Healing Hugs - Masking

Last month, my demo friends and I did another swap like we do each month with a theme.  The theme was "Case a Card in the Catalog" and we could change the colors if we wished.  This is my swap and I cased it from page 105.  I didn't add sequins because I don't have them yet.  The technique I used was "masking" with the roses.  Here are the instructions on how to make my card:


1.     The base of the card is Highland Heather cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.  Randomly stamp the stitching stamp around the edges with Gorgeous Grape ink on the front of the card base.

2.    The Whisper White layer is 3-1/2” x 3”.  Ink up the rose with Gorgeous Grape ink and stamp it in the center.

3.    Then stamp it again on a Post-it note and trim it out with the Paper Snips and place the mask over the rose by lining it up exactly on the Whisper White cardstock.

4.    Now, ink up the rose with Gorgeous Grape and then stamp off on the grid paper to make the roses on either side to be lighter than the middle one.

5.    Now, before remove the mask, ink up the leaves with Coastal Cabana ink and stamp two on either side of the middle rose.

6.    Remove the mask and place it over the lower rose, and stamp more leaves.

7.    Use the cross-stitch Framelit and Big Shot to create the stitching at the top of the Whisper White cardstock.  Then attach a little off center to the right with Snail Adhesive

8.    Use the Triple Banner Punch to create a banner.  Ink up the “Sending You Healing Vibes” with Coastal Cabana ink.

9.    Attach the Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon across the front of the card at the bottom using Glue Dots or Tear and Tape.

10.  Use a Pearlized Doily and cut off a little bit of it and attach to the back of the banner.  Attach above the ribbon.

11.   Use the White Baker’s Twine to tie a bow and attach it to the card with a Glue Dot.

Enjoy Life - Miss You

This is another card I stamped using the Enjoy Life stamp set again.  It is cased from Linda Van Wely-Zwille because I just loved the colors she used.  I think the new Blueberry Bushel is a new favorite of mine.  It is a new In-Color that will be around for a couple years at least.  I also Bermuda Bay.  I used the Sponge Brayers to get this effect and sprinkled water on it and blotted it dry with a paper towel.  Once dry, I added the grass with Memento Black and also the bike silhouette stamp using the Stamparatus.  Here are my instructions:


Stamp Set:  Healing Hugs
Cardstock:  Blueberry Bushel, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink:  Bermuda Bay, Blueberry Bushel, Memento Black and/or Night of Navy
Other:  Stamparatus, Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits (circle) Multipurpose Glue, Dimensionals, Sponge Brayers, water, paper towel

1.     The base of the card is Blueberry Bushel cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is Bermuda Bay cut at 4” x 5-1/4”.
3.    The third layer is Basic Black cut at 3-15/16” x 4-15/16”.
4.    The fourth layer is Whisper White cut at 3-3/4” x 4-13/16”.
5.    Starting with the lighter color – Bermuda Bay – ink up the Sponge Brayer and brayer it across the Whisper White cardstock horizontally.
6.    The take the darker color – Blueberry Bushel – ink up the Sponge Brayer and brayer it across the opposite side of the card and blend the colors together until satisfied.
7.    Optional:  Get your hand slightly wet with water and sprinkle onto the cardstock and immediately dry with a paper towel.
8.    Ink up the grass with Memento Black ink or Night of Navy ink to stamp the grass along the bottom of the Bermuda Bay side.
9.    Use the Stamparatus and Memento Black ink to stamp the bicycle person.
10.  Ink up the sentiment with Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock.  Use the Big Shot and Stitched Shapes Framelit circle to die cut it out.  Add Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the front of the card.
