Cherish Stamp, Thin Cuts & Stencil Inspiration

 The Cherish Cardmaking Stamp, Thin cuts & Stencil bundle has been my most used stamp in the last 6 months.  Here's 10 projects I've created using it.



This is one of Close to My Heart's first stamp, thin cut & stencil bundle where the stencil is used to color the stamped image.  

I've used sponges, daubers and blending brushes the create the following cards.

Here I blended several colors across the flowers for a softer look



This is a Faux Step Card.  There's no fancy cutting for make this stair step design unlike the original stair step.  Here's a stair step tutorial from last year.

I'm going to continue sharing the cards I colored with Melon, the CTMH color of the year to show you how you can vary the shading in the stencil to change the look completely. 

Like the Stair Step Card, this one is very uniform, with just a little bit of lighter blending around the center.  



This time, I barely blended any melon in the center of the flowers.  I focused on the edges.



On this card, I blended Scarlet primarily around the edge of the stencil, but on the next card, I filled in the stencil uniformly.




This one I diecut the stamped image from a circle to create a spotlight effect.  We have several card-front background dies like this still available.


This one is layered.  I used 2 diecuts, one in Glacier and other in Honey Butter and Mink.  I cut out the flowers and layered them over the first image.  This was a good way to use up the image as I didn't diecut it perfectly and had cut off a couple leaves.
