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.

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.

More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!

October 16, 2025
Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

Save

She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

Save

Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

Save

Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

Save

She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

Modern Christmas card idea

October 15, 2025
Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

Save

Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

Save

I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

Save

I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene

October 14, 2025
Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

Save

My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.

It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

Save

This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

Save

I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

Save

I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to access it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and another easy card layout using this suite.
