Roll of the Die #2

 


Hey, Stampers! This month's Roll of the Die is all about the masculine figures in our lives... fathers, brothers, uncles, nephews, etc...and with Father's Day around the corner, it seemed most appropriate to feature them.  Our participating demonstrators this month are: Kathy Ervin, Michelle Hollins, and yes, me.

When we rolled the dies to determine what should be included in today's cards, we got: clean and simple, paper piecing, layers, and embellishment(s)...and this is in addition to the masculine theme.  Well, if you are familiar with clean and simple, you'll know that this was a little bit of a task.  Well, I did my best to produce these cards and I hope you'll like them.  Leave me a comment to let me know how I did. 

Measurements:

Basic white: A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2"); (2) 3 3/4" x 5", (2) 4" x 5 1/4"
DSP: scrap World of Good 

Using the Layering Diorahma dies (I used the 4th die), I used the Stampin' Cut n Emboss machine and created a mask.  I saved the solid piece for another project. I layered the mask on the
coordinating 3 3/4" panel and added color using the ink blending technique starting with Melon Mambo, then the Cajun Craze, followed by the Cinnamon Cider. Once I'd done that, I added the bird images to the top right of the panel, the sailboat image to the bottom right (Early Espresso) and then the shadow in second generation stamping using the same Early Espresso.  Stamp the sails on the DSP then fussy cut or punch the image out. 

Take a look at another card I made using the same technique. This one featured the Campology and Watercolor Shapes sets.  Come on, give this technique a try...you'll love it!



The Signature Sunday Stampers demonstrators got together and take a look at the cards we made based on the roll of the die. While you're there, don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Stampin' with Friends Technique Blog Hop - Masking

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

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...
