The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

February 8, 2022
I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

Please watch the video to see how to do this. Here are some tips:
- I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
- Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
- If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink.
- I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.
- You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.
I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.

The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

Here's the video! Click on the picture below to watch it. The Whitewashing Technique is the 2nd project I share.

How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

February 7, 2022
We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card!

I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.

Isn't it extraordinary!? Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

Below is the template with measurements. Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.

I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to. It could be placed in the fold of any card you make!

The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!

The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink. I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card.

Here are the measurements for the card:
- Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2"
  White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
  Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
  Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8"
  Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
- the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here
You can see what the card looks like closed in the picture above; on the left.

Who knew?!

February 5, 2022

If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed!

One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos. She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me! Incredible!

I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.

Thank you, THANK YOU!! You are why I LOVE what I do!

If you're not following me on YouTube yet, here's the link.
