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.

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.

I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card:

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts. It was actually very easy to do! I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors. I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems.

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging. I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen. That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies! Can you see the shimmer on the flowers? I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.

Happy May Day!! Check out this neat basket with template!

May 1, 2021

Sharon brought these amazing hand made baskets to our last Flowerbug's gathering.

Aren't they fabulous? It was sweet & generous of her!

For the fresh flowers basket she used the Fine Art Gallery designer paper in the Jan-June catalog.

Save

She cut down a small milk carton to insert inside the paper basket so we could add water. She added a metal frog to the inside of it to add the flowers securely. The fresh flowers lasted over a week!

Would you like to know how she made the basket? Well she made a template to share with you all as well! Download Sharon's Basket here

For the candy basket she used a brand new Pansy Petals designer paper in the new 2021 Annual Catalog.

Have a wonderful May Day!!
