Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial


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:

  1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
  2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
  3. 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.  

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.

  • Nature’s Prints in our new Tahitian Tide in color


    I thought our new Tahitian Tide in color would pair well with Night of Navy and created this pretty card.  

    I stamped the large leaf image on the Tahitian Tide layer for a background and used that same image again on the mail White layer and just a bit on the greeting too. 

    I used it for many purposes in April – for my Flowerbug's Team make & takes, an online swap and for last week's FB Live video too.  

    You can see the measurements in the photo below:

  • Cactus Cuties Fun Fold card in new In Colors! Measurements & video.


    Last week's FB Live (seen here) included 3 fun fold cards with the Cactus Cuties bundle.  Here's the first one featuring all 5 of the brand new In Colors!

    It's cute but actually a simple fun fold to make.  You can see the measurements below as well as the video here. 

    The card base is the new Starry Sky on the card above and I switched it to the Orchid Oasis on the card below.  These two colors pair beautifully together!  I used the Parakeet Party (lime green) for the long strip and layers on the inside pieces.  

    The Cactus Builder punch punches out multiple images; including the pot, two cactus and a flower.  

    Aren't these new In Colors the best?!!  If you love them and want the 'works' click here to see my In Color bundle option.  It ends Saturday, May 7th!

  • Nature’s Prints with an easy white-washing technique video


    I made this beautiful card on Tuesday's FB live.  It's made with the Nature's Prints bundle. 

    The colors are Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky – two of our newest In Colors that pair beautifully together!  They are a rich blue with a hint of purple in the Orchid Oasis color.  The white edge on this card is made with the Blossoming Happiness dies.  

    You might wonder how I colored the leaves white.  It's called the whitewashing technique.  I stamped them in Orchid Oasis and used White craft ink, a bit of rubbing alcohol and a water brush. You can watch how it's done in the video here.  It's my first project of three.  You can see the other two below as well as a sample I cased from the catalog too.  

    They're all made with the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.  It was my top pick in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!.  

    If you're interested in getting our newest set of 5 In Colors I have a special bundle available through Saturday, May 7th.  Read about it here.  You get free product with my share options – from a ribbon share, to In Color dots to free Blends markers!
