Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils

March 5, 2020

Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available. It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration. Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!

This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month. I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme. It's a classic and always works!

I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper. It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here. It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.

I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up. I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look. Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it. You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here.

Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
Stitched So Sweetly dies
pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker

Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat

March 26, 2020

I made this project on this week's Facebook Live. Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here.

I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!

Save

I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate.

It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches. I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock. The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny! These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock. I hope they get more in soon.

That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog. They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon. The Poppies products have been very popular!

Save

These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172. See them here.

Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper. I've been featuring this paper a lot lately. We have it in every color; that's 50 colors! It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog. Or see it here.

Save

The greeting is from the A Wish for Everything. It has 38 stamps! It's one of my picks for your free stamp set that you can choose in your Starter Kit. Why not get a nice big valued stamp set free? Details below; or click here.

Remember that if you want to purchase some of these items to order this month. Why not get something extra free with your order! And if you have a big wish list, I suggest you purchase the starter kit and get Free shipping, a bonus free stamp set, a free paper trimmer, a free designer paper sampler and $125 in product of your choice. All for $99!

From then on you'll get 20% off all of your Stampin' Up! product. Email me at lagreff60@gmail.com to ask any questions.

Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

March 25, 2020
I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do. I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!

Even this reflection technique is simple to create. Do you know why? Because of the reversible nature of these stamps. The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card. The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

Save

This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March. And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too! You can see this bundle here.

If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways. First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together. Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

Save

Details for the card above:
1. I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath.
2. I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection.
3. Next the mountain reflection.
4. Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.
5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set.
6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate

Well Dressed; a great manly stamp set!

March 24, 2020

How are you all doing? Staying home and safe; if you can? I know some people have to work and those of us who are not really appreciate you! I feel for you! It's a scary world out there right now. Hopefully a little craft therapy will help you stay in a positive state of mind. It's a unique situation that we've never dealt with before. We're just not used to being restricted!

Here's a cute card perfect for the men in our lives. It's made with the new Well Dressed stamp set seen here in the 2nd release of Sale-a-Bration products.

Save

I believe it's Smoky Slate with Basic Gray and a pop of Crushed Curry and Pool Party. The images are all stamped on die-cut Stitched Rectangles. Behind those is a piece of Neutrals designer paper. I've been featuring this paper the last few days since I know many people haven't noticed it in our annual catalog. We have patterns in every single color we carry in 6 X 6" packs!

You can see them all here.
