Greatest Journey Masking Technique Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card is one that I made for my daughters friend who loves to run and it uses a fun masking technique that you create with a Blending Brush. This technique can be a lot of fun and the options are endless depending on the colors you choose.

today’s card uses Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo – a color combination that struck me as a good choice for running. (And the fact they had thought of an orange car made me think it would be a hit. lol).

The card uses the Greatest Journey stamp set which is filled with some wonderful sentiments such as this one. Let me show you how I created this fun card in my video tutorial.

Check it out and enjoy.

Greatest Journey Adventure Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Life is a great adventure – and the Greatest Journey stamp set (highlights some of the things that make it such a great one. While the set includes some wonderful sentiments the die set gives us some wonderful images to go along with them and since it is part of a Suite there is a lot of coordination that makes creating easy too.

Today’s project is a quick and easy one with a simple stamping off technique.

I love way this simple technique creates the look of depth using the pine tree image for the background on this sentiment panel.

Here is a video tutorial for you along with a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list.

Today’s card tutorial is one that I did for my OnStage After Party, which is a team event and forgot to share it with you earlier, but it got buried on my desk while I recouped from my Surgery. The idea comes straight from the pages of our Mini Catalog. Do you ever use the catalog projects to stamp? I love the ideas contained in their pages to inspire me or case. Anyways, so today I’ve got this fun card for you that spreads a little hello to someone you love.

I really like the quick and easy technique created with our Stampin’ Blends on the heart. I’ve also added a bit of texture behind the vellum with the Dots & Spots Die for a tone on tone background.
