Product used:

•  the ghosts, pumpkin and striped trim are from the Cute Halloween designer paper in the Holiday catalog.  See it here.

• the ombre background is actually Fresh Freesia CS, with Misty Moonlight & Night of Navy added with our Blending Brushes *watch the video below
• Cute Stars Adhesive-backed sequins are also added to the wreath

Check out the ghostly treat box in the photo above.  It's so simple to make with the Pretty Pillow box dies!

The stitched tag is also in the Pretty Pillow Box dies.  Look how it latches – the scalloped front slips in behind the tag in front.  I love that I don't need a special way to keep it closed; the tag does it for me!

Check out the other version I made with the fun skeletons on the right?  I fussy cut them from the Cute Halloween paper.

I haven't shared this for awhile so here it is; my favorite cutting template especially for inside a card.  Get 5 pieces from one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock. If you're making multiples this can save you a lot!

Below is the video.  I make another project using Sparkle of the Season before this one. Fast forward to about 22 minutes in to see this neat Halloween card.

• Simple & fun card sketch with Honeybee Home

  February 3, 2022

  ---

  Do you ever use card sketches to get inspired?  I love them!  I find most of them on Pinterest. 

  We use card sketches & color combos on my Flowerbug's Team group for challenges & inspiration.  It's so fun to see the different projects everyone comes up with. This is the sketch we're using now:

  Save

  I used it as inspiration to create this card with the Honeybee Home bundle and the Simply Marbelous designer series paper. 

  Save

  It's such an easy sketch to use.  Some are using card stock, others designer paper and one used ribbon!  

  My card is Basic Bray with Bumblebee accents.  Gray & yellow are beautiful together.  In fact one of my bathrooms has these colors! 

  The Simply Marbelous designer paper was my color inspiration.  This 6 X 6" DSP is free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order through the month of February; or while supplies last.  See it here. 

  Save

  On the video I share my tips on placing these 1/4" strips.  It's a little tricky but entirely doable!  

  Save

  The greeting and flower die are placed on a circle die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here.  

  Save

  See this Honeybee Home bundle here.  The stamp set has pretty images & greetings and the dies work great as silhouettes!

• An easy Whitewashing Technique with our Retiring In Colors

  February 2, 2022

  ---

  I had time to play with the Whitewashing technique & our beautiful Calming Camellia stamp set.

  This first card features my top favorite color among the retiring 2020-22 In Colors; Misty Moonlight.  I hope it returns someday! 

  Save

  I decided to cut the pieces down to fit and layer on one 8 1/2" X 11" piece of Basic White CS. I love saving card stock this way.  

  Save

  The In Color pieces measure 3 3/8" X 4 1/2" and the layering White is 3 1/2" X 4 5/8".

  How did I do the Whitewashing Technique?  I use our White Craft ink pad and a water painter.  I added a few drops of the White Craft ink refill to the inside of the ink pad and added water from the brush.  Swirl it around a bit and start painting.  You don't need much if you like it soft; I prefer it pretty diluted. 

  You can see a demonstration in this video; it's the second project. 

  Save

  Heads up!! These 2020-22 In Color will retire at the end of March.  If you have the ink pads, make sure you have the ink refills and grab extra card stock or Designer Paper too!  See all of this color line here. 

  ***Once the retired list comes out these tend to sell out FAST! 

  Here's my other favorite of these In Colors; Just Jade.  I love this pretty, medium toned green.  It fits so beautifully with other colors! 

  Save

  This stamp set is a 'distinktive' set which means it gives multiple hues of color with one inking.  Love these so much! 

  Did you notice that these cards are also monochromatic?  I cannot get enough of a single color with a neutral. This technique truly shows off our gorgeous colors! 

  Save

  The Calming Camellia stamp set is free during Sale-a-Bration with a $300 order.  So if you have a big wishlist you can get this free along with $36 in host rewards AND 6 additional Sale-a-Bration choices too! Click here to see it.
