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. 

July 21 Starburst technique Save

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.

  • Pretty Detailed Dogwood card swaps

    Today I'm sharing a few swaps I received featuring the new Detailed Dogwood stamp set – one of the choices in the 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Trayce Bauer made this stunning card using Bubble Bath, Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow.

    Detailed Dogwood Trayce Bauer Save

    She fussy cut the flowers out and added them to the Bubble Bath layer that has been embossed using the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – also from our Sale-a-Bration selection.

    I love how she added the dotted image to create a background on both the white layer and the greeting! The greeting die is from the Thoughtful Expressions dies.  

    Below is a photo of the stamp set.  See it here online.

    DETAILED DOGWOOD CLING STAMP SET Save

    It's free with a $100 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February 29th when Sale-a-Bration ends.  

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Angie Leach. 

    Detailed Dogwood Angie Leach Save

    She used a beautiful set of neutral colors – Pebbled Path, Wild Wheat, Mossy Meadow and Copper Clay. The large white die is from the Postage dies. Wow!

    I love the layout. Adding a few strips below your main focal point adds balance and interest and ties the colors together too. 

    ~~~

    This last card is also a swap I received but I cannot give credit to the creator as there wasn't a name on it. 

    Detailed Dogwood in red Save

    Her colors of Black, Real Red and White are stunning! Note the simple stamped background on the large White layer, mimicking the main floral image.  That dragonfly is such a neat image. It does not coordinate with our Dragonfly punch unfortunately.

  • 2 card ideas with Cradled in Love – a sweet set that’s free during Sale-a-Bration

    One of the free stamp set choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog is the Cradled in Love set.  A sweet group of stamps perfect for baby cards.  See this stamp set here. 

    Here's a quick card I created for my Open House boards: 

    Cradled in Love Save

    My colors include Flirty Flamingo, White & Smoky Slate.  That large die-cut is from our new Perennial Postage dies seen here. 

    Cradled in Love Save

    I paired it with the new Most Adored specialty designer paper – another free option during Sale-a-Bration this year. I added a 2" wide strip under the main element diagonally. 

    Both the stamp set and paper are available through February or while supplies last.  See this pretty paper here.  It's filled with gold foil designs on one side and Flirty Flamingo & Real Red on the other. 

    MOST ADORED 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    This photo does not show it well at all.  The colors are rich and gorgeous!

    Below is a super cute swap card I received from my friend Amy Storrie.  

    Cradled in Love Save

    She used the Lighter Than Air designer paper, Highland Heather, Lemon Lolly, Gray and White. That adorable scalloped border from the Basic Borders dies adds so much!  I just love it!
