An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

Calming Camelia In Color Save

I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.

The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project.

Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors!

This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors!

  • Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP

    I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here. 

    Silver & Gold with Simply Fabulous Save

    I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here.  I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

    I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide.  If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up!  They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.

    The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  I love the unique and playful shape of it.

  • Changing up this fancy fold from a men’s card to glitzy!

    I created this neat double-flap fancy fold card for last month's Card Clubs.  It features the He's the Man suite seen here or on pages 78-79 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!   

    June He's the Man Save

    The colors include Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & White. 

    Details:

    • The White & banner die-cuts are from the All That dies; but get the stamp set & dies in a bundle at an extra 10% off here.  
    • The DSP is from the He's the Man paper
    • All greetings are from the He's All That stamp set. 
    • The background is stamped using Versamark ink on the Soft Succulent panel. 
    • The inside white is a die-cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

    I created a video showing you how to make it; click here to watch.  Or scroll down to the bottom of this post.  It looks hard but is sooo easy!  

    June He's the Man Save

    Measurements

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"; cut off 1 1/2" of the card front.
    • side flap is 3" X 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the long side
    • He's the Man DSP 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"

    I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!  

    Texture Chic & He's the Man Save

    I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper.  I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies. 

    The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog. 

    Texture Chic & He's the Man Save

    This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies.  The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.

    I love the double flap of this fancy fold!   Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards.  I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!
