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

April 11, 2024

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.

Welcome cards made with scraps & Field & Flower DSP

February 11, 2021

This week I've been sharing cards made with this beautiful Flower & Field DSP; it's free with any $50 order in February during Sale-a-Bration. See it here.

I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week. I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create!

Look at the fun colors and layouts! I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played. Have you ever done this?

Save

This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background. Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully. Looking at these cards now I just love i

This Designer Paper is free with any $50 order this month. But it ends February 28th! Plus you never know if they could run out. So don't wait!

Save

If you have a nice size wish list I hope you'll consider purchasing the Stampin' Up! Starter kit. It is such a great deal and no one on my Team has ever regretted it! In fact most say they wish they'd done it sooner!

While I'm very, very grateful for the $100 orders I'm getting I cannot help think that the order could be a Starter Kit purchase! Free shipping and 20% off future orders.

Save

Did you know?

In the Starter kit you get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6×6 DSP ($57.50), a free past Paper Pumpkin kit ($21) with no shipping on any of this ($20.35).

So instead of $223.85… you pay just $99?! What? Amazing!

Field & Flower Mystery Card

February 10, 2021

I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team. I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card. They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card.

This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's currently free with any $50 order US.

Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card:

Save

In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon. I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here). Look at this amazing stitching!

Save

The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die! The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal. It really doesn't matter what your angle is. Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut. So easy!
