Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

August 25, 2022

I can't get enough of the Perched in a Tree bundle! We made these cards at my August Card Clubs this month:

They had the choice of adding the bird or a set of die-cut, colored leaves. We added color to both with our Blending Brushes using Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue for the bird and Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody on the leaves.

The greetings are from the Soft Seedlings stamp set stamped on a 1" X 4 1/4" Vanilla CS strip.

If you have trouble getting a smooth Ink Blending background please watch the video to catch my tips.

From the top down I used these colors: Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody & either Balmy Blue or Crumb Cake on the bottom. You might think I used a yellow color on the upper right card but it's just very light Mango Melody.

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free! See them all here.

Pretty Pumpkins with Be Dazzling specialty paper

August 24, 2021
After seeing other projects with the Pretty Pumpkin bundle I had to get it. I love the images and the font in the greetings.

Save

I stamped the large pumpkin image in Pumpkin Pie ink and colored them and the leaves with Blends markers using both Pumpkin Pie & Olive markers plus light Crumb Cake for the stem & light Cajun Craze for the darkest areas on the pumpkins.

Save

I was playing around with the Be Dazzling specialty paper and decided to try to color it. I had a spritzer filled with rubbing alcohol & either Pumpkin Pie or Cajun Craze ink refill. So I spritzed it on to a piece of the glittery paper. It worked beautifully! I did have to let it sit for a few minutes to set well. Then I rubbed it with tissue to get any excess off before I die-cut the pretty filigree pumpkin with it.

I also spritzed my White twine to color it as well.

Other products:
- Ornate Layer & Potted Succulent dies
- Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder
- Wink of Stella on the leaves

Counting Sheep with the Give it a Whirl dies interactive card

August 23, 2021
We made this adorable card at my August card clubs this month. It features the new Counting Sheep & the Sheep dies from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Plus it's a view-master card! Remember those? The Give it a Whirl dies (seen here) on page 163 of the annual catalog are incredible! I was hesitant to even try using these dies because I thought it would be so complicated to figure out. But I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and intuitive they are to use. Stampin' Up! really did these up smart!

Please watch my video below to catch my quick tips for a successful view-master card.

Save

The colors here are Pale Papaya, Balmy Blue, White, Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green. We created a background using the Blending Brushes with Balmy Blue & Granny Apple Green ink.

Save

***Heads up on the Sheep dies – Stampin' Up! has a limited supply of these and does expect to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So if you're wanting both the stamp set & dies, get the dies first!

Details:
- Sheep dies include the fence, balloons and the sheep
- Give it a Whirl dies – stitched view-master sponged layer, the scalloped circle, clouds, window & stars
- I cut the scalloped circle piece from thick White CS since it would get a lot of activity
- You will need brads & Stampin' Dimensionals for this card to work
Save

I used light Petal Pink and Gray Granite blends to color the sheep.

And below is the video; this card is so fun!
