Petal Park with Kind & Sincere and a masked background technique with video tutorial

This is the other card I shared on my Stamp with Me Live on Monday evening.  You can see it here on my YouTube Channel now.  

I used post-it notes and a Blending Brush to achieve this soft line of color and then stamped my flowers and dotted image around it.  I love the effect!

I used a pretty color combination of Coastal Cabana with Night of Navy.  What do you think of these together?  

Save

I've created quite a few cards by combining these two stamp sets together.  I'm not sure why; they seem to pair up so easily. 

Save

I did stamp a set of flowers on a separate piece of White card stock and punched them out so I could curl the petals and pop them up. I like to add more dimension to my cards this way.  

I also did the same with my smaller greeting, stamping it on a scrap of Coastal Cabana to add below the 'Thanks'.

  I shared a walk through video of our new 2024-25 Annual Catalog on last week's Live video. If you missed it here's the link to watch it.  

  This new catalog is quite different than we're used to.  I cover the reason's why they changed it and share lots of tips on how to navigate it.  You'll also learn ways to find the items you're looking for.  

  I've had requests to share how I added tabs to my catalog.  I prefer to use the removable tabs you can get in an office or big box store. 

  Here's a peek at mine:

  I added my tabs on the following pages. It might be odd but I add them to the page before so when I grab the tab it reveals that category page. 

  • Page 17 – Mix & Match
  • Page 21 – Sketches
  • Page 33 – Suites
  • Page 57 – Bundles
  • Page 73 – Encore
  • Page 111 – Ribbon
  • Page 113 – Ribbon
  • Page 115 – Adhesive
  • Page 127 – Emboss Folders
  • Page 113 – Colors
  • Page 139 – Index  

  Below is the video of the walk through of the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  If you do not have one nor your own Stampin' Up! Demonstrator let me know.  They are free to my customers or $5 for me to mail you one.

• Thoughtful Wishes bundle with a neat masking effect

  What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

  Save

  The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

  Products used:

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
  • Country Woods designer paper
  • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
  • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
  • Unbounded Love stamp set

  I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

• Unbounded Beauty card; an easy layout you’ll love to copy!

  May 16, 2024

  ---

  I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online. 

  Save

  My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

  The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

  Measurements: 

  • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

  If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.
