How to add color to the Peaceful View stamp – video tutorial too!


Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's live video.  Both featured the amazing and beautiful Peaceful View stamp set seen here.  

I used Balmy Blue, Pecan Pie and White card stock.  Inks include Balmy blue, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green and Pecan Pie. I used a Blending Brush with Balmy Blue ink to lightly color the sky before stamping. 

Notice the fence. If you look closely you'll see the woodgrain in the fence. This was done by using an Early Espresso Stampin' Write marker to add to the stamped fence directly on the cardstock. It was mostly Pecan Pie colored before.  

How did I color the image?  I inked the trees with Old Olive ink first using the direct to stamp method. The I used Pecan Pie on the grass and fence.  I used a sponge dauber to remove ink from the plants on the bottom so I could add Green ink to them with a sponge dauber.  I used Pecan Pie ink and a sponge dauber to add color to the trunk as well.  I hope you'll watch the video below to watch this in action. 

For the greetings I stamped the More Messages stamp a few times and used the coordinating die to cut them all out.  I had lots to choose from this way and can save them to use whenever I need it. Here I added Balmy Blue ink lightly to color the greeting.

What I love about this new messages bundle is that the greetings and die-cuts are such a nice size; larger than ever before. See the bundle here.

Below is the video for this card and another where I show you how to use this stamp on pretty designer paper for a stunning background. I shared that yesterday here.

  • Everyday Details Fun Fold card


    I hope you enjoyed your New Year's weekend. We had a nice 3 day weekend with no plans at all. My husband was in the mood to clean and organize so we did lots of cleaning, boxing up donated items and taking down outside Christmas lights.

    Plus we made some fabulous meals, put together a puzzle and watched some of our favorite shows. I love a relaxing yet productive weekend!

    This is one of the swap cards I made last month.  I joined 6 swaps and had to make around 18-22 of each. 

    It features the new Everyday Details bundle and the new Rock & Roll designer paper. Both are new products in our upcoming 2024 Spring catalog – it goes live on Thursday, January 4th!   

    I stamped the nest image on one of the die-cuts in the bundle and the greeting on another.  

     

    Other details:

    • White card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 3" & 7 1/4"
    • Rock & Roll DSP is 2 3/4" X 5 1/4"
    • Coastal Cabana is 1" X 5 1/4"; textured with the Basics 3D emboss folder
    • The eggs are colored with Wink of Stella and Coastal Cabana ink.

  • Happy New Year!! Sharing a successful Fundraising Event!


    Happy New Year!!  


    I hope your new year is filled with Peace, Good Health, Happiness & Prosperity 

    ~~~

    I thought I'd share the event we held on December 16th. My local friends and I held a big fundraising Holiday Bazaar to benefit a few local non-profit organizations.

    It was held at our church and as you can see it was jam packed with fabulous handmade crafts & goodies. We offered tons of crafts, gifts, handmade cards, baked & home-canned goods, cookie trays & more.  Plus we had a silent auction, vendors and lunch! 

    It was a great success as we raised over $3200 for our charities! It was a fun-filled day and the time & effort was well worth it to support our local non-profits.
