2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet


Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set. 

This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad!  It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with.  See the Quiet Reflection set here. 

My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch). 

Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water?  It's so simple!  

How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce.  The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.  

I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here.  I love these so much!  They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects. 

In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.

  • A neat Accordion Fun-Fold with the new Marbled Elegance – video too!


    I played with the Marbled Elegance suite on last week's video and created this card: 

    The colors include Melon Mambo, Soft Sea Foam and Gold. I used lots of products from this new Suite including the Marbled Elegance DSP, the new Twisted Gold thread and the new Adhesive-backed heart sequins. I also used the Modern Herringbone embossing folder and the Sentimental Park dies for the greeting die-cut. 

    See this pretty suite here:

    The front and back of this card are panels measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the inside is an accordion fold that is attached to the front and back. Such an easy fold to make and I like that it uses your cardstock efficiently.

  • Pretty Petals fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    They released a big bunch of new Online Exclusive products and the Pretty Petals stamp set was one of my picks. I made a bunch of these for an online swap I joined: 

    I love the color combo of Pretty in Pink & Lost Lagoon.  But there are many other things to admire about this beautiful card:

    • the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder seen here
    • the Distinktive stamps that provide two-toned stamped images effortlessly
    • The fun-fold design – it's a book-binding Z-fold! 
    • the greeting is from the new Hearts of Elegance stamp set seen here
    • the pretty Lost Lagoon soft cording seen here 

     

    Here's the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder: 

    I used the very center strip on the embossing folder for the Pink textured layers on my cards.
