In the Country; which do you prefer? ‘Color’ or Black & White? Video & cool tip!


Happy Valentine's Day!  

I should be sharing a Valentine card today, but I sent them out to my family last week before I took photos! Sheesh! Here's one by Stampin' Up! using the Love for You bundle; you can see it on page 11 of the Spring Catalog.

  

Here are a few more cards featuring the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 purchase in February.  See it here. 

I shared multiple ways to use this set and options for coloring too.  I know many people do not want to color every bit of a scene like this. So I shared a variety of alternate card ideas like this one shown here.  

On the colored version above I simply used my Blending Brushes with Granny Apple Green & Balmy Blue.  Simple but effective.  After coloring I cut the scene out with a Stitched Rectangle die.  I used the 5th from the largest for the scene and the 2nd from the largest for the outside of the White layer. 

Here's another set of cards.  I used Blending Brushes for most of the color – Balmy Blue & Sahara Sand. I did add a bit of Dark Calypso Coral to a few areas with a Blends marker.  

The greetings are from the Sending Support stamp set.  This set can be seen here and is also free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February of 2023.  

For the greeting die-cut I used a die from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.  I changed the size of this die by cutting it once and then again to make it shorter.  I get a lot more use of my dies this way!

Which do you prefer?  Color or no color?

  • Unique Double Triangle fun fold with free project sheet & video


    Today I’m sharing a super neat fun fold card from last week’s video. I featured brand new products from our Online store. The suite is called Delicate Dreams and it’s beautiful! See it here.

    I shared two of the cards here in the last few days. Today I’m sharing the most unique one.

    Both upper and lower triangles pull out to reveal this:

    It’s made from two scored pieces that overlap in the center. I scored each on at 5 1/2″ and then at an angle as well. Please watch the video below to see how it’s done. It’s fairly confusing to use the tutorial only.

    This is how it looks when you open the right side only.

    I stamped the ‘wheat’ looking image using Stazon ink because the Earthen Toned Metallic foil would resist a water-based ink. This specialty foil paper coordinates beautifully with the bronze print in this DSP.

    That pretty ribbon is the Secret Sea open weave ribbon. The greeting is from January’s product of the Month – the Fabulous Sayings stamp set. It’s sold out now; they’re available only while supplies last.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for these cards; be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel. Or follow me on Facebook here; I share a video almost every Tuesday at 11 am CT.

  • A neat overlapping fun fold card with free project sheet, video & punch trick!


    Yesterday I shared one of the three fun fold cards I made in the video tutorial last week. Today I’m sharing the second one.

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, White and the retired Boho Blue. The colors in the new Delicate Dreams DSP includes a brand new In Color coming out in May. It’s called Hydrangea Hue. I don’t have it yet so I had to substitute.

    The Delicate Dreams designer paper AND the Delicate Whispers bundle are out of stock right now but you can add your email to the list to be notified when it’s available. Click on the links to do this. They should be back in stock in a few weeks.

    The front top flap overlaps the lower one. I added a strip of the Boho Blue and besides texturing it with the Beautiful Pattern embossing folder I used my To the Point punch to mimic the Mossy Meadow punched piece. I love this punch!

    Here’s how you do it.

    You must insert the layer in the back of the punch and wiggle it between the slot. You don’t insert it through the usual space. See the card stock sticking out of the upper part of the punch? *If you don’t want the usual size of your punch this is how it’s done.

    Here’s the inside view of this card with the upper flap lifted:

    And here’s the view with both flaps lifted:

    Notice the colored die-cut on the White layer here? I cut that die from the White layer and sponged it with Mossy Meadow ink. Then re-inserted it into the White CS. I love this effect!

    I’ll share the last card tomorrow. Don’t miss it!

  • Delicate Dreams fun fold cards with free project sheet & video tutorial


    The beautiful Delicate Dreams suite is new in our online products. The designer paper is especially pretty but unfortunately it’s out of stock right now. So popular! I had planned to offer it as one of my kit to go’s this month but it will have to wait until April.

    I shared 3 unique fun fold cards featuring this suite on last week’s video. We made them at my February Team meeting and I’ll be sharing them all this week.

    Today I’m sharing the double flap card (top right above). This neat fold gives you lots of opportunities to use your beautiful designer series paper.

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, White, Secret Sea and Earthen Metallic foil paper. That beautiful blue you see here is an upcoming NEW in color called Hydrangea Hue. It’s going to be a favorite of many!

    Check out this gorgeous new Suite here. Add your email to the list of any product that’s out of stock and you’ll be notified when it’s available.

    Once you open it there’s a surprise inside; another layer to open!

    I added a simple strip of the pretty watercolor DSP and a flower die-cut from the pretty Delicate Dreams DSP. This pretty paper has bronze foil designs all over it!

    Here’s the final inside layer. I stamped images from the Delicate Whispers stamp set.
