Layers of Beauty ~ Make It Monday #170

Anniversary & Love-Weddings, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thank You / August 5, 2024

Layering is a technique used to add dimension and texture to our creations. By combining different papers, textures, and embellishments, layering can guide a viewer’s eye by creating visual cues that strategically highlight focal points. But what if you tried layering with different masking templates like in our Layers of Beauty Bundle. This simple layer helps to add color detail in all the right places.

While this is not a 5 minute card technique, it really does not take long to add the differently layers to your floral image. It does take a bit of patience to let the template do all the work, I am sure you will not be disappointed, as creating these layers is simple and if you take the time to add each layer I am sure you will be amazed with the artistic result. Happy Stamping!

I am always amazed at how different our card creations turn out when we use a variety of colors or we add a little bling. This is one of those stamp sets that looks bold with a darker ink and soft and subtle with a lighter color. Have fun experimenting and Happy Stamping!

Sneak Peek New Bundle~Make It Monday #168

Get Well & Sympathy, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos / July 22, 2024

Happy Monday everyone! I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek for a new bundle that will be coming in September in the Holiday Mini Catalog. Coming this fall, Winterly Tree Tops. I know you will have fun creating all year round with this adorable set of birds and greenery. Even though it will debut in the Holiday Mini, it is definitely a set that is great for all seasons.

My mom would have loved this set. She always enjoyed sitting on her deck and watching the birds, especially in the spring as they were building their nests. If you are a bird lover, this bundle is for you!

Bubble Up Technique ~ Make It Monday #166

Congratulations-Graduation-Retirement, Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Stamping Techniques, Thank You / July 15, 2024

Today I am excited to share with you a technique I am calling Bubble Up! It is a fun technique that uses bubbles and re-inkers. There are several videos on the internet using dishwashing soap, water, and re-inkers. I just found it a bit easier to use already prepared bubble from the dollar store. I hope you enjoy this fun technique. It is certainly one you can do outside with your kids this summer.

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos, Thank You / June 24, 2024

Happy Monday….Did you know that modern scrapbooking first emerged in 1800 when photography was invented. Scrapbooking is still popular today because it is all about expressing one’s thoughts, feelings and sentiments. It’s about preservation of memories and special moments, and recording family stories. Scrapbooks were cherished and kept by families for many years. Welcome to our Close to My Heart Friends!

#161 Make It Monday-You are Beautiful!

Just Because Cards, Make it Monday Videos, Thinking of You / June 3, 2024

Remember when we were kids and we dreaded Mondays? Well not anymore because each Monday I get to share a new video with you and hopefully provide a little inspiration for your crafting project. Today I am sharing three cards that I created with the new You Are Beautiful stamp set. And for my third card I also used the new Grateful Blessings set. I know my craft room is my happy place, so let’s get on with it!

https://youtu.be/c4I4G8luUI4

I usually don’t go for the Poppy Parade but I guess this week I just need a little something bright in my Monday. I love the bright and cheery look of the Lemon Lime Twist with the Poppy Parade. And don’t you think the You are Beautiful, the Grateful Blessings and the new Spotlight on Nature sets compliment each other nicely?
