Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!

January 2, 2023

Happy New Year!!!

~~~

Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live. It's at 7:30 pm here on FB. It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.

Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page. I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.

Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:

Save

I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to. I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes. You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes. I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.

The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th.

The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set. It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it. It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th.

Save

My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia.

Save

I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.

Join me on Facebook here tonight at 7:30 pm CT or watch it later on my YouTube Channel here.

How to use the Sophisticated Sled bundle with free project sheet

December 23, 2024

We made this pretty card at my December card clubs. It features the Sophisticated Sled bundle from our Online Exclusives line.

Save

I chose White with Boho Blue as my color combination. The sled is die-cut from the Country Woods DSP. I also used the Painted Trees embossing folder seen here. I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the trees.

I used stamps from the bundle for the greetings & snowflakes.

Save

Before I played with the dies I thought they would be difficult to assemble. But they're a breeze! I hope you watch the video below for my tips. The skates are genius! The laces slip into a slit in the skate die-cut for easy assembly.

See this gorgeous bundle here.

The Color Coach is back!

December 20, 2024

If you struggle with coordinating colors the Color Coach can help. It provides multiple ways to find the perfect combinations.

Save

The Color Coach is Stampin' Up!'s version of the color wheel and is based on color theory—the combination of art and science that determines what colors look good together.

One side of the Color Coach has all current Stampin’ Up! colors (except Neutrals) laid out with a spinning wheel in the center. This center wheel gives you monochromatic, complementary, analogous, and triadic information about our colors. The back explains each of these concepts, plus our range of neutral colors.

It's $12.50 and can be seen here.

For example who would think Pretty Peacock and Pumpkin Pie would go together so well? They're on the edge of complimentary colors but work wonderfully!

Save

Below is a sample of an Analogous color combination. SU created designer papers with shades of similar colors using our Full of Life DSP in the Annual Catalog.

Save

Have a great weekend!

Adorable Card swaps featuring the Otterly Amazing suite

December 19, 2024

Today I'm sharing swaps that feature the adorable Otterly Amazing suite from our recent release of Online Exclusives.

First is a card made by Kelly Acheson.

Save

The placement of her DSP is unique and leaves room for the cute swimming fish at the bottom. She used the coordinating stamp & dies for her otter, coloring it with Blends markers. Her colors include Crumb Cake and Early Espresso.

Next is a fun fold card by Tracy Jacobs.

Save

She made a cut on her card base and adhered the right side down which allowed the left side to open. Her colors include Gray Granite with White.

Measurements – card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". At the bottom right cut to the score line at the 1" mark. the DSP and inside White layer are 3" X 5 1/4". The punch is the Modern Oval punch from the Annual Catalog.

Save

Lastly we have a sweet card made by Julie Davison.

Save

Her colors include Old Olive, Early Espresso, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral. She cut the otter from the Otterly Amazing DSP seen here. Her circle punches and angled DSP add a bit of playfulness that matches up with the jumping otter.

See this suite here online.
