Happy Easter Monday! I pray that our Risen Lord will bless you abundantly during this Easter Season. I thought it would be fun to go through my springtime DSP scraps to create a few fun cards for you. So dig out your leftover scraps and create something beautiful with me today.
Did you know that when you cut a 12 x 12 piece of DSP into six card fronts measuring 4 x 5 1/4 that you will have a strip of 1 1/2 x 12 left over? Fun, right? Well, when that happens, don’t throw them away or cut them down because today I am going to show you how to use them to create a strip paper piecing card. Check out the video below that explains how this technique works.
Hey friends, I am excited to share with you the March product of the month, Notes of Spring. If you don’t have this cute little set, you still have time to place a $75 order before the end of the month. I am sure you will love playing with these sweet little characters. They make great spring and Easter cards!
It is really hard to pick a favorite, but I think I am partial to the stinkin’ cute duckling. It would make a sweet birthday card for all ages. Have fun creating with this cute set. The sky is the limit!
A Closer Look at today’s cards!
I stamped and cut out my cute little duckling, but that is only because I dropped this little guy when I was stamping on my white panel. Not to worry, there are no mistakes in stamping, only creative opportunities, so I just stamped him again and used my handy dandy paper snips to cut him out. Whala, it is fixed! You can just stamp your image directly to the card panel, or stamp and crop him. Either way his is so stinkin’ cute.
I stamped and used my paper snips to crop these little ones on purpose. It was much quicker and easier than masking, but either way will work.
I usually don’t use much of the Sea Foam cardstock, but today, I guess I was in the mood for a little light colored spring. I think it turned out perfectly if I do say so myself. I love the tone on tone look. I did add a but of ink with a sponge dauber to the greeting just for a little darker highlight! Love it~
I hope you have fun playing with this sweet set. If you don’t have it, I would love for you to place a qualifying order with me, just click the Shop with Me button below! Happy Stamping!

Happy Wednesday all. You are half way to the weekend and the weather is looking fantastic. Of course any weather day is a good day for stamping, but sunny and warm is always nice. Today I am sharing with you a few more techniques as we continue with our masking fun.
I do hope these techniques will help you think outside the box when creating your hand-stamped cards. If you don’t have making paper, you can always use printer paper. The key is to use a thin paper so you will not have dramatic lines around your masked images. Stampin’ Up! masking paper just makes everything easier because it is adhesive backed. I love using this, especially when I am using the Blending Brushes…..so much easier!
Hello my stamping friends. Due to the storms in St. Louis, this post may be posted a bit later that usual, but Praise the Lord we have power and this post will go out today. I pray that wherever you are the storms missed you as well. On Friday, I hosted a Masking Technique class and while I will not be sharing with you all of the techniques we learned. I am sharing a few masking techniques that I hope you will try. I will share a few more with you on Wednesday in the second part of this 2-part series.
One of the most important things you will need to know about masking, especially if you are creating a scene or staggering images, whatever you stamp first on your cardstock will be the image that is in front. Placing a mask on that image will allow you to stamp over the mask, thus putting the newly stamped image behind the first image you stamped.
Let’s take a closer look!
In this card I stamped the Cajun Craze pot and the leaves in it first (see video) and then the subsequent pots and leaves. I used colored pencils to create a table look and used a blender pen to smooth the lines. If you have not used the blender pens with your colored pencils, you are going to love them. Click here to check out our blender pens.
The second important thing about masking, is to use high quality masking paper and to trim as close to the design as possible. Click here to check out our Masking Paper. This will minimize the gaps between your stamped images. If you do get a small gap, again the blender pen with a little ink will help hide those gap lines.
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. If your area observes daylight saving time then you all know we lost an hour of sleep last night. The good news-spring is almost here. In today’s video I am sharing three fabulous spring cards using the new Flowers Fair background stamp. This is a great set of flowers and I know you are going to love them.
Happy Monday all. Today I am sharing with you three cards that I created using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. If you don’t have this punch it is a good one. I use it for a variety of greetings, but today I thought I would think outside the box and use it for a background on two of our cards.
I think this technique would also look cool with the To the Point punch as well. Perhaps you have other punches in your stash that would work too. Use whatever is in your crafting stash and of course have fun creating!
Happy Monday. I hope you all had a blessed weekend. I am sharing with you today, two cards that I created using the Trusty Tools stamp set featured online and in the annual catalog.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy our card ideas for today. Be sure to stop back on Wednesday for some painter’s tape techniques. Happy Stamping!
