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

February 14, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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

February 13, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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.

Save

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