Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels

March 11, 2020

This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month. It's also free to anyone who places an online order. *Details below

Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder.

The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.

You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background. I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock. Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool. Such a fabulous look!

The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last. It's already on the low inventory list!

Other details:

Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies.
The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)

She sent this gorgeous card too, congratulating me on my Million Dollar in Sales achievement.

Isn't it beautiful? She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set and dies bundle and the In Good Taste DSP. If you want to know how to make this Double-point fun fold card here's a link to a video I made.

I am so grateful for the fabulous friends I've made; both online and in person. I would say I have the best job ever; but it doesn't feel like a job! I'm loving it. And like my stamp set says, Life is Beautiful!

Life is Beautiful Apple Tree; get the secret to easy apples!

September 9, 2020
Here's one more card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set. We made this one at my August Card Clubs.

Save

The colors are the new In Color Just Jade with Early Espresso & Real Red. See the tiny 'apples' on the tree? Well I wanted just a few apples from the large bokeh dots image. I have a surprising way of stamping just a few of the stamp image. I dare you to try it! Watch the video below to see what I did!

That pretty stitched shape is from the Celebration Label dies seen here. There are 5 sizes of this shape in the set!

Save

I'm so happy with all of the projects people are making with this stamp set! It's been fun to see how much everyone seems to like it!

Measurements:
- Just Jade card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  Very Vanilla 4 3/8" X 3 1/8" die-cut
  Early Espresso 2" X 4 1/4"
  Real Red 1" X 5 1/2"

Cool technique with the Wink of Stella pen!

September 8, 2020
There are times I like to color and others that I don't. I came up with this cool technique using the Wink of Stella pen and White Craft ink to highlight my main image.

Save

I pressed a clear block directly onto my White Craft ink pad and used that to pick up the ink with my Wink of Stella pen. You sure don't have to use a clear block but I didn't want to get Wink of Stella in my ink pad. You could use a paper plate or any other non porous surface.

I used Purple Posy, Pool Party and Seaside Spray on the cards below.

Save

Technique tips:
- Light colored card stock works best here; the White ink can obscure the stamped image on dark card stock.
- Squeeze out a bit of the Wink of Stella liquid to make a small puddle to mix with the White ink for easier painting.
- Paint the image once and go back and highlight parts of it if you want more 'lightness'.
- Black Memento ink works fine to stamp your image
- This should work nicely on a heat embossed image!
- You can use the White Craft ink refill instead of an ink pad but a little drop goes a long way!
Save

I also used Versamark to create a background effect on the card base, stamping the main image multiple times. I love how soft a Versamark background is and I don't use it near enough. This repetitive stamping could be very busy if done in black or a darker color.

Here's the video with 3 different coloring techniques!
