Easter Joy Shutter Card Tutorial

Today I’m sharing a quick and simple technique to create a fun camera shutter look. This technique is sooo simple but is defiantly a wow technique that I’m sure you’ll want to give it a go too!

I’ve used the Easter Joy Suite (166954) to create this card as it is filled with all kinds of goodies for Easter crafting.

The Easter Joy Specialty Designer Series Paper (166939) is a thicker paper than our regular Designer Series Paper making it perfect for 3d projects too. And the colors are quite wonderful for spring. The package also contains 2 sheets of quick project options as you can see behind the stamp set above.

I’ve used the fun colorful pattern with carrots, eggs, and flowers and chose the coordinating Peach Pie card stock to create the card’s shutter effect with.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can see just how simple this technique is to create!

And of course here is a PDF for you that has the supply list, measurements, and even the link to the video. So why not give this easy little technique a try?

Throw Back Thursday with Healing Hugs

Recently I found some cards that I haven’t shared with you on my desk so today I’m beginning to share a series of tutorials I’ll be calling Throw Back Thursday since they highlight something you might already have in your craft supplies. They also include new products found in my Online Store.

One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up! is their product coordination and these project will show you just how easy it is to coordinate the old with the new.

Since it’s that time of year I thought I’d stare with the Healing & Hugs stamp set since we all have someone we know who might be feeling under the weather during cold and flu season.

This set contains cute little animals so it was one I definitely wanted to add to my collection. I’ve teamed it up with our fun Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (165301) and used one of my favorite colors, Coastal Cabana.

Want to see how I created this card? Why not check out my video tutorial and PDF with the measurements and supply list.

Easter Basket

Love fun little techniques that step up your projects? How about an Embossing Folder technique that is quick and simple to do that has been used on this card?

Today’s card uses the Easter Basket Bundle (166947) to create this card. It also uses a technique of adding ink to the debossed side of the folder to add color.

How do you do that? It’s simple – you’ll want to use your Classic Ink pad or a brayer to add color to the inside of your embossing folder and then run it through your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss as normal. Clean up is easy simply run water over the inside and allow it to dry.

This creates a colorful background for your project. In addition to the All in a Row Embossing Folder (166989). This card also uses a watercolor wash for the bunny to create a soft feel. Simple stamping was used for the eggs and sentiment. And of course a bit of Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon (167075) adds a bit of texture to the card and a fun detail.

So what do you think? Want to try this simple technique to add color to your embossing folders? While it can be a bit messy if you’re not careful it is a lot of fun!

Sweet Bugs

Love cute little cards that spread joy and maybe our desire for warmer weather while we sit in this deep freeze? Why not check out the Sweet Bugs stamp set (166995)?

The set is filled with cute little images that would make anyone smile and has some fun little sentiments too. And it is also found in a Suite of products, Cute as a Bug Suite (167007) so it has tons of coordinating products you can use to create.

Today’s card uses this fun little parade of bugs to create it’s focal point to spread some joy.

The parade has been colored using our Old Olive, Real Red and Daffodil Delight Classic Inks and Blender Pens (102845) to give them a soft watercolor look. And it has been mounted on the card front that highlights the colorful Cute as a Bug Designer Series Paper (166994). And finally Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes (167005) has been used, a few clear dots one of the cute little ladybugs add a bit of shine.

Have you used Blender Pens? If not they are easy to use and add value to your Classic Ink Pads. Using them is simple – simply press a bit of ink onto the lid of the pad, or Clear Block and lift it with the Blender Pen and start coloring. The amount of ink on the tip will a variety of shades for that color. And as you use the ink the color will soften giving you this fun watercolor look and shades of the same ink. Practice a bit on your Grid Paper to see what you like. I think once you try this simple technique you’ll enjoy coloring small images like this.

Nature’s Symphony for the guys

Have you seen the Nature Walk Suite (166936)? This Suite is filled with wonderful product and colors perfect for creating masculine and nature inspired cards.

And while there is some great texture available in the suite of products even the stamp set and dies have texture elements.

Check out today’s card that uses this suite.

I just love the color pallet chosen of Basic Beige, Pretty Peacock and Old Olive. And since it has been stamped on our Very Vanilla Card stock (166784) it gives a softer earthier feel to the images stamped.

The sentiment has been stamped and then fussy cut and mounted onto another fussy cut piece of Pretty Peacock to create a mat or shadow effect. A bit of our Linen Thread (104199) has been looped a couple of times and placed behind the sentiment. And finally a couple of patterns of the beautiful Nature Walk Designer Series Paper (166912) has been used to pull all the colors together and create a lovely backdrop for the image.

If you haven’t used our Very Vanilla Card stock you’ll want to be sure to give it a try for cards like this. I especially love using this paper to create a softer feel and my fall and winter cards when the Basic White feels a bit stark.

You can find these products in my Online Store, so why not take a look today?

And don’t forget your Bonus Days Coupons – they expire on Saturday the 28th.
