• The easy way to do the Whitewashing Technique; with video

  February 8, 2022

  ---

  I've been playing with the Whitewashing Technique lately. Today I'm sharing a card I made on Facebook Live with the Honeybee Home bundle.

  You can see another group of cards I used this technique on here.

  Please watch the video to see how to do this.  Here are some tips:

  • I stamped the main image using Gorgeous Grape ink onto the same color card stock.
  • Let it dry a bit and color the image in with White Craft ink and a water painter brush.
  • If you want to see the stamped image you'll want to use a light amount of White Craft ink. 
  • I add water to some White Craft ink in a puddle and use that to 'paint'.  
  • You can paint with strokes to indicate lines on your image.

  I used the Heart & Home doilies under the Tasteful Label die-cut.  

  The background paper is the Simply Marbelous Sale-a-Bration DSP that I added a bit of Highland Heather ink to.

• How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card

  February 7, 2022

  ---

  We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card! 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

  Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

  Below is the template with measurements.  Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.

  I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make!

  The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!

  The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink.  I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card.

• Who knew?!

  February 5, 2022

  If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

  One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

  I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible!

  I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.  

  Thank you, THANK YOU!!  You are why I LOVE what I do!
