You Are Amazing cards with Blending Brush ideas

February 15, 2021

Last week on my Tuesday Live I shared three cards featuring the You Are Amazing stamp set & the new blending brushes. I've always loved sponging and these new brushes are incredible! They are so popular they are currently on back-order; but you can still order them!

This was my favorite and also loved by many others too. I created a few 'star stencils' with the Stitched Stars dies and sponged in the windows.

I added a few Artistry Blooms sequins for extra bling.

And on this card I sponged on the True Love polka dot paper. It was Black & White but is now two-toned!

On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful.

Save

I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful.

Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here.

You might wonder just how I achieved the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the card. Watch the video here.

I cut my stamp apart!

Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile! And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp. Try it!

How to get more use of your Fragrant Forest stamp; cut it up!

December 12, 2023

I shared this pretty card in last week's Live video. I featured the Fragrant Forest background stamp set seen here in all 3 projects.

Save

Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now. But the stamp set is still available.

I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut.

The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White. The lower strip for the greeting is torn.

Are you wondering how I achieved the inside trees image without inking the entire stamp? Here's how!

Save

I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers. It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'. I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought. It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!

Save

Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block. It just makes sense! I encourage you to try it.
