How to create a beautiful scene with the Peaceful Pier set; a free project sheet & video tutorial

June 9, 2025

I shared a video tutorial on how to create this gorgeous scene last week.

I used the Peaceful Pier stamp set, inks and blending brushes.

I first stamped the dock and tree images using Black Memento ink. Then added a few more 'grass' images at the bottom. Next you add ink with Blending Brushes. I used Lost Lagoon for the water, Granny Apple Green for the grass, Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight for the sky.

I did color the dock and trees with Blends markers. I did not need to mask anything. As long as you're adding ink lightly with the Blending Brushes you shouldn't need to.

After I was finished adding color I used the Textured Notes dies to cut my image into 2 pieces. Ad added the frame to a Black CS layer and added the center with Stampin' Dimensionals. I love the dimension this gives to the card scene.

If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go. Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:
1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
3. To get the best deal.
4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
7. Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.
I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up! Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'

We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online. Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early. It's a fantastic thing to be a part of!

Details on being a Demonstrator:
- Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active. Stop ordering when you want.
- There's no pressure to sell or hold events.
- Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
- And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
- Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum!
- SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it. For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100. This means you're receiving an even better deal!
- Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!! And that counts towards your minimum!

Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!

May 14, 2021

I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black. You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.

Which one do you prefer?

Save

The reviews were mixed. Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more. But others liked the White for a softer look.

The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut. See these dies here and the bundle here.

Save

The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. The oval is from the Double Oval punch.

Below is the video where I demo'd this card. Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!

Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?

May 13, 2021

I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite. Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?

Save

My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink. See it here or on page 96-97. It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds. Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!

Save

Here's a close up of the card. Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?

Save

Yes; I did stamp it! These images are so neat! I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps. See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..!

And look at the leaves die-cuts! I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper. The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies.

Here's the FB Live replay video. Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it. FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.
