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!

  • Prized Peony bundle; wow!

    Look at these gorgeous cards Mary and Karen made for a Flowerbug's Team swap last month.  They both used items in the new Peony suite seen here. 

    June Mary Peony Garden Save

    Mary's colors are Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam with Gray Granite.  She sponged a bit of Petal Pink onto the Peony petals.  The other products here are the new Vellum square doilies and Elegant Faceted Gems. that designer paper is from the In Good Taste package seen here.

    Karen used the Peony Garden designer paper as a background and the new Magenta Madness card stock with Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive for leaves.  That pretty scalloped edge is included in the Peony dies.  

    You might think it's difficult to put the peony flower together, but Stampin' Up! made it super easy.  It's just 4 die-cuts and they layer easily.  You match up the bottom edge of each die-cut for a perfect fit each time.  I made a video of it here on FB.
