In the Moment Masking Technique Card Tutorial

Posted on by

I’m off to the Stampin’ Up! event #OnStage in Jacksonville and am excited to be able to gather with other Demonstrators a live event. So in preparation for another fun Stampin’ Up! event I’ve create this card to swap while I’m there.

This card uses the simple masking technique to create a monochromatic image as it’s focal point. I really like how it turned out. The Blending Brush gives it a soft subtle edge and creates a nice contrast to the bold colors behind it.

Want to see how I made it? I’ve created a Video Tutorial for you and also a PDF with the complete supply list, measurement, and step by step instructions.

Peace to You

Posted on by

The nativity image in all it’s simplicity is always a lovely image for our holiday cards.

Traditional images of Christmas, always bring holiday memories and the meaning of the season home. The Peace to You stamp set (159776) gives that and more with its lovely sentiments. Here are three lovely cards made with the set, these first two are done in Evening Evergreen and Soft Succulent.

This first card uses Whimsical Woodland 3D Embossing Folder (159831) to add some texture to the background.

The fun fold on this nativity scene allows it to stand and be displayed making it a little extra special. And this final card is done in Night of Navy and Silver Foil.

Simple and elegant. I think you’ll enjoy the Peace to You stamp set (159776) for your Christmas Crafting needs.

The Lights Aglow Suite

Posted on by

Want a rich elegant Suite of products for your holiday crafting? If so you’ll want to check out the Lights Aglow Suite (159556). It’s filled with rich colors, metallic shimmer and 2 great bundles for your stamping needs.

Today I’m going to share some cards that have made using products from this Suite with you. These first 2 cards use the bold evergreen image from the Christmas Lights Bundle (159961) as their focal point.

They also team up the Double Oval Punch (154242) making the sentiments quick and easy to do. Since the Christmas Lights Bundle contains images only, it’s easy to use your favorite sentiment set, and basic punch shapes like this are always wonderful to have in your crafting supplies and are great for the beginning stamper too. These next cards use the beautiful sentiments from the Brightest Glow Bundle (159552).

You’re going to love the Lights Aglow Specialty Designer Series Paper (159535). The 6×6 size makes it perfect for quick and easy cards and the gold accents are lovely.

These last two cards use this bundle and other papers from the Mini Catalog. As you can see these sentiments and label dies have tons of uses for your crafting this fall.

Why not stop by my Online store and check out the Lights Aglow Suite of products? And remember the Suite is a simple way of ordering everything with one item number, but you can always use the individual item numbers and still get the 10% saving on the Bundles.

All Bundled Up

Posted on by

Cute little forest creatures make up this fun stamp set for the holidays.

The All Bundled Up stamp set (159824) is sure to bring smiles to the receipents face, after all who can resist a cute little forest creature? Check out these cards made using the set teamed up with other products from our Mini. I just love the fun tassel on this guys hat – our In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon (159196) has a knot in the center and then the ends have been frayed.

This fun card has added color to the images using a fun technique called Damp Tipped Watercolor pen ink painting. The technique gives a more textured look. It also added a bit of shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella. Can you see the shimmer on the hat and scarf?

And how about this next card done in blues?

The Adhesive Backed Stars (159965) add a bit of iridescent shine and are beautiful in person. And finally a card with the cute little racoon.

Watercolor Pencils were used to give him a soft feel and the lovely Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (159555) adds a bit of shimmer and shine to the project. And this ribbon is a dream to work with since it picks up the colors from the project you are working on and ties beautifully.

So what do you think? Which card is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know, then stop by my Online Store and check it out today?

So if you love Scotties or have a friend or family who does this might be a perfect choice for you! check out these fun cards using the Christmas Scottie stamp set (159740) and Scottie Dog Punch (159743). This first card is quick and easy with it’s simple stamping and punching.

Done in Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade it is bright and cheerful. And this next card is done in Parakeet Party. It’s monochromatic so it makes it great for someone who is just beginning their stamp journey.

Want a more traditional holiday look? How about this next card that uses the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) and Santa Express Designer Series Paper (159582)

A bit of stamping was used to create this back drop. Done in Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana it has a fresh fun feel to the card.

And can you see the texture in the background? The Gingham Embossing Folder (157627) was used. And speaking of gingham… The Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper (159651) was used to create this fun classic red and black combination.

Once again the Gingham Embossing Folder was used to add texture to the bow and the Festive Pearls (159963) add a bit of shimmer and shine too.
