Today I'm sharing the 2nd group of cards Candace made featuring the Gone Fishing suite.  If you missed the first batch, click here to see them.  

GONE FISHING BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

She was our Artist of the Month for June and chose this special bundle; so unique and perfect for the fishermen (and fisherwomen!).  See the Gone Fishing bundle here. 

This first card is filled with layers and details – well all of them are really!  

Gone Fishing 2 Save

The colors include Misty Moonlight, Petal Pink and Pebbled Path.  She added Wink of Stella to the fish, and bobbin.  That fish is gorgeous. I love the wavy cut DSP at the top and her sponged sky.  And did you notice the rhinestone 'bubbles'?  

Below is the inside of this card; she always adds details to her card inside layer. 

Gone fishing 2a Save

Next is a fun fold card where the center panel lifts up.  It's adhered to a 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" layer. 

Gone Fishing 5 Save

Her colors include Pebbled Path and Misty Moonlight with a bit of Vanilla and Boho Blue. 

The folded panel is 3" wide X 8" tall and scored at 4". The DSP is 5 1/4" X 4" in the back and the front panel is 2 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Next is a neat card featuring the Spiral Dye. She stamped it twice; once in Pool Party and once in Lost Lagoon.  

Gone Fishing tie dye Save

The Stitched die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. Notice that shiny paper banner?  That is the new Holographic Trio specialty paper on page 127 of the Annual Catalog.  

I'll share more of her amazing projects tomorrow.  Don't miss the next set!

  • Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers for fast pretty cards!

    I ran out of thank you cards for online orders and needed some made fast.  I reached for our pretty designer papers and made these 11 cards in less than an hour!  

    Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers quick cards Save

    Each piece of designer paper is 3" X 5 1/2". I used Dainty Flowers Sale-a-Bration DSP and Awash in Beauty paper from the Annual catalog.

    From one sheet of 12 X 12" paper this card design gave me 8 card fronts!  They are adhered to the Good Things cards & envelopes. They are unavailable now, but they were an addon product for Paper Pumpkin subscribers in January.  *It pays to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get these great add-ons!  Get a pre-paid subscription here

    I had a bunch of white pre-cut & punched greeting labels and simply stamped the thank you on them (greeting from Thanks a Bunch SAB carrot set).  Then I grabbed more 'extra' items I had on my desk and embellished each card.  Some have ribbons, punched leaves or flowers and embellishments.  It was fun to add on these extras.

  • In the Country; which do you prefer? ‘Color’ or Black & White? Video & cool tip!

    Happy Valentine's Day!  

    I should be sharing a Valentine card today, but I sent them out to my family last week before I took photos! Sheesh! Here's one by Stampin' Up! using the Love for You bundle; you can see it on page 11 of the Spring Catalog.

    LOVE FOR YOU BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save
      

    Here are a few more cards featuring the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 purchase in February.  See it here. 

    I shared multiple ways to use this set and options for coloring too.  I know many people do not want to color every bit of a scene like this. So I shared a variety of alternate card ideas like this one shown here.  

    In the Country both Save

    On the colored version above I simply used my Blending Brushes with Granny Apple Green & Balmy Blue.  Simple but effective.  After coloring I cut the scene out with a Stitched Rectangle die.  I used the 5th from the largest for the scene and the 2nd from the largest for the outside of the White layer. 

    Here's another set of cards.  I used Blending Brushes for most of the color – Balmy Blue & Sahara Sand. I did add a bit of Dark Calypso Coral to a few areas with a Blends marker.  

    In the Country both Save

    The greetings are from the Sending Support stamp set.  This set can be seen here and is also free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February of 2023.  

    For the greeting die-cut I used a die from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.  I changed the size of this die by cutting it once and then again to make it shorter.  I get a lot more use of my dies this way!

    Which do you prefer?  Color or no color?

  • In the Country with the Spotlighting Technique & video; a great alternative to coloring

    On last week's FB Live I played with the In the Country stamp set seen here showing a variety of ways to color (or not) these scenic images. 

    Today I'm showing the cards featuring the 'Spotlighting' technique.  This is a great alternative to coloring the entire image.  

    In the Country spolighting Save

    I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the oval die-cut. See them here.  I also used the Sending Support stamp set seen here.  Both this and the In the Country stamp set are free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase through February.  

    I stamped the image first in Black ink and then die-cut the oval layers.  I used the Wink of Stella and Classic ink to color.  I love using Wink to color because the images end up sparkly.  

    In the Country spolighting Save

    If you don't have a Wink of Stella yet; I highly recommend them.  They're a subtle way of adding shimmer or sparkle to your projects.  And as you can see, you can use it for coloring too! I show how in the video below. 

    Tip wink of stella coloring . Save

    Tip: when the fluid in the Wink of Stella runs out, add a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the barrel.  You'll get quite a bit more use of it.

    All of the layers are adhered down but the colored oval and greeting; they're popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

    I added a piece of Fancy Florals DSP to the card base.  I cut a piece at 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it in half for two cards. Other measurements are shown below.

    I love the effect this Spotlighting technique gives.  It's fun and unique and saves time too!
