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.

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.

Blossoms in Bloom; cut for 2 cards at once!

June 9, 2020

The Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here was a big hit at my New Catalog open house event last week. Everyone was amazed at the many options you have with the dies and stamps.

Look at these pretty cards! They're made from one set of dies cut in half to create two cards at once.

Save

On these cards I die-cut one full set of flowers with both the thin and the thicker die in White. Then I sponged each of them with the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.

Save

When you purchase this bundle you're getting a discount of 10% off. It's always nice to get a break on the price. It's also one of the 34 Bundles you can choose free when you purchase the Stampin' Up! starter kit here.

Besides the pretty distinktive flowers look at all of the greetings you get in the stamp set! And the flower dies are nice and large and fill up a standard card fully. Or use just half like I did!

Save

I added some sequins in the flower centers and added a heat embossed greeting from this stamp set to both cards.

The white layer is 3 3/4" X 5", the black is 4" X 5 1/4" on the standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Coastal Cabana card base.

Save

I hope you enjoy the idea of getting two cards from one set of die-cuts. I have more cards to share with you featuring this bundle; it's quite amazing!

Jar of Flowers shaker card

June 8, 2020

I'm sure many of you have seen cards made with this pretty Jar of Flowers bundle seen here. It's one of our reversible stamps; you get the outline and the solid jar on one stamp! It's only $36.75 for the bundle. I know it's going to be a go to set for many of us. I have lots of ideas with this set and I love that it comes with Mason Jar Shaker Domes!

Save

I just had to try making a jar filled with water & beads! When I bring flowers into the house from the garden that's usually how I display them.

Save

Mine is filled with clear hand sanitizer (I had it right beside me) and our new Flowers for Every Season gems. And with my method the sanitizer does not leak out onto the card stock!

I stamped the flowers in Soft Suede and colored them in with Blends markers – Daffodil combo, Light Flirty Flamingo and Dark Mint Macaron. I added the ribbon in two different ways. On the left I secured it behind the dome. On the right I adhered the cut ends on the dome. You can see how I did both on the video below.

Save

I hope you take time to watch it; you'll get tips on making a liquid filled shaker card and on coloring with the Blends too.

- If your order is close to $100, I highly encourage you to consider the Starter Kit. During June, you get a free BUNDLE of your choice in your kit! See the 2020-2021 Bundles here. The Starter Kit is $99 and you get $125 in product of your choice, free shipping and the extra free bundle. So far four people have purchased it and joined my Flowerbug's Team; in less than a week! It's an awesome offer! Details on many of the benefits of buying the Starter Kit can be found here.
