Here’s another masking technique that I definitely love but don’t use a lot. Again – I am not sure why because it’s fun and you can go in some many different directions with it. I used some color resist masking (with some added color block added in.) Here are the measurements quick: To start, I…
Last week, I asked what types of techniques you’d like to see – and masking techniques were one of the responses. This week, I’ll share a few that I know but don’t necessarily use all the time. I am not sure why – because they really make cards look great. I hope you enjoy them…
Here’s a sketch challenge (lucky #7) I’d like to share with you. This sketch can make a somewhat simple card – or you can jazz it up! Share your projects with me – in the comments below, email to jen@cardnmum.com, or post it to your social media feed using the tag #cardnmumsketches. I’d love to…
I’m sure you may have heard from me about how I was going to Houston last week for Stampin’ Up!’s OnStage convention . . .no? Hah! I may have talked about it a bit…sorry – it’s just so darn exciting. This event is for all demonstrators, regardless of title, and includes so much of everything…
The subscription period for April’s Paper Pumpkin kit is open. It’s called Delicate Wings – here’s some more details: Send elegant words of encouragement and support to those you love. I think the butterflies are perfect for Mother’s Day – I wonder what the sentiments included on the stamp set are going to be. I…
The floral images in the Simply Zinnia stamp set have really great detail that beg to be colored. I obliged with a bunch of different Stampin’ Blends. I added a sentiment from the Bottled Happiness stamp set and punched it out using the Modern Oval punch. I think this week is all about easy –…
Splashes of color on an embossed piece of Basic White makes this cards a fun one. I started with a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of Flowering Zinnias DSP on a Melon Mambo card base. I then embossed a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White card stock using the Zinnias 3D Embossing…
Here is one of the new Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up! It’s the Flowering Zinnias collection and it is bright and beautiful. I’m so ready for spring – hah! The 12″ x 12″ designer series paper it comes with has that awesome sheet that can be cut at 6″ down the middle and then trimmed…
Sometimes you love a punch to get some cards done quick? I used two sets for this pretty and easy card. A 4″ x 5 1/4″ panel of Delightfully Eclectic 12″ x 12″ DSP on a Garden Green card base (8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″) sets up a gorgeous background. I stamped my outline and…
Let’s go easy on this one. Just because it’s easy doesn’t mean it won’t turn out one heckuva nice card: I used some of the dies from Perennial Postage to help with this sketch example – but a simple square within a square will do you just fine. What colors/stamps would you use? I’d love…
