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.

  I hope your weekend is going well!  Sunday's are pretty relaxing around here.  I work on blog posts for the week and also try to do some catch up work inside and out. 

   

  There are several things you need to know about June and the new Annual catalog so I thought I'd share.

  • The new Annual Stampin' Up catalog PDF can be found here. The Beginner Brochure can be found here. 

  • All orders over $250 will receive an extra $25 in Stampin' Rewards! If you don't plan on spending that much, consider combining your order with a friend or two and splitting the Stampin' Rewards! You can also host an online catalog party! This Stampin' Rewards deal is good through June 30, 2020.

  • 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.

• Easy 8 Card Wonder template with Forever Fern in a kit to go!

  June 5, 2020

  ---

  I'm super excited about my newest One Sheet Wonder; I'm calling it the Easy 8 Card Wonder.  I've been doing a bunch of quick card layouts on my Monday night FB live's and have loved the comments on how simple and easy the cards have been.  People are actually making cards and building their stash AND sending them out too!  I LOVE hearing this!  

  So I wanted to create a simple card plan using our beautiful stamped images as the main focus of the cards.  

  Save

  The 8 Card Wonder features a template you print on neutral card stock and stamp on the other side.  Then just cut on the printed lines and assemble your cards like shown.  Here's the stamped 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock before I turned it over and cut on the printed lines. 

  The Forever Fern distinktive images in this stamp set are absolutely stunning!

  You can see part of the template under the cards here:

  For these cards I used Bermuda Bay, Gorgeous Grape, Old Olive and Pretty Peacock ink and card stock.

• Forever Fern card with video; quick & gorgeous!

  June 4, 2020

  Forever Fern is my absolute favorite stamp set in the new annual catalog so far.  The images are beautifully detailed and Distinktive!  That means that with one inking you get multiple hues of color on your stamped image.  Look at the detail and natural shading! See it here.

  Save

  I chose to use Pretty Peacock, Gorgeous Grape and Old Olive here.  That pretty die-cut is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here.  

  If you want this stamp set you might wait to order it along with my newest 8 card wonder; it's included in the kit to go!  Click here to order.  Quantities are limited! More Details will be posted tomorrow!

  I hope you watch my quick video below to learn the tips to make a card like this.
