Quiet Meadow Stampin’ Spots Swipe Background

April 18, 2024

It’s that time of the year again when Stampin’ Up! releases the list of retiring stamp sets, papers, and accessories.

It’s always a bittersweet time of the year as some of our favorite stamp sets will be leaving in order to make room for new sets in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

These products are available through April 30 or while supplies last.

Don’t miss out, order today!

Over the month, I will be sharing creations using some of my favorite retiring stamp sets.

Next up is Quiet Meadow stamp set and coordinating Meadow Dies.

You can see more of my Quiet Meadow creations HERE

I paired the Meadow die-cuts with an easy background using Stampin’ Spots.

If you are a Paper Pumpkin subscriber, you probably have several of these Spots in various colors as they come with each new kit.

Or, you can purchase a set of 3 uninked Spots and add your own color.

They are good for spot stamping. Or for creating a Spot Swipe Background like I did for this card.

Quiet Meadow Stampin’ Spots Swipe Background How To:

1. Swipe different colors of Stampin’ Spots on a piece of Basic White card stock. You can swipe vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc. I used Crumb Cake, Soft Suede (retired), and Early Espresso Stampin’ Spots. These came from past Paper Pumpkin kits.

2. Stamp sprinkles from Quiet Meadow using Pecan Pie ink. Attach to Early Espresso mat, then Crumb Cake card base.

3.Die-cut flowers using Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and Meadow Dies out of Basic White card stock. Attach to card front using a small amount of Liquid Glue.

4. Stamp greeting from Pansy Patch. on Crumb Cake card stock using Early Espresso ink. Die cut using Meadow label die. I banner cut the edge of the label since it was quite a bit larger than the greeting. Tie a Linen Thread bow and attach greeting using Mini Dimensionals. Add 2023-2025 Enamel Dots to complete.
