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!

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!

• Mini Coffee Carriers; a special gift with treats & glue stands!

  November 20, 2020

  ---

  Have you noticed the mini coffee carriers on page 9 of the Holiday catalog? They're actually quite large and should not be called mini!  You can see the entire suite here. 

  My friend Marilyn made this one for me; casing the catalog project on page 10.  It's so cool! 

  Save

  She used the Heartwarming Hugs and Wrapped in Christmas stamp set.  She wrapped her coffee cups with Real Red CS. Tip; use strong adhesive like Tear & Tape for this. 

  Save

  Here's another version. I made these for my Flowerbug's Team that attended OnStage@Home a few weeks ago.  It was filled with treats, apple cider packet and a liquid glue stand that we make *see photo below

  Save

  I actually sprayed my coffee cups with a mixture of rubbing alcohol and Real Red ink refill.  

  Here are the Multipurpose Glue stands included in the gift above. We have them available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each.

• Three easy cards with Curvy Christmas set

  November 19, 2020

  ---

  I mentioned I'd made quite a few cards with the Curvy Christmas stamp set.  I wanted to share a few of them.  

  To clarify these products, the Curvy Christmas & Classic Christmas 6" Designer Paper will be available through January 4th or while supplies last.  You can see it all here: 

  Save

  I used the pine bow to create a garland and added a fussy cut bow. Super quick card! 

  Save

  Here I used the Pine Tree punch and Perfectly Plaid stamp set with the Classic Christmas DSP.  The White card base measures 5 1/2" X 7", scored at 4 1/4".  Add a 1" strip of DSP on the inside right edge.  

  Save

  Above I used the Curvy Dies on my White layer.  Look how perfectly the dies match the stamp!  I added a few greenery die-cuts and one from the Poinsettia dies on the top. I may have gotten a little carried away with my Red rhinestones!  

  Remember that all online orders in November get my 22 project PDF for the Curvy Celebrations bundle.  Order online here.
