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!

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.

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.

Save

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!

Save

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!

Impressions Abloom In Color card with free project sheet & video

May 26, 2025

I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. We made it at my card clubs in May.

Save

It features two of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush and Darling Duckling. The card base is Summer Splash. I think these colors are fabulous together.

The Strawberry Slush layer was embossed with the new Pressed Flowers embossing folder. It's part of this suite and can be seen here.

Save

I popped up the stamped oval and adhered the stitched frame flat. I added our new 2025-27 In Color flat pearls. They're awesome and can be found here. They come in the previous In Colors as well.

The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies. I'll be sharing a few cards made with it this week to convince you how great it is.

Save

This stamp set is both a 2-step set and distinktive which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.

Look at the Summer Splash flowers on each card. They're different. The card on the left was done by not matching up the flower images. It gives the look of a fuller flower compared to the card on the right. Lots of options!

Check out these cards made with the new Paper Tag bundle

May 23, 2025

I was thrilled to get this cute card in my swaps at the Disney trip. It's made by Kylie Henshaw from the UK.

Save

She used an embossing technique here; sponging colors on the white card stock first and then stamping and heat embossing the image in Black embossing powder. What a fun card! The bundle used here is the Paper Tags bundle seen below.

This next card was made by Sara, the CEO of Stampin' Up!

Save

This card was attached to this neat tote (seen below) that was one of our extra gifts on our Disney trip. The colors include Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Strawberry Slush ribbon. The die-cut and greeting are from the Paper Tags bundle seen here.

Save

The tote was filled with lots of snacks and beverages. But you know how cats are with boxes or totes! At the first opportunity Sadie jumped in and claimed it.
