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:  

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.

• Gathering Moments swap; I love creating my own paper!

  September 4, 2025

  ---

  Here’s a pretty card I made for one of the online swaps I joined last month:

  Save

  I used the new Gathering Moments stamp set with the new Traditional Labels dies.

  The card stock colors are Lost Lagoon, Timid Tiger and Very Vanilla.  Inks are Timid Tiger, Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Pecan Pie.

  After stamping I used a Blending Brush to add Lost Lagoon ink around the edges and on the greeting die-cut too.

  I love creating cards for swaps!  I find it very relaxing to make multiples of my creations.

  Save

  You can see this stamp set here.  It has a set of dies as well.  See the Traditional Labels dies here.

  I’ll be sharing many more cards with this pretty new bundle next week.
