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!

  • Stunning Amber Autumn card with free project sheet

    This is the card we made at my October card clubs:

    Save

    Isn’t it beautiful? I got the idea from Akemi Geary from Everyday Stamping. I didn’t change much because I loved it that much.
    It features the Amber Autumn bundle seen here. That beautiful, detailed background die creates the gorgeous backdrop for the pretty colored images and you can also get multiple leaf die-cuts from it by clipping them apart.

    Save

    We colored them with Blends markers and added a few die-cut leaves from the Earthen toned Metallic paper seen here. A thin strip of Autumn Toile DSP, the Irregular ribbon & gems finished it off beautifully.

    Save

    I kept the inside quite simple by stamping a greeting from the Gathering Moments stamp set and adding the acorn & leaves image without coloring it.

    I created a free project sheet for you with photo, measurements and products used. Click here to download or print it.

  • An Pillar fun fold card with Amber Autumn; with video & project tutorial

    I love this fun fold card! So easy yet unique as well.

    Save

    I used the Amber Autumn stamp & dies bundle seen here. I was initially on the fence about this set; did I need another fall themed bundle? But wow; am I glad I bought it!
    See how I finished the back side?

    Save

    I used the large detailed die to add pretty borders to the sides. So pretty! It’s quite easy to snip a few of the connection points on the leaves. Here’s a photo of this pretty bundle:

    I created a different version on my video.

    Save

    Which one do you prefer? Notice that the pillar is on different sides of each card; do you have a preference?
    Both feature the Gathering Together specialty designer paper. I also used a bit of the Earthen Toned Metallic paper for the die-cut leaves.

    Save

    The card stock colors include Early Espresso, Vanilla and Timid Tiger.
    In the video I shared how to get some highlights on your colored image using the Color Lifter Blends marker.

    Here’s how the back looks on the Timid Tiger card:

    Be sure to watch the video tutorial for this fun fold card and my other project featuring the Amber Autumn bundle. It’s a gorgeous set of products!
