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.

  • I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

    I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

    This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

    My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

    Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.

    Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

    For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

    The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

  • 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

    Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

    I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

    Details:

    • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
    • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
    • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
    • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
    • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

    Here's how:

    • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
    • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
    • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save
    After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

    You can see a video on this technique here.
