2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!

August 10, 2020

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.

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.

Save

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.

CUTE Halloween cards

September 23, 2021
Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards. Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

This first card was made by Lori. She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies.

Save

The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here. This punch is on back order until October 11th. But you CAN still order it.

I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here. And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors.

Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set. See it here.

Save

That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:
- Double Oval punch
- Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
- Parisian Flourish 3D folder
I can see this stamp set be used all year. These cats are hilarious and so true to life!

Here's one of the cards we made at my September card clubs. It features the Christmas Season bundle. But as you can see, it's not just for Christmas!

I love using non-traditional colors for Fall. I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.

Here's the Christmas Season bundle. Look at all you get! Remember this bundle is FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit through September, 2021.

You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here. That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog. Sadly it is out of stock now.

Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with. Simply add a greeting tag over it.
