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!

    On last week Tuesday's FB live I created a bunch of projects featuring the Circle Celebration stamp set in the Spring catalog.  You can see it here. 

    The Triple Time Stamping technique is when you stamp on three pieces of card stock all at once.  I layered just the White pieces in place and adhere them together slightly. This holds them in place while stamping with the fun circle images.

    Then you adhere them to the larger Navy card stock pieces.  Watch the video below to catch my tips.  It's the first project of three in the video. 

    I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Best Year stamp set for the greeting with a few loops of Daffodil Ruched ribbon. 

    The colors in the card above are Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight and Smoky Slate.  It is my Creative Card Color Combo last week. 

    Here is the video; I hope you watch it for these fun projects!

  • Pretty Window card


    Later today the Retired List will be out for the 2019 Annual Catalog!  Items will be available while supplies last. Rococo Rose card stock is already sold out.  Stay tuned; I'll post it as soon as it's out! Or click here after 2 pm Central Time. 

    I created this card for a Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  The theme was to make a 'Window' card.  

    My colors are Balmy Blue, Black & White here.  That pretty flower is fussy cut from the True Love Designer Series paper seen here and colored with Balmy Blue Blends.  It's my very favorite paper! 

    I textured the Balmy Blue CS before I die-cut the window; cutting them both at the same time.
