Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!


I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes. 

The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time. 

I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here. 

I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade. 

I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.  

Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

    Here’s a pretty card I made with it:

    I chose to feature the Fresh Freesia vellum from the pack with the Phrases & Frames bundle seen here. It’s one of our newest set of Impression dies. They give a super deep impression when used with our new Impression plate seen here.

  • Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes


    Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

    Here’s how you do it:

    Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

     Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

     Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

    We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

    I hope this technique inspires you to try it. I think you could also do it with our Wink of Stella on any color CS.

    I have one Mystery Box left!

  • More Team swaps!


    Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

    Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

    Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

    Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

    She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

    Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
    The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

    Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.
