• 2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!

  August 10, 2020

  ---

  I made these technique cards on a Facebook Live in July and I know not everyone is on Facebook.  So I'm posting it here for you too. I offer a FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT and one the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT all using current Stampin' Up! products.  Join me here. 

  I had a request to teach the Starburst technique and came up with this easy version. 

  

  I used the unique and colorful Artistry Blooms designer paper from the Annual Catalog along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins.  The link to the videos is below but here are the basics: 

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • White CS 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Artistry Blooms DSP – cut 5 strips measuring 1 1/2" X 5" and then cut these in half on the diagonal.  Now mix and match them to the 4" X 5 1/4" piece leaving a tiny bit of space between them.  

  

  I added greetings and die-cuts from the Tasteful Touches bundle seen here. 

  Here are the other cards I made using the masking technique and the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

  
  

  Which do you prefer?  Yellow or pink?

  Here's a link to the video on Facebook.  Click below to watch it on YouTube.

• 3 in 1 Triple Panel cards

  August 7, 2020

  ---

  I made these pretty cards on last week's Facebook Live 'Stamp with Me' Monday night. *See video below

  The 2nd & 4th Monday's you can stamp with me Live on Facebook here.  The next one is Monday, August 10th. I post the measurements & supplies ahead of time so you can prepare.  Then afterwards you can share your cards too! 

  

  I chose to use a Triple Panel technique; at least that's what I'm calling it.  I saw a sketch like it and created my own version here.  You start out with 3 pieces of card stock or designer paper and cut them all the same way.  

  I used Bumblebee, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate for the cards above along with the Tasteful Touches bundle.  That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Birds & More dies set. 

  Measurements:

  Three pieces of card stock or DSP measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".

  Cute one full 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base of each color you use.

   

  Cutting directions:

  1st cut: Cut the first small triangle off of each piece. (On the bottom right card it's the Navy piece) Make a mark 1 1/2" from the bottom left corner and 2" from the bottom right corner. Cut this triangle off of all three pieces.

  2nd cut: Make a mark from the upper left corner across at 1 3/4". Make a mark 2" from the lower left angled edge. Cut.

  The 3rd cut isn't necessary as you'll use the angled piece left from the first two cuts.

  Now you have three different colored pieces for each card. Mix & match one color per card!

  

  On the cards above the colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Smoky Slate and the same Tasteful Touches bundle and leaf die from above.

  ---

  The August cards kit to go features the fun & unique Playful Patterns designer paper.  It's perfect for so many happy occasions. 

  

  I created 10 cards for this cards kit to go in the beautiful array of colors in the designer paper. 

  

  Aren't they neat?!  This paper totally inspired me to create fun, playful cards.  I only used a few inks too!  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, and Crushed Curry! 

  This kit to go includes $20 in product and the 10 cards pre-cut also.  Here's what's included:

  • 1/2 package of the 6" Playful Patterns designer paper

  • 1/2 pkg. of the Playful Patterns Resin Dots
  • the 10 pre-cut cards including punched & die-cut pieces
  • the pdf written tutorial sent in an email

  I used the Many Mates stamp set to finish the cards.  If you'd like to add it on you can get it at 10% off with the kit. 

  
  

  This pre-cut kits are available through August 20th.  But there is an option to get the Playful Patterns cards pdf tutorial without the kit too.
