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!


Watch the video below for step by step tutorial on making this pretty card.  Plus I share tons of card ideas for this pretty and versatile stamp set!

  • Peaceful Nativity WOW card


    Look what happens when you combine a beautiful background with the Nativity Dies?!  

    Candace created this gorgeous card for our October Christmas cards swap with my Flowerbug's Team.  She is a master at sponging backgrounds.  I believe she used Pacific Point here.  She simply added a greeting (from For Unto Us set) embossed in Silver and the pretty scenic die-cuts in Black.

    More Team swaps tomorrow!

    Stampin' Up! is releasing brand new product today!!  Most of these Curvy Celebration items are from the upcoming spring catalog!  Demonstrators could pre-order these items early but now you can get them too.

    I also joined a few online swaps with these products; here's one of my favorites!


    I chose to use two of the colors in the Classic Christmas 6" designer paper pack; Cherry Cobbler & Sahara Sand.  I cut 3/4" long strips and adhered them to a 5 1/4" X 4" piece of White CS.  Then I used the dotted, curvy die to cut about 4" down from the top.  Then I turned the die over to cut the other end and trimmed it to fit the card. 

    The greeting is from the Quite Curvy stamp set which is available in the bundle at 10% off.   


    Get it whole bundle and I'll send you a free Winter Snow embossing folder

  • Festive Corners Triangle Christmas Tree Card


    Look at this cool swap card Paula made using the Festive Corners stamp set seen here and the Stitched Triangle dies! 

    She used Pear Pizzazz, Real Red & Mossy Meadow card stock and the classic Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper.  And she saved paper by cutting out the DSP triangles from her large designer paper layer (behind the White CS).  I love that!!

    Check out the Triangle Dies here and the Heartwarming Hugs DSP here. 

    I'll be sharing lots of my Team swaps this week; stay tuned!
