Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!

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:

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.

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

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.

• Best of the Clearance Rack!

  December 7, 2023

  ---

  I thought I'd highlight a few of my favorite finds on the clearance rack. 

  I ordered this kit for my future daughter-in-law. She loves to stamp & create but doesn't have a lot of products yet.  Our kits are perfect for her.  It's item #158375   See it here. 

  Save

  This kit is just $8.80 (it was $22) and includes:
  * Love, Santa Photopolymer Stamp Set
  * Acrylic stamp block
  * Night of Navy Classic Stampin’ Spot
  * Precut pieces (No prep work! Get right to crafting)
  * Makes 12 tags: 3 each of 4 designs
  **Adhesive-backed sequins
  * Adhesive to complete projects
  * Printed designer box for storage or crafting on the go: 9-7/8" x 6-1/2" x 2-3/4" 

  There are so many more kits available in our kit collection. If you're looking for great gifts for crafters most are all inclusive and really do make a fabulous gift! I'm surprised some of them are still in stock!  See them all here.

  Texture Chic Memories & More cards are the perfect start to easy but beautiful cards or memory keeping. 

  They were $10 and are now $4. The item # is 159201 and can be seen here. 

  Save

  It includes 50 cards in two sizes and 4 sticker sheets.  They pair perfectly with the Texture Chic Memories & more cards & envelopes!

  There are 20 printed cards and envelopes that coordinate with the M & More cards above. These are big cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4". They were $12 and are now $4.80.  Item #159202 

  Save

  I love these for quick cards; they're perfect for a beginner stamper or quick cards. I often change them up by trimming the cards or using them in unexpected ways. See them here. 

  There are many more great items left on the Clearance Rack; be sure to check them out right away.

• Sparkling Snowflakes Easy 5 Card Wonder with free templates & video

  December 6, 2023

  ---

  I'm excited to share today's project. You may know this but I LOVE stamping one sheet wonders! I have created many of them and the layers & templates to make them super easy to use. *see them here

  On last week's Live video I shared these pretty snowflake cards; made with my Easy 5 card wonder templates. 

  Save

  I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set seen here. Snowflakes can be wintery or holiday; they're quite versatile.  I added greetings using the Tailor Made Tags & Stylish Shapes dies with a bit of Elegant trim cording. 

  Save

  My colors include Coastal Cabana, Pretty Peacock, Pool Party & Fresh Freesia. 

  I started out with a full 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of Basic White card stock. I stamped the snowflakes down the center so some would be on each of the card front pieces.  Each piece measures 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". 

  Save

  You can see the stamped pieces below.  There is very little waste.  I love being able to create my own patterns with different color combos.  It's so fun and reminds me why I love stamping! 

  Save

  After you've stamped and cut your 5 layers, you can choose to stamp your greetings in the open area or add greetings using a punch or die-cut.

  Now choose a coordinating piece of card stock to create the colored layers for the card fronts. Below is the template with measurements. Again it starts with an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of colored card stock. Each piece measures 3 5/8" X 4 7/8".
