Quick and Simple Painter’s Tape Technique Tutorial

Today’s card uses a quick and simple technique that is so easy to do. It’s one of the first techniques I used when I learned how to stamp as it is an easy way to add color to your projects.

This card creates the feel of the setting sun with just two colors and a simple image. These type of cards I find are great for the guys in my life.

Today I wanted to share with you a card using the Celebration Expressions Memory & More Card Pack (Last Chance 165307). These card packs make memory keeping quick and easy but they are also great for cards. Check out this fun card using a couple of the cards from the pack.

A bit of tearing to create texture and then popping up the sentiments that have been trimmed down and matted onto a piece of Basic Black. Quick and simple, but also quite lovely with all it’s layers and texture.

Woolly Friends Faux Flocking Card

Today I wanted to share a card with you that I received in my swap using the Faux Flocking Technique. It’s so stinking cute! I just love this little lamb in the Woolly Friends Bundle (166888).

While this flocking technique has been around for awhile it’s use on this card drew my attention back to it again. The last time I saw it I was using a little edge Destressing Edge tool that Stampin’ Up! had back in the day. Today’s card uses a cheese grater to create the fluff. How cute right?

this card also uses the fun Old Olive Specialty Rickrack (167006) giving the card tons of texture.

While this card has lots of texture and layers it is really quite simple to do. The first two lambs are stamped and colored with a Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends. While this stamp set is a two step set a mask was created for the lambs face so the body wouldn’t cover it and the blends gives you a bit more control since it has the row of flowers that were stamped along the bottom. You’ll want to cover these also stamping the 2 lambs.

Next the lambs bodies and heads were stamped and punched out. A bit of the card stock fuzz was added and allowed to dry and then added to the card front. The

Adorable right? Who wouldn’t love to get one of these cards? I can’t wait to try this fun technique with my distressing tool and might even pull out my grater to see which I like better, about you?

Lifetime of Love

Yesterday I shared a quick and easy monochromatic card with you using the Lifetime of Love stamp set (Last Chance 162574) so today I thought I’d share another card that was created with this stamp set.

Today’s card has a totally different feel to it since it uses our Petal Pink and Gray Granite to create this lovely wedding card along with a simple masking technique.

The flowers were first stamped onto the Basic White Card stock panel and then a simple mask was used to cover the flowers. After the leaves were stamped using Old Olive to create this layered color look. Fun right? Simply stamp the flower image onto masking paper or a sticky note and cut out and you’re ready to go.

This card is also a fun fold called a joy fold card that is so simple to do! This card uses a 8 inch Basic White panel that has been scored at 4 3/4″. It creates a panel large enough to hide the inside sentiment when the outside sentiment is opened.

Here are a couple of photos showing you the flap portion of the card.

Lovely right? Who wouldn’t enjoy receiving this card on their special day?

Saying goodbye to Layers of Beauty & Summer Splash

A bit of masking allows you to create this stripe of color using the Summer Splash Classic Ink and our Blender Brushes. A bit of ribbon adds some texture.
