In the Country with the Spotlighting Technique & video; a great alternative to coloring

On last week's FB Live I played with the In the Country stamp set seen here showing a variety of ways to color (or not) these scenic images. 

Today I'm showing the cards featuring the 'Spotlighting' technique.  This is a great alternative to coloring the entire image.

I used the Fabulous Frames dies for the oval die-cut. See them here.  I also used the Sending Support stamp set seen here.  Both this and the In the Country stamp set are free with any $50 Stampin' Up! purchase through February.  

I stamped the image first in Black ink and then die-cut the oval layers.  I used the Wink of Stella and Classic ink to color.  I love using Wink to color because the images end up sparkly.

If you don't have a Wink of Stella yet; I highly recommend them.  They're a subtle way of adding shimmer or sparkle to your projects.  And as you can see, you can use it for coloring too! I show how in the video below.

Tip: when the fluid in the Wink of Stella runs out, add a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol inside the barrel.  You'll get quite a bit more use of it.

All of the layers are adhered down but the colored oval and greeting; they're popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  

I added a piece of Fancy Florals DSP to the card base.  I cut a piece at 4" X 5 1/4" and then cut it in half for two cards. Other measurements are shown below.

I love the effect this Spotlighting technique gives.  It's fun and unique and saves time too!

  • Easy way to make a 3 panel card with the Friendly Hello Bundle

    I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live.  It features the new Friendly Hello bundle.  The stamp set AND the 12 X 12" Designer Paper is free with any $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

    These pretty colors include Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  I colored in the bird, flowers & leaves with Stampin' Blends markers. 

    My top favorite thing about Stampin' Up! is our coordinating colors.  The fact that everything matches & coordinates so effortlessly takes so much work out of the creative process!  I used to struggle so much to get things to match before I 'met' Stampin' Up!

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, White 4” X 5 ¼”
    • Evening Evergreen 2 7/8” X 1 ¾”.
    • DSP 3 pieces 1 3/4” X 5”, 1 7/8” X 3”, 1 7/8” square

    I stamped one of the images onto the edges of my inside layer; almost like a frame.  Love this added detail!

  • 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello bundle with video & measurements

    I featured the Friendly Hello bundle on last week's Facebook Live. One of the projects is this 'latch fold' card. Click here to get to my page & I hope you'll follow me too. 

    It's normally called a Joy Fold card but I added the flowers on the lower left as a latch to hold it closed.  I like it when a fun fold card stays flat and doesn't pop open on it's own.

    The color combination is Pool Party with Fresh Freesia.  I think it's soft & springy; which we sorely need right now in North Dakota.  It's super color the last few weeks with more snow than I like!  

    Friendly Hello Latch Save

    Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle.  It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022.  It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase.  Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.  

    FRIENDLY HELLO BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I stamped the left flap of the card with the double flower image instead of texturing it.  I like the tone on tone stamping.  It adds detail without getting 'busy'.  

    I added the new Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers.  Love these so much!  I'm actually gifting a package away to everyone who places an online order over $50 this month.  See them here.

    I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade.  After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

    The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

    This pretty stamp set is free to hosts during January & February with an order over $300.  You probably think that's way too large of an order.  But there is a way around that!  Here are a few ways:

    1. Gather with a few friends and place your order together so you can earn it free. See it here. 

    2. Or contact me here for a host code just for you and a few friends.  Each of you orders using the host code and the orders count together towards Host benefits.  You'll get this stamp set free AND $36 in free product as well!  

    You can see the video below; I share a few projects as well as some beautiful Swedish stars!
