Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial

July 24, 2023

I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week. I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle. Check out the background!

I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!

I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.

Gorgeously Made Countryside Corners card

I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.

The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings.

There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues. If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues. Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.

Crazy HUGE BOGO & Fundraiser Event; Septemer 29th.

September 28, 2020
Tuesday, September 29th I'm holding a HUGE Birthday BOGO Sale! (It's my birthday today!) I'm selling 100's of retired Stampin' Up! products at this event. I don't save any of my retired items and have to clear it all out to make room for new! *I've vowed to myself I won't store anything outside of my studio.

Save

If you're local to me in Minot, tell your friends about this amazing event where you get FREE product with purchase of retired items. Yes! It's crazy!

I may be able to offer some extras to long distance customers after the event. There's just too much to list until some is sold.

It's at my home studio at 429 Cedon Drive in Minot, ND from 4-7 pm.
- Come with a wish list for quick ordering
- Stock up on card stock, In Colors or anything in our three catalogs!
- Masks are encouraged!
- There should be plenty of room to shop; retired items are outside and ordering is in!
- Orders can be shipped to your home or mine; your choice!
At the same time we're holding a Medical fundraiser for my stamping friend Donna who has had multiple hospitalizations and surgeries. Insurance isn't covering much at all. We're selling hand made cards, gifts, baked goods and more. Free will offerings accepted!

Remember this is a rare event; don't miss it!
