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.

  • Get inspired by a sketch with this sweet Splash of Sparkles card


    Each month I give my Flowerbug’s a creative challenge and they can participate if they’d like. This month it was a sketch:

    You can find card sketches like this all over Pinterest or other online sites. I think they’re a wonderful and easy way to create a card. Remember that sketches are a starting point; they don’t have to be exact or even that similar. They’re a great way to be inspired.

    I chose the Splash of Sparkles specialty designer paper for mine. See it here.

    My colors include Bubble Bath, Timid Tiger, Gold & White; all inspired by the beautiful designer paper. Who would have thought to combine these colors together? But the DSP is the magic that makes it work.

    I used a few different products here:

    Here’s a link to my sketches board on Pinterest. I hope you find some to be inspired by!

    Today I’m sharing Jacki’s amazing card swap from our Team’s February swap.

    She used Pretty in Pink with Crumb Cake and the Easter Joy Specialty designer paper. The fun dies in Crumb Cake are from the Swirled Designs bundle seen here.

    This is what it looks like when you open the left flap:

    And here is the card fully opened:

  • Gorgeous Triple Fold card with Garden Poetry with video & free project sheet


    I shared this stunning card on last week’s Live video. It features a few of my favorite products..

    I chose to feature my favorite new designer paper – Garden Poetry seen here. Aren’t the patterns and watercolor backgrounds beautiful?

    This is Poppy Parade, Black & White.
    The other items I used are the Nature’s Symphony bundle, the Perennial Postage and Springtime Scenes dies (flower).

    The front left flap opens like this:

    Then you open the right side and fold the left in and this is what you see:

    I fussy cut a flower from the designer paper to add inside. The Black die-cut leaves are both from the Nature’s Symphony dies.

    Here’s the free project sheet; click here to download or print it off.

    The card was inspired by my teammate Jacki, who shared this neat fun fold in our February swap. I’ll share her card tomorrow.

    Below is the video tutorial; I hope you like it enough to make one. It’s a super fun card!
