The Siset020 Stamp Set

Written and Created by PaperCraftCentral Susan

Here is the Siset020 Stamp Set mentioned in Poll-1.

The Siset020 Stamp Set was the Poll-1 Winner

Do you like what you see? Aren't these stamps gorgeous?

This swirly botanical Stamp Set was actually the FIRST featured stamp set here on PaperCraftCentral.com before I became a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I was so impressed with these stamps I used them a lot. I liked the butterfly hidden in one of the designs as well.

The stamps at the bottom of the sheet were just the right size for ATCs. (Artist Trading Cards) I was making lots of those back in the mid 2000s, mostly to take part in swaps. 

The scrolls and flourishes were sure versatile and I used some partial images in some of the featured projects below.

This set is now retired though.

That doesn't mean you can't be inspired by the way they were used, right?

Now you could search for a similar type of image among the beautiful flower and leaf stamp and die sets always on offer from Stampin' Up!

Check out the way these or similar stamps create images for you and see some ways you could use them below.

I think Stampin' Up! stamps like Grateful Blessings, Flowers of Beauty, or Thoughtful Wishes would look fabulous with these techniques, for example.If you are living in Australia, you can order them from my online store in 2024 - 2025. Just click on one of the links in this paragraph to go to the store.

I added the stamp and die set pictures below for your consideration.

The sentiments are always an attraction for me too, along with the beautiful botanical images and die cut shapes.

I like this one set in particular. If I were going to recreate my long ago projects, I would probably start with these images.

Of course, there is nothing to stop you combining images from several stamp and die cut sets together on the one project! These leaves and flowers go well with the Flowers of Beauty stamp set above.

Do you agree?

And always search your own stash of stamps and dies to see if you already own a beautiful set of images that would suit this project idea.

Oh and if you want a butterfly or two in your projects, you can always consider the Sketched Butterflies stamp set and dies.

Idea: With the die cuts, you could use them as a mask and pounce ink over them to make their negative image on your project. I think if you then stamped over some negative images it would be a way to create depth and layering for your project.

You could then add die cuts on top for a three dimensional pop.

The Promised Projects

After sending out a poll to you in 2009 all about which of four beautiful stamps set you wanted to see featured here on PaperCraftCentral.com and getting the results, I was busy stamping for you with your choice of set. I made you some birthday cards and ATCs to show you how pretty the stamps were when you used them to make handmade greeting cards.

I made some backgrounds with my brayer using a couple of different techniques and then stamped over the backgrounds to make most of the featured items you see below.

I added some pretty brads and pearls, made a tear here, added some ink there, tied them with my favourite ribbon at the time and voila! I had a whole lot of pretty special things to share with friends and family.

Wait, I think these ATCs actually made it into a swap I was taking part in at the time instead.

Oh and I snuck in some of the sentiments from a couple of other sets I featured on this site as well.

It's always fun to see if you can mix and match stamp sets in your collection and create new combinations that look good together.

Do you do that? I do it a LOT. ☺

Now if you like these projects, why not have a go at recreating them or changing them up? I am glad to be an inspiration if you do something like that and won't mind you CASEing these ideas at all.

I hope you liked the example projects. Thank you to everyone who participated in Poll-1 to let me know which stamp set was most appealing at that time.

I no longer feature any stamp sets but Stampin' Up! ones these days on PaperCraftCentral, but I still occasionally get taken by a stamp set from another company.

Isn't it wonderful to have all the choice we have these days?

Happy stampin'!
