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.

• Gorgeous color combo in this Impressions Abloom card

  Look at this pretty card made almost entirely of die-cuts! 

  Save

  I absolutely love these soft colors together!  Pretty in Pink with the new Cloud Cover & White. 

  Measurements:  

  • Card base is 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • Pink textured layer is 4 1/4" X 2"
  • DSP strip 4 1/4" X 1/2" 
  • White arch is 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", pink greeting arch is 2 1/4" X 1"

  This pretty card is made with the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

  Save

  Other products used are the Arches dies, the Mini Corrugated embossing folder and a thin strip of Florals in Bloom DSP too.

  Technique: I sponged the die-cut flowers with coordinating ink to add depth.  Two quick ways to add easy detail and depth to your projects is to use Stampin' Dimensionals and sponging.  It's amazing what sponging can add to your projects! 

  You can see many of the dies in this bundle in the photo below.

• A fun layout with the Impressions Abloom bundle; with free project sheet!

  I shared this striking card on last week's video.  It has a color combination I love! 

  Save

  The colors include Summer Splash, Strawberry Slush, White & Darling Duckling.  It features the Impressions Abloom bundle seen here.  

  I love the split view of the stamped panel. I did this by stamping first and cutting it into thirds afterwards.  It's simply 3 1/2" X 4 1/2", cut into 1 1/2" panels.

  The Impressions Abloom bundle has it all; floral and greeting images with fabulous, coordinating dies.  I'll be sharing a another card made with it this week.

  This stamp set is both a 2-step set and a distinktive style which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  I've been loving this bundle! Between the flowers, greetings and dies it's a sure winner!  

  Below is the video tutorial for this card and another; both using this wonderful bundle.  I hope you watch it; don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
