Stunning Prairie Grass sunset scene with a masked moon & video tutorial

July 29, 2025

I'm thrilled to share this amazing card with you today. We made it at my July card clubs.

I created a beautiful sunset with stamps, ink and a 'moon mask'. I used Blending Brushes with Secret Sea, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger inks.

It features the beautiful Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Since I'm from North Dakota where we have tons of 'prairie' this set was a must have! *Unfortunately it is now out of stock but you can add your email to be informed when it's available. It should be back around August 11th.

After stamping the grassy image we added a post-it note mask made from a circle punch. Then we blended the inks on little by little. It's important to use less ink and more time to get this pretty soft effect.

See the flap on the left side of the card above? That flap holds down the front of the card. So simple but a fun technique. Notice the light sponging on the greeting inside?

I created a free project sheet for this card. You can print or download it by clicking on the following link: Download Prarie Grass July 2025

And here's the video below where I share how to create this gorgeous card and two other cards featuring this amazing Prairie Grass stamp set.

If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go. Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:
1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
3. To get the best deal.
4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
7. Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.
I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up! Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'

We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online. Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early. It's a fantastic thing to be a part of!

Details on being a Demonstrator:
- Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active. Stop ordering when you want.
- There's no pressure to sell or hold events.
- Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
- And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
- Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum!
- SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it. For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100. This means you're receiving an even better deal!
- Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!! And that counts towards your minimum!

Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!

May 14, 2021

I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black. You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.

Which one do you prefer?

Save

The reviews were mixed. Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more. But others liked the White for a softer look.

The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut. See these dies here and the bundle here.

Save

The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here. The oval is from the Double Oval punch.

Below is the video where I demo'd this card. Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!

Can you tell which is stamped and which is Designer paper?

May 13, 2021

I made these on FB live this week using the Expressions in Ink suite. Can you tell which background is stamped and which is Designer Paper?

Save

My top favorite suite in the new Annual catalog is the Expressions in Ink. See it here or on page 96-97. It's filled with stamps & paper that mimic alcohol ink backgrounds. Toss in the beautiful gold accents and it's stunning!

Save

Here's a close up of the card. Can you tell if I stamped it or if it's designer paper?

Save

Yes; I did stamp it! These images are so neat! I can see lots of uses for both the greetings and the faux alcohol ink stamps. See how in the video below. Mmm; I think I'll try a one sheet wonder with these…..!

And look at the leaves die-cuts! I cut them from In Color Shimmer Vellum & Gold Foil paper. The tag is from the Tailor Made Tags dies.

Here's the FB Live replay video. Sorry the text isn't flipped so you can read it. FB changed their settings and the tool icon is gone.
