• 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.

  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.
