Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper Tutorial - Shadow Blocking Card Layout


This is my first card featuring the Painterly Pears Designer Series Paper . The paper’s rich, vibrant colors really drew me in. 

The latest card layout I tried is called the Shadow Blocking Card Layout. It involves using one-inch squares arranged meticulously. The shadow is dark enough which allowing the focus to stay on the subtle designs. The card layer itself uses just one-inch by twelve-inch strips of DSP, with the top layer composed of twelve individual one-inch pieces. To ensure the pattern flows seamlessly across the card, all the squares are cut from a 3" x 4" piece of card layer, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design.

Stampin' Up! Products

    • Card base measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  • Petal Pink cardstock
    • Card layer measures 4" x 5 1/4"

    • One-inch squares
    • Nine cards from top layer piece of 12" x 12" 
    • Nine cards from the shadow layer 
      • Leftover piece 3" x 12"

  • Pearl Basic Jewels
I created a template for perfect placement of the one-inch pieces of DSP. Reach out to me if you'd like to purchase the Brother ScanNCut file or click on THIS post and use the Buy Now button at the bottom of the post. It definitely makes life easier than lining up 24 pieces of DSP. I'm also working on a 3D template—stay tuned, as they may be available for purchase soon!





Introducing my custom 3D layering tool! Crafted with magnets beneath the tray, I use magnetic knobs from Amazon to securely hold each layer in place, making your crafting process smoother and more precise.

How to make Faux dies for your new Stampin' Up! Cling Mount Stamp Sets

My Crafts By Beth Faux Die Tutorial UPDATE

You just purchased a new cling mount stamp set, if only you could create dies to fit those stamps. Well you can and I made it easy. I have added an update to the tutorial below. This update shows you how to create a complete die set for a new stamp set that has never been used and the sticker image labels have not been attached. My full tutorial including this AWESOME tip on making faux dies for an entire stamp set is available below. Now through Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 2025 my tutorial is only $19.99.

I created dies to use for every stamp in the Spotlight on Nature stamp set from Stampin' Up!



ORIGINAL TUTORIAL

My Crafts by Beth Faux Die Tutorial is NOW Available. Click HERE for more information!


I've had my Brother ScanNCut for six years, making a sentiment layer was tedious. I learned the basics from YouTube videos. While creating this card, I had a lightbulb moment...I discovered a way to make sentiment layer and a sentiment mat for all my photopolymer stamps. And improved that one step by showing how to create files for my cling mount stamps. It took me over three days to create files for all my stamps, it was totally worth it. Previously it would take me up to two hours to create one file for stamping just one sentiment. Now I can do it in under ten minutes.

I have created a tutorial on how to create stamping layers and the "shadow" layer for the sentiment. If you know the basics to using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace you will be able to master my tutorial in minutes. If you decide to purchase my tutorial, you must need to understand how to scan and cut out an image using your machine. There are YouTube videos showing the basic steps for the beginner. To use this tutorial, again, you must know the basic steps in using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace software. I have never seen a video that creates sentiment and mat layers as easy as mine.

Custom Make Your Own Stamp Dies - Crafts by Beth Faux Die Tutorial

Wouldn't you love having a die for every stamp set image?  Who wouldn't!

©Stampin’ Up!

I created a Faux Die for the butterfly from the Paper Pumpkin Delicate Wings stamp set and it was so easy.The "die cut" for the butterfly was cut using my Brother ScanNCut and their free software CanvasWorkspace. It is so easy with my tutorial. You can create files to use for all your stamps, each stamp image can be made into a faux die in less than five minutes. 

There are so many YouTube videos that show how to stamp an image and draw an outline of it, closing in the "opened" lines and cut with your machine.  Sometimes you didn't get a perfect scanned image and you have to try again. Stamp ten butterflies and you have to outline and/or close the opened lines for EACH AND EVERY butterfly. With my tutorial, you can create a file, cut ten butterflies, stamp the "die cuts" and you are done! 

With my Brother ScanNCut tutorial, why have a die where you stand over your die cutting machine, line up the image with the die and crank EACH AND EVERY butterfly. That takes a LONG TIME! And you have the battle of the die slipping over the stamped image as you are cranking it through and you have to stamp and die cut another butterfly. There goes one stamped image into the trash and your wasted time. Think of the money you'll save not purchasing dies! Most stamp sets only have three to four dies created for it, with my method you'll have a "die" for each stamp image. Keep in mind a die set may have a die that is unique, if that is the case, you may want to purchase the die set.

©Stampin’ Up!
Oh my gosh....you can make faux dies for every Paper Pumpkin stamp set and every stamp set you own! You'll be the envy of
every stamper!

I have created a tutorial on how to create stamping layers and the "shadow" layer for the sentiment. If you know the basics to using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace you will be able to master my tutorial in minutes. If you decide to purchase my tutorial, you must need to understand how to scan and cut out an image using your machine. There are YouTube videos showing the basic steps for the beginner. To use this tutorial, again, you must know the basic steps in using your Brother ScanNCut and the Brother CanvasWorkspace software.

Line the ruler guide across the edge and use a box cutter for a perfect layer. I use a cutting mat to protect my surface. I use temporary adhesive to hold the die cut in place.


*Dies are numbered with the largest being number one.

Simplicity Sells


I often see simple cards selling on Etsy, obviously there is a niche. This note card was quick and easy to make and in the process of making it - I figured out a way to quickly make the sentiment and sentiment mat layers using my Brother ScanNCut. I have spend nearly two weeks creating a tutorial that will be available FREE with your $50 Stampin' Up! product purchase from me using my Hostess Code. The tutorial will also be available for $9.99 once it is released. It is a Game Changer!!!

* I used the Delightfully Detailed Note Cards & Envelopes purchased in 2019. Once one layer or more is added to the card, they barely fit into the envelope. I trimmed the cards 4 7/8" instead of the premade width of 5"
