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.

  • In Symmetry Fun-fold card with video


    I played with the In Symmetry bundle on last week's Facebook Live and wanted to share this neat fun fold card.  I got the idea for it from my good friend Susie Wood.  Here's a link to her card. 

    It's a standard A2 size card but the unique fold makes it special.  The nice thing is how easy it is to make!  And it really showcases the designer paper and Pretty Flowers embossing folder I used.  

    I chose the Navy, Calypso Coral and Bumblebee color combination because of the colors in the Sweet Symmetry DSP seen here.  The cute Navy leaves are from the Symmetrical Stems punch. I fussy cut the flower.

    You can see this bundle here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4", layer is 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 
    • Bumblebee 3 3/4" X 5"
    • DSP 2 1/2" X 4"
    • White strip 3/4" X 3 1/2", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
    • Calypso Coral strip is 7/8" X 3 3/4" 

    Here's the video from the Facebook Live with two more projects featuring this suite.  If you want to see this card only, scroll to about 24 minutes in.
