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 Tri-fold card with a pocket and video tutorial


    I LOVE this special project today!  I made it on FB Live yesterday but you can see it here on YouTube now too. 

    It features the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Merriest Moments stamp set, Iridescent Snowflakes, Basic Border and Tailor Made Tags dies.  

    They're tri-fold pocket cards made with a 5 1/2" X 12" piece of Designer Paper.  I used the Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper seen here. 

    Here's the inside view of the pink card on the top left.  I love how it shows off both sides of the Designer paper.  

    They feature multiple tags and a pocket for either a tag, gift card or photo!  

    The Basic Border and Tailor Made tags are discounted through Thursday, November 18th.  

    • Basic Border dies seen here were $29 and are now $23.20
    • Tailor Made Tag dies seen here were $22 and are now just $17.60



    The belly band slides off along with the snowflake & tags/ribbon so you can open it up to reveal the pretty inside:

    And below is the video; it's the second project I share on this FB Live replay!
