Everyday Arches Shaped Thankful Garden Card

This week I'm sharing four cards that I recently did for a private class.  If you're in the Albuquerque, NM area and want to host a private class let me know I'd love to plan something for you.  Private classes are usually smaller with a handful of people and I can customize the projects to techniques and products that you want to see.  For this class it was requested that I show case how to use our hybrid embossing folders/dies and blending brushes.  This is the final card of the class with the blending brushes and the Thankful Garden Bundle. 

I love the Everyday Arches Dies and the largest die is the perfect size for a card base.  To make a full card with out loosing any of the arch, cut 2 in the same color-I used Petunia Pop.  Then on one of them score the top at 1/2", this is your inside card.  Adhere the front of the card to the 1/2" flap and your card will open and close perfectly!

I used the masks and blending brushes to color my image.  Though the petal and leaves are all different shades it's all from one ink pad (each section-Petunia Pop for the petals and Old Olive for the leaves).  As you work your way through the masks as you continue to layer color it will get darker.  No need for a stack of ink pads and blending brushes when you can simply use one!

Thankful Garden Melon Mambo Flowers

This week I'm sharing four cards that I recently did for a private class.  If you're in the Albuquerque, NM area and want to host a private class let me know I'd love to plan something for you.  Private classes are usually smaller with a handful of people and I can customize the projects to techniques and products that you want to see.  For this class it was requested that I show case how to use our hybrid embossing folders/dies and blending brushes.  I've already shared two cards with the Sunrise Sailing Bundle today and tomorrow we'll focus on the blending brushes and masks with the Thankful Garden Bundle. 

This bundle is so much fun, included in the bundle are the stamps, dies, and masks.  The masks are numbered so you know what order to do them in and there's a notch in them that you can mark on your scrap paper first so you can easily line it up every time.  I featured this bundle in a past class to go, you can no longer earn the class to go you can check out the videos for tips on how to use the masks.

Sunrise Sailing Ink Blended Sunrise

This week I'm sharing four cards that I recently did for a private class.  If you're in the Albuquerque, NM area and want to host a private class let me know I'd love to plan something for you.  Private classes are usually smaller with a handful of people and I can customize the projects to techniques and products that you want to see.  For this class it was requested that I show case how to use our hybrid embossing folders/dies and blending brushes.  Today we're using the embossing folder and dies from the Sunrise Sailing Bundle as well as the brushes.

This card is stunning!  I don't think the colors are doing it the justice it deserves but it's a stunner of card!  We used Summer Splash, Darling Ducking, Timid Tiger and Melon Mambo to do the ink blending on the arch.  So pretty!

We added a die cut boat, but let the ink blending shine.  The background has lots of texture from the embossing and a couple of clouds.

Sunrise Sailing Nautical Colors

This week I'm sharing four cards that I recently did for a private class.  If you're in the Albuquerque, NM area and want to host a private class let me know I'd love to plan something for you.  Private classes are usually smaller with a handful of people and I can customize the projects to techniques and products that you want to see.  For this class it was requested that I show case how to use our hybrid embossing folders/dies and blending brushes.  You'll see more with the blending brushes later in the week.  This card show cased the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Bundle.  The hybrid bundles have dies that are specifically designed to cut INSIDE the embossing folder so your image is cut and embossed at the same time.  It's a remarkable thing!  I love our hybrid folders.  They're magical and they save time without having to run it through twice.

I used the same embossing folder, without the dies to add texture to the background.  Overall it's a simple card but loaded with texture.

Gallery Blooms Bundle Class To Go Day 3-VIDEO

Welcome to another Class To Go!  This class will feature the stunning Gallery Blooms Bundle.  You can earn this Class To Go FREE August 16-31, 2025 with a $50 minimum order in my Online Store.  Check below for all the details on earning this Class To Go.

Today I'm sharing an amazing water color technique.  Water coloring is not in my wheelhouse.  I don't do it a lot because it's not something I'm super comfortable with but this technique I've always had success with.  You need a piece of Water Color Paper, regular cardstock won't work you need something that can handle the amount of water we're putting on it.  You'll also need a block and some water based inks-our classic inks work great.  I'm using Basic Beige, Petal Pink and Calypso Coral.  Get your paper wet with a spritzer (not soaking wet but damp), then add the ink to the acrylic block.  Start with your lightest color moving to the darker color.  Give your block a quick spritz or two with water then flip it quickly to your damp water color paper.  The colors will mix and wash together.  Pick up the block and set your paper aside to dry completely.  If you're in a hurry you can speed up the drying process with a heat tool but I love the organic lines you get if you let it dry by itself.  My flower is colored with Stampin' Blends, but if you're feeling daring you can water color this too.

Peaceful Garden Sneak Peek

I've got a sneak peek to share with you today.  This is the Peaceful Garden Suite.  This will launch in September with the Mini Catalog/Online Exclusives Launch.  The suite is gorgeous! The stamp set is full of incredible greetings, while the dies offer labels, greenery and doves.  Also in the suite is the coordinating Peaceful Greenery Embossing Folder, which coordinates perfectly with the dies.  The Peaceful Greenery DSP is stunning and the Misty Moonlight/Silver Edged Ribbon is the perfect accent.  The only thing not used on this card from the suite are the Hues Of Blue Flowers.  

stampin up, peace on earth

The embossed greeting on this card is so pretty.  I kept the colors pretty neutral so that the bright white dove would really stand out.  The ribbon adds just enough sparkle and shine to make the card pop.  Inside the card, because it's on such a dark card base I added  a layer of white that I ink blended and added another dove to.  So pretty!
