• 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.

• Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too

  December 27, 2021

  ---

  I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet! 

  ~~~

  Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

  This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

  For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.

  I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut.

  You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques.

  The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting.

• Gingerbread & Peppermint fun fold cards – easy to replicate!

  December 24, 2021

  ---

  Merry Christmas!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.

  We made this neat card at my December Card Clubs. I love the double Z fold design. And it makes great use of both card stock and designer paper! 

  I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint bundle for the stamps & dies.  Unfortunately it's sold out already.  And so is the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper. Retiring Holiday Catalog time is so hard!

  But you can use this card layout with other designs and occasions.  One thing I love about this card is that the inside accordion piece is perfectly sized to get 4 out of an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock so it's great for mass producing.

  The colors are Real Red, White & Mossy Meadow.  

  Measurements: 

  • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    Mossy Meadow 2 3/4" X 8 1/4" scored every 2 3/4"
    DSP 2 1/2" X 4" for front, two squares at 2 1/2"
    White 2 1/2" for inside greeting, scrap for die-cut label

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  Other products used here:

  • Real Red 3/8" Mini Ruffled ribbon (Holiday catalog)
  • Meadow dies for the pretty greeting label die-cut
  • Clear rhinestones
