Inked & Tiled with a gorgeous background with video & blending tips!


Today I'm sharing one of my favorite cards I've made this month. These colors are so me!  I needed to make 28 of these for the Norway cruise with Stampin' Up! We have to option of joining a card swap and I always try to do something unique for this special swap. 

I chose the new Copper Clay with Black and Coastal Cabana. Aren't they beautiful together? 

This card features the new Inked & Tiled stamp set seen here. It actually comes in a bundle with two punches. But I didn't use those here.  

After I stamped the flowers in Black ink I used Blending Brushes to add both Coastal Cabana and Copper Clay ink.  We have both regular and small Blending Brushes now.  For a background like this I recommend the larger set of brushes. See them here.

Tip: when wanting a smooth blend, I recommend adding ink to your brush and start off of your paper. Slowly work your way on with a soft, gentle swirling motion. Adding pressure can give you blotches or other marks.  It's also helpful to have a fully inked pad.  *Remember that is helps to add ink a little at a time. It can be a slow process! 


Isn't that texture gorgeous with the blended background?!  

When I was creating this card I made the card on the right first.  If you look closely the stamped panel does not have any texture on it.  Adding the Exposed Brick embossing created the perfect finish!  


In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set.  

You can watch me make this card on the video here. Or click on the photo below to watch.

  • Timeless Tidings fun fold card kit to go with tutorial


    My other September card kit is the Timeless Tidings card kit which features all fun fold layouts.

    This designer paper includes multiple printed tags and other elements that makes creating quick and easy. Look!

    Each of the cards above has a unique fold and the layouts make the most of the fun tags and printed elements in the kit.

    There are 3 different layouts and you’ll make 3 of each. Besides the Timeless Tidings DSP I also added the 3 color Christmas twine and the Christmas berries & leaves to the cards.

    The pre-cut kit includes 1/2 pkg of the designer paper and a share of the twine and berries/leaves gems. You’ll receive the PDF tutorial AND all pre-cut pieces. To complete your cards just add stamped greetings and cut your new DSP using the tutorial provided. Everything else is done for you. It’s so fun to play and create with these pre-cut kits; I get a ton of compliments and lots of repeat customers.

    Click here to opt in for the pre-cut kit – $32 plus shipping. The kits will ship out in mid September.

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16. The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment; check your spam or junk folder.

  • Sunflower Fields card kit to go; or PDF tutorial option. Reserve yours!


    Fall is coming soon for some of us and the new Sunflower Fields designer series paper may be just what you need to get your autumnal cards made.

    I chose it for one of my September card kits to go. You can see the entire suite here.

    Most of these cards are special fun fold layouts and one includes a gift card option. I design my card kits to feature the designer paper, ribbons and gems. You don’t need any special stamps to finish them; only greetings.

    My pre-cut kits to go include all pre-cut pieces including die-cuts and punched pieces. You will receive 1/2 pkg of the Sunflower Fields designer paper and will use the measurements in the tutorial to cut them for each card. Everything else is cut for you.

    You also receive a share of the Golden Glow ribbon and the Radiant Gems; it’s about $20 in Stampin’ Up! products! The PDF tutorial is included in the price of $32 plus shipping. I highly recommend adding on another card kit to save on shipping costs.

    You can get the pre-cut kit to go here. There is also a PDF tutorial option for $17 here.

    See all of the choices in my shop here. I have many other kits or tutorials available.

    I’ll share my second card kit to go tomorrow; think Christmas!

  • Sharing the Poetic Petals bundle in a unique way! Video & free project sheet too.


    Here’s the card I shared on last week’s Live video. It features the new Poetic Petals bundle.

    Isn’t it cute?! The colors are Barely Blush with Lemon Lolly and Old Olive. I die-cut the floral square and the Perennial Postage outer edge at the same time. Then I colored the flowers, frame and leaves with Blends markers. The frame is reinserted into the window and secured together with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Watch the video to see how it’s done.

    The Poetic Petals bundle is new this month and available in our online store.

    The stamp set is wonderful with mixed fonts and greetings for many occasions. You can see the bundle here. But the dies are what sold me:

    There are 6 dies in this set; three frames and three inside floral die-cuts.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. You can click here to access it.

    I also shared how to make it in a video seen below. I hope you watch it. I also share many of the new September specials happening with Stampin’ Up!
