Life is Beautiful with a beautiful masked & sponged window technique!

I like to join many online card swaps in groups with friends from all over the country; especially when new catalogs come out. 

Here is a swap I made with my Life is Beautiful stamp set; the set I helped create as a Million Dollar Achiever with Stampin' Up!  I achieved this over a year ago but the stamp set just came out this month.  You can order it now here.

I chose to use Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla card stock. The inks are Bermuda Bay, Early Espresso and Calypso Coral.  I absolutely LOVE creating masked windows! Sponging is a learned art and I have some great tips for you.  I shared this card on Facebook Live Tuesday, August 11th and uploaded the video to YouTube below.

This card is one I am so pleased with.  It shows off the pretty images included in the set so perfectly.

Do you make doubles or more of your favorite cards?  I actually really like making multiples of the same card.  But when you're doing a time consuming technique like this one it can little 'old'!  However, using the Stamparatus when making multiple cards is the ONLY way to go!  It sure makes quick work of making many of the same card.  I don't usually like to show my 'messy desk' pictures but you can see what happens to my desk area when I'm working! It gets smaller and so crowded! Ha!

  • Sweet & Simple Treat pouch with free project sheet & video

    I shared this neat treat pouch on last week’s Live video. It’s super simple and requires a 6″ X 12″ sheet of designer paper.

    Save

    I made one before and one during the video. The left pouch above features the Made with Love designer paper. The right one uses the Lovely & Beautiful specialty designer series paper.

    Save

    What I like about this is there’s no special measuring; just score on the lines on the template in the project sheet seen below. The belly band makes closure easy and you can decorate the front in any way you’d like. It’s 1 1/4″ X 10 1/2″. Watch the video to see how I form it around the pouch. There’s no need to score it; just bend at the folds leaving a bit of room for sliding it off.

    Save

    I used the 1 3/4″ circle punch and the To the Point punch. The greetings are from the Words of Beauty bundle seen here. The little heart punch is retired.
