Hello fellow crafters! Today I have a beautiful card idea using the Tulip Fields bundle and matching Flowering Fields paper with my own fun twist added. As I currently live in the Netherlands (I still sell Stampin' Up! products in my US store!) I had to have this bundle as soon as I saw the Mini catalog.
The Tulip Fields Bundle includes the Tulip Fields stamp set and the Windmill Fields dies. You create scenic cards with endless tulip fields and traditional windmills with this Bundle. Die-cut stamped images directly, or layer your die-cut pieces on top of stamped tulip fields for a dimensional look.
The stamp set includes flower field section stamps that, when placed side-by-side, can create colorful tulip fields from a tapering perspective. Pair these tulip fields with the windmill, clouds, or tree stamps found in this set to create a real-life scene, especially when you use the Windmill Field dies which includes a row of tulips, fences, a bicycle and pieces to create a layered windmill which is what I will show you how to do today.
Here are some tips on how to line up your new favorite stamps: To make the floral field look as realistic as possible, make sure the tip of the triangles are stamped next to each other, making a fan-like shape. Stamp the horizon line first across your card, then stamp the larger triangle with the tip in the center of the horizon line. Then, stamp the larger triangle two more times on either side of the center one with a small gap in between each stamp. And there you have an endless field of flowers!
The Flowering Fields paper was designed to complement the Tulip Fields bundle with patterns that include hand-painted tulips pretty watercolor designs. Florals for spring? Yes, please!

Why have I never though of laying my die cuts directly over my stamped image? What an easy way to add dimension and so much quicker than trying to fussy cut an image.
