• In the Country with a split scene technique

  February 22, 2023

  ---

  They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products!  Including stamp sets!  But beware that many are in French.  Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.

  
  

  I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.  

  
  

  I stamped the image in Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus and colored the image in with our Watercolor Pencils. 

  One thing I always use with our Watercolor Pencils is the Blender pen.  It smooths out all of your penciled lines so easily. See it here. 

  The card base is Coastal Cabana and I added a Black layer and a simple Black strip across and under it. Simple but it sure shows off the pretty scene. 

  

  You can see the In the Country stamp set here; it's free with any $50 purchase.

• Two-Tone Flora card with more ideas in the video

  February 21, 2023

  ---

  Here's a pretty card I shared on a recent Facebook Live.  It features the Two-Tone flora bundle seen here. 

  

  My colors include Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis. I kept this card very simple to show off the beautiful detail in the flowers.  

  The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set seen here. 

  

  I used Very Vanilla to stamp on as I haven't used it much lately.  It's a softer feel than White.  Does your Vanilla need some love too? 

  

  I hope you're inspired by this fun technique.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.

• Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!

  February 20, 2023

  ---

  I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.  

  I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started!  Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

  

  The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front.  But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other.  So cool!  I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.  

  I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here. 

  Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front. 

  

  I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards. 
  

  Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut.  The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique!  I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.  

  

  The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf. 

  

  I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.  

  

  I hope you're inspired by this fun technique.  Click on the photo below to watch the video and see more cards with this bundle.
