2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!


I made these technique cards on a Facebook Live in July and I know not everyone is on Facebook.  So I'm posting it here for you too. I offer a FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT and one the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT all using current Stampin' Up! products.  Join me here. 

I had a request to teach the Starburst technique and came up with this easy version. 

I used the unique and colorful Artistry Blooms designer paper from the Annual Catalog along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins.  The link to the videos is below but here are the basics: 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White CS 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Artistry Blooms DSP – cut 5 strips measuring 1 1/2" X 5" and then cut these in half on the diagonal.  Now mix and match them to the 4" X 5 1/4" piece leaving a tiny bit of space between them.  

I added greetings and die-cuts from the Tasteful Touches bundle seen here. 

Here are the other cards I made using the masking technique and the Tasteful Touches stamp set.


Which do you prefer?  Yellow or pink?

  • Make a Pig with the Cutest Cow bundle! Video & free project sheet too.


    We have just 3 days left of Sale-a-Bration! Did you get everything you wanted – for Free?!

    ~~~

    During last week's video I shared how to create a pig with the Cow Builder punch.  She's super adorable!

    I shared a cute cow card on yesterday's post; see it here.  This Cutest Cow bundle is in our Spring catalog and is back & available.  It was out of stock for a week or so. 

    You might wonder how I made the grass.  It's from the Garden Meadow dies seen here. Same with the fence! There is a stamp set with these dies too.  

    My colors are Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath & Granny Apple Green.  I made the cloudy sky with the Border Basics dies and a Blending Brush. Watch the video here to see how I put this scene together and how I made the adorable pig. 

    I created a project sheet for this card; click on this link to download or print it.  Download Cutest Cows – Pig version

    Click here or on the photo below to watch the video. I share this plus two more cards using this adorable punch bundle. And they're not just cows!

  • Cutest Cows card with video tutorial & FREE project sheet!


    There are just 4 days left of Sale-a-Bration!  The free goodies end Thursday!

    ~~~

    I shared this cute card on last week's video. We made it at my February Card Clubs. 


    Isn't it adorable?  My colors include Black, White, Pool Party & Old Olive.  The Cutest Cows bundle can be seen here.  

    Instead of using the image that fits the Cow Builder punch for the front we punched the head and body from White card stock and colored in Black spots. We did use the nose/mouth and eyes/eyebrows images though.  

    You can download & print the free project sheet by clicking here: Download Feb 24 Cutest Cows Club

    The grass is from the Garden Meadow dies seen here.  The cloud DSP is from the Sunny Days Sale-a-Bration paper and the striped paper is the Rock & Roll DSP in the Spring catalog.  

    Check out the inside: 

    I love the greetings in this bundle that work so perfectly with the cow.  'Milk it for all it's worth!'

  • Quiet Reflection and Delightful Floral Fancy Fold card swaps with measurements!


    Today I'm sharing the last of our Team fun fold swaps. I'm adding measurements for each of them.  If you've missed the previous posts please click on the title of this post and scroll to see each one.  

    The first card was made by Candy. She made a simple fold back card that is so easy but so pretty!

    She is featuring the Quiet Reflection stamp set seen here.  Her samples and the next one sold me on this set. I love that it's a monochromatic card – it's totally fitting for this set. 

    Product used: Deckled Rectangles, Softly Sophisticated stamps & embossing folder (SAB), Gold & Vanilla 3/8" satin edges ribbon

    Measurements:

    • Misty Moonlight card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • Vanilla 1 7/8" X 5 1/4" textured layer, inside is 4" X 5 1/4", die-cut is 2 1/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Misty Moonlight die-cut is 2 1/2" X 3 7/8"

    ~~~

    Karen made this next card using the same Quiet Reflection stamp set. Her beautiful card is also monochromatic; using Pebbled Path with Vanilla. 

    The front layer opens to reveal a second inside layer that opens.  Quite unique and actually easy to make too.  

    Measurements:

    • Pebbled Path card base 6 1/4" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4", front layer 2 3/4" X 3 3/4", inside is 2 7/8" X 3 3/4"
    • Vanilla front is 2 1/2" X 3 1/2", inside is 7 3/4" X 4 3/4" score at 3 7/8", greeting strip is 3 1/2" X 1/2" 
    • DSP 2" X 5 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Paula made this beautiful card with a few of our Online Exclusive products.  We have sooo many now & more coming in March! Check them all out here; I know you'll see a few new things!

    The designer paper is the Delightful Floral seen here.  She used the pretty Translucent Floral bundle for her greetings and die-cuts.  See it here. 

    Measurements:

    • Parakeet Party card base 11" X 5 1/4" score at 4" & 5 3/4" for the right two score lines. From the left score down at 1 3/4" to the 1 1/4" mark from the top and up from the bottom. Move over to the 3 1/2" mark (from the left) and do this again. Now you'll cut across from the first score line to the 5 1/4" score line and cut across.  
    • Mossy Meadow 2 1/2" square, 1 1/2" X 2 1/2", plus the back card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • White inside is 3 3/4" X 5", 2 1/4" square and 1 1/4" X 2 1/4"
    • Vellum, DSP & black pieces for flowers & leaves *she colored her vellum
    • DSP – 2 pieces 1 1/2" X 5 1/4", 4 pieces 1 1/2" X 1" 

    It's quite the special card isn't it?  It's called a side shutter card and was cased from Wendy Cranford. This paper and bundle are definitely my style. 

    I hope you've enjoyed our many samples of fancy fold cards this past week.  My Flowerbug's are the best!
