Hello There!

 Hello, stampers!

Thanks for stopping in today to see what I have in store for you!  I've been a member of Splitcoast Stampers for a while now, but just recently (as in the first time) started participating in the color challenges.
     Every week, the host posts a color combination and everyone is invited to create a project that incorporates the chosen palette.  For my first foray into the color challenge, I started with CC844 which spotlights Stampin' Up! So Saffron, Pool Party, and Mint Macaron.  I made two cards for this challenge and I hope you enjoy them both.

The first card I made, came about as my participation in #mysterymondaystamping presented by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Sharon Armstrong.  In this project, I let the challenge colors in the retired DSP do most of the work.  I also used the challenge colors to color the bird image from the A Touch of Ink (retired) stamp set.  I used kind of a "thumping" technique to color the fill image in the set.  I started with the So Saffron ink and colored the entire image, then using ink daubers, I randomly added the Mint Macaron and Pool Party colors to complete the coloring...a little hot air (huffing) to activate the colors again I then colored the outline image.

My second submission was more of a #simplestamping project that for the inclusion of the twine, could have been a SIP (stamps, ink, and paper) card. This time I used the new Flowers of Friendship stamp set and Sweet Strawberry for the sentiment.  A very simple, yet elegant card.  I stamped the floral image, colored it with Stampin' Blends (So Saffron and Mint Macaron), added some Nuvo drops and the twine to complete the project.

Leave me a comment to let me know which you like more.  I know which one I like.

By
Hi there, Stamping Friends!  It's time for another Stamping with Friends Blog Hop.  As you know, Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators who enjoy paper crafting, creating cards, and other projects to share with each other and with you. If you've arrived from Karen's blog, welcome!  This time, the theme is to create a card or project based on a favorite technique.  There are sooooo many techniques that I love but with this project, I'm going to focus mainly on two.  Can you guess what one of them is? Yup, you guessed it...masking!  There're so many things you can do with this technique from: simple masking to creating seamless backgrounds and adding depth...hmmm, I think I've decided to do a blog series focusing on the different things you can do with masking. For this post, I chose to start with a simple spotlight masking technique. Let me show you how I created this card. Now I incorporated several other techniques (dry ...

Stampin' with Friends Blog Hop Vine Design

By
Hi, so glad you decided to pop in to see what I have in store for you today.   This is my inaugural blog hop with Stamping with Friends. Stamping with Friends is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who enjoy sharing our love of paper crafting in general and for me, more specifically, card making with you. The group hosts two hops every month.   The theme for this hop showcases retiring sets, bundles, or products from the January - June 2021 mini catalog that retires at the end of this month.  I chose to feature the Vine Design Bundle. I was drawn to this bundle for many reasons; first, the die cuts are elegant and can stand alone to create a beautiful, simple yet elegant card, second, the sentiments also make it a very versatile set that covers multiple occasions, and third, I could see the possibilities with one of my favorite masking and blending techniques. I hope you enjoy this hop and the cards I created to share with you. This first card highlights the m...
