An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

February 2, 2022

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!

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.

Save

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!

You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas

February 15, 2021

Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes. I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible! They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them!

This was my favorite and also loved by many others too. I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.

I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling.

And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper. It was Black & White but is now two-toned!

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!
