Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live


Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.  


We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards. 

Here are the supplies and measurements so you're ready to stamp with me:

Measurements:

  • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
  • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
  • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

  • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
  • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
  • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
  • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here) 
  • Champagne rhinestones 
  • Petal Pink ribbon
  • Sponge dauber for Petal Pink ink 
  • Mini glue dots
  • Dimensionals

  • 2 ways to add color to a solid image with video & free project sheet


    Today's project is one we made at my March card clubs; it features the beautiful Quiet Reflection stamp set. 

    This set is returning in the 2024 Annual Catalog and I'm super glad!  It's wonderful for both sympathy or thinking of you cards. And the best part is it's super easy to create with.  See the Quiet Reflection set here. 

    My colors include Shaded Spruce & Starry Sky (retiring In Color). I used a few dies also – Thoughtful Expressions (retired and sold out now) and Garden Meadows dies seen here (for the arch). 

    Do you know how I achieved the two-toned image of green trees with blue water?  It's so simple!  

    How it's done: I placed my stamp set with the rubber face up. I inked up one half with Starry Sky ink (tapping the rubber with the ink pad) and then the other half with Shaded Spruce.  The nice thing about doing this technique with this particular stamp image is that when you place your greeting strip across the image it covers up any white space left un-inked.  

    I added a few of the Gold Adhesive-backed Dragonflies & Birds seen here.  I love these so much!  They're super thin and don't add any bulk to your projects. 

    In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.

  • Gorgeous ways to add color to the Quiet Reflection stamp; with video & free project sheet


    Today I'm sharing one of the projects I featured on last week's Live video.  I chose to showcase the Quiet Reflection stamp set and ways you can add color to the solid image. 

    You can see this stamp set online here.  It's not retiring; it will return in the new Annual Catalog.  It's a beautiful sympathy set. 

    I chose to use Starry Sky with Shaded Spruce. The dies are the Thoughtful Expressions dies and sadly they are already out of stock; they were on the retiring list and they've sold out.  

    Notice the two toned image here.  This one is simply a matter of inking in Blue and stamping. Then ink a sponge dauber in green ink and dab over the stamped image.  So easy! 

    I do have a free project sheet with the directions, measurements & supplies list.  See it here.  Download Quiet Reflection 2-toned

    In the video posted here on YouTube you can see how I made this card and another with an entirely different way to achieve a 2-toned image.  I'll share the card on the right below tomorrow.
