Masking

Hey there Stampers and would-be stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!

For the last few months it hasn't been possible to get together in person to create cards. So I've had to get very creative to put together some kits for my Stamper's Club each month that doesn't involve stamping. So for this card, it was all about using the Basic Pattern Decorative masks. 

I hope you like it!

Peaceful Petals Sponging

Hey there Bloggers! Woohoo it's Friday! And I am headed to a skating competition this weekend in St Albert. 

Are your kids involved in sports? This will be the last year for my daughter as she is moving on to University next year but I am sure that she will keep up with her skating when she comes home. She just won't be competing anymore. Next year will be my son's last year in hockey too. Life is changing...

Today's card is one that I made based on an idea that I saw on Hero Arts blog. It has some sponging, some emboss resist and some layering.

Enjoy!

Swallowtail

Hey there bloggers! Today's post is a card that I made for my Stamper's Club last week but it was actually CASE'd from Sami. 

Basically you are stamping your image onto Vellum with Staz On Ink. Then you are masking the butterfly on a piece of white cardstock underneath using the negative image. You are filling in the image using a sponge dauber and ink. Then you attach the vellum over top of the inked area and your sponged color will show through the stamped image. And I really like the idea of attaching your vellum by folding it under the cardstock. 

Don't forget that the 2013-2014 Stampin' Up! Catalogue goes live on May 31 so make sure you email me today to get your copy!
