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

December 28, 2021

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!

Use the stamp in a new way on this card! Hello Harvest projects

September 20, 2022
Here's a pretty card I shared on last week's FB live video; it features the Hello Harvest bundle.

Save

I cased the idea from my friend Dawn Olchefske; changing it up a bit. The main floral image is stamped twice (once upside down) and the greeting covers where they meet. You can see this image in the stamp set below.

It might look like there's an entire strip of designer paper under the main card layers. But it's just a few small pieces of the Rustic Harvest DSP at the top & bottom of the Vanilla card. Check out the Hello Harvest bundle here.

Save

I colored the floral image in with Blends markers in Daffodil, Fresh Freesia, Light Old Olive and Calypso Coral. I also added a bit of color to the pretty greeting banner.

Measurements are:
- Vanilla 5 ½” X 8 ½”, 3 ½” X 4 ½” & scrap for greeting
- Espresso 3 5/8” X 4 5/8”
- DSP is 1” X 2 ¼”

September 19, 2022
I played with the Hello Harvest bundle on last week's FB Live video and this is one of the cards I made.

Save

It's a unique fun fold that's quite easy. It's inspired by my friend Susie Wood. Check out her blog here; she does tons of fun fold cards! I know you'll want to try this one!

I made the first card with a Soft Suede card base and then second guessed myself and made the second one in Pumpkin Pie. Which do you prefer?

Almost everything else is the same except the layers around the pumpkins & DSP layers.

Here are the measurements:
- Card base; 4” X 11” scored at 2” X 3 ¾” from each end, & 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- White 3 ½” X 3 ¼”, inside is 3 1/8” X 3 ¾” plus Stylish Shapes greeting die-cut
- Gingham Cottage DSP 3 ¼” X 3” & 2 strips at 1" X 4", Green or pumpkin panel is 3 5/8” X 3 3/8”
