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. 

Beautifully Happy blended Save

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.

    I used the Pampered Pets stamp set and the Playful Pets designer paper.  I colored the critters in with Blends markers and added a Playful Pets trinket with the Playful Pets trim and a glue dot. Sooo cute!

    The scalloped White layer is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Real Red greeting is 1" X 4" and punched with the Lovely Labels PIck a Punch on both ends.  Note the two different ends shown above. 

    The Happy Birthday greeting inside the left card is from the Best Year stamp set.

    Today I have a few more beautiful card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team.  

    First is Jacki's card featuring the Forever Fern bundle.  

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade.  The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible!  I love the touch of vellum she added. 

    Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set.  This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    Her colors are Misty Moonlight with Seaside Spray and a touch of Old Olive.  She colored the images in with Blends markers. The greeting is from the Forever Fern stamp set. 

    Next is Karen's card. She used the Flowers for Every Season designer paper and it is the star of the card. 

    July Jacki Forever Fern Save

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers set and that neat scalloped die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies.

  • Flowers for Every Season & more!

    Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors. 

    First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

    July Mary Flowers Save

    Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly. 

    Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also. 

    July Mary Flowers Save

    What a fun layout!  Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer?  That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder.  The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.  

    Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane.  She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.  

    July Mary Flowers Save

    The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings.  Love these delicate dies!  

    Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better?  They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully.  It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
