a punch and one is a stand alone set, which means just a stamp set, no dies or punches. So not only is it one sketch three different cards, it's also one sketch three different types of bundles/stamp sets.

I hope this inspires you to make multiple cards with one sketch 😊
