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.

    I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!  

    Join me here tomorrow night.  Prep the pieces, gather some supplies and we'll stamp together! 

    I used the Queen Anne's Lace stamp set seen here in Misty Moonlight, White & Seaside Spray.

  • Prized Peony bundle; wow!

    Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month.  They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here. 

    June Mary Peony Garden Save

    Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite.  She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals.  The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here. 

    June Mary Peony Garden Save

    Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves.  That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.  

    You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy.  It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily.  You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time.  I made a video of it here on FB.

    See the whole Prized Peony Bundle here.
