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

February 14, 2023

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.

Save

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?

Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

Save

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!
