Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Get Well & Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Stamping Techniques, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

Happy Wednesday. Today I am sharing with you an older technique, but one that I think you will enjoy. Most of the videos I have watched from days gone, refer to this technique as the “Torn Window” technique. So hey, who am I to re-invent the wheel! It might look complicated, but it is quite easy, so I hope you will give it a try.

A closer look:

Double the Fun-Fun Fact Friday!

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Fun Fact Friday, Happy Birthday /

Did you know that Greetings of the Season and Everyday Greetings are sister bundles. These two online exclusive stamp sets go hand in hand and today I am sharing some double fun with these two bundles. I created a Happy Anniversary and a Happy Birthday card using some Summer Splash cardstock and designer series paper. And no you are not seeing double but I did create basically the same card for both greetings!

The flowers are actually the greenery in Golden Greenery, so I love how that stamp can double as a floral image. It also looks great as a Mossy Meadow and Old Olive green accent. Golden Greenery is also in the online exclusive section. Click here or the images below for more online exclusive stamp sets and designer series paper pack.

The ‘Happy” is from the Greetings of the Season set and the Birthday and Anniversary is from Everyday Greetings. I love how they coordinate with the same font or you can mix it up and use different fonts on one greeting. Again I used Summer Splash but I am sure that any color would look great. I stamped off for the floral part of the stamp so that it would be a bit lighter.

If you have not checked out the online exclusives you will want to do that soon. I don’t want you to miss out on any of these amazing stamp sets. Have fun creating with different color schemes. Happy Stamping!

Lifetime of Love Make It Monday #176

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos /

Happy Monday. Although it is almost fall, here in St. Louis the weather has been quite warm. The next few weeks are supposed to be in the 90’s which is not really typical for September. Oh, I am not complaining but I do hope we get some good fall weather in October.

I do have to wonder about all the young couples who are planning to get married this month. Chances are when they chose a September date they were not planning on summertime weather. While the weather might not be perfect for a wedding, today, I do have some pretty great wedding/anniversary and or birthday cards for you to create.

Blending Brush Color Technique

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Stamping Techniques /

Today’s card is all about using the Blending Brushes to create a soft background of color. While my colors are actually quite bright and bold, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green, you can use the blending brushes to soften to color. It is amazing how elegant this card turned out. Just remember the key for creating a beautiful soft background is really all about a light touch.

I began with a 3-3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White cardstock and used my blending brushes along with some Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green ink to create my background of color. I find a good trick when using the blending brushes is to start off my cardstock and use a light touch. You can always add more color, but you can’t take it away. If you are new to blending I suggest practicing a few times so that you can get the right feel for what is too dark.

My card is Poppy Parade and my accent layer is Granny Apple Green. I just layered these two colors and added a small strip of cardstock across the width of my white panel and added the greeting.

I stamped the large floral from Layers of Beauty on my newly created background using Memento Black ink. The Happy Anniversary greeting is from Layering Beauty and is also stamped with Memento Black ink. I used one of the dies from the Unbounded Love Bundle with my Stampin’ Cut n Emboss machine to crop the greeting. Add a little bling to match the colors of your card and that is it.

I hope you have fun experimenting with the Blending Brushes to create some fun backgrounds for your next card creation. Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae
