New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video

Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here.  I think it's super neat!

I explain how it's done in the video here.  Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it.  Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.  

After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center.  Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.

The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.  

Below is the video with this project & lots more!

  • Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

    Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap.  She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog.  There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.  

    August Marilyn Gather Together Save

    Can you spy the two special techniques here?  Keep reading and I'll share them below.

    Measurements:

    • Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
    • Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
    • Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

    Products Used:

    Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!  

    1. Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves?  The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water.  The water changes the color on the leaves!  I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect.  Super cool!!
    2. Next is the greeting shape.  It's made with the Label me Lovely punch.  You can get multiple shapes from this punch.  Here's how:
    • Punch one piece out.  
    • Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece. 
    • Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!

    Here are three shapes I made with this punch.  Super neat and so versatile!  See the punch here.

  • So Much Happy card with video

    We made this eye-catching, birthday card at my July card clubs last month.  It features the fun So Much Happy bundle.

    I also used the Brights & In Color designer paper for the balloons and the Rainbow Glimmer paper for the pennant die-cut & bitty stars.  They had a choice of Magenta Madness, Granny Apple Green or Coastal Cabana for their card.  That cute White greeting die is from the Hippo & Friends dies. 

    The dies in this bundle especially caught my eye; I think they're super versatile! I just love the window the 'Happy' die creates!  Click here to see it.

  • Beautiful Autumn cards; swaps by the Flowerbugs!

    Today I'm sharing two more swaps from my Flowerbug's Fall card swap.  My Team members are so talented and I absolutely love seeing their creativity!  

    Both of these are made with the Beautiful Autumn bundle in the 2020 Holiday Catalog by Stampin' Up!.  

    First is the card Tracey made.  She added sooo many details and layers to her card; it's incredible!

    Details:

    • Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Blackberry Bliss card stock
    • The pretty borders are from the Ornate Border dies seen here
    • The texture is done with the Tasteful Textures 3D embossing folder
    • The punched leaves are from the Autumn Punch pack cut from the Regals DSP pack and some dies are from the Forever Flourishing dies

    August Tracey Beautiful Autumn Save

    Mary's card is almost the opposite of Tracey's; clean and simple where the Gilded Autumn Specialty designer paper is the star of the Mint Macaron card.  Her greeting is also from the Beautiful Autumn set as well as the stamped & punched leaves.  She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for the DSP and the greeting.

    The Gilded Autumn paper has Copper and Gold foil on some designs. Some designs can be cut out using the Autumn Punch pack punches.
