Measurements:

scored at 4 1/4″
Basic White CS: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″ , 3/4″ x 4 1/4″
scrap for snowflake die

Whenever I am stamping a larger format stamp image I turn it stamp side up and place the ink pad directly on the stamp image.
I think this gives you better coverage and control as you can see where you are inking!
I stamped the large snowflake image from the Snowy Delights stamp set off the layer above and below – this creates the illusion of expanse!
I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #1 and Balmy Blue ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #2 and Lost Lagoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes over the Balmy Blue ink.
Using the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks #4 and Azure Afternoon ink and a blending brush – I colored in the two partial snowflakes and the empty white space beside the two partial snowflakes.
Using the cluster of smaller snowflakes stamp image in Blueberry Bushel ink I stamped in between the two partial large snowflakes to add depth and texture.
Taking the extra 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer I stamped the large snowflake image off the bottom of the page in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I stamped the inside sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and blended the bottom edge with a blending brush and Blueberry Bushel ink for added color and texture.

Stamp the outside sentiment to the 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip, add the small snowflake stamp to the left-hand edge and blend the edges with a blending brush.

Adhere this layer to the inside of the card base.
Add the large snowflake die to the upper partial snowflake image – matching the die with the image and adhere with Multipurpose Glue.
Turn the layer over to the backside and cut the die that is hanging over the edge off.
Adhere this layer to the card front.
Pop up the sentiment strip on Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the bottom third of the card front.
Add the new Frosted Iridescent Dots in the Blue color to the card front to finish off this lovely Wintery card in a soft coordinating style.

Try your hand at some masking today and go create some artwork of your very own – one mask- one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – pumpkin pie, petal pink and balmy blue

by | Jul 14, 2025 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, more color mondays, online exclusives, techniques

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge takes it’s cue from the gorgeous Everyday Skies 6″ x 6″ DSP. The sheet on the front of this card is covered in fluffy clouds of Petal pink and light Pumpkin Pie set against a Balmy Blue sky. A perfect summer sky for a summery fun fold card! This card is called a Pop Out Swing Fun Fold and i will show you how easy it is to make!
Follow along and make one of your own!

Measurements:
BASE 1: Balmy Blue CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
BASE 2: Balmy Blue CS: 5 1/2″ x 8″
scored at 2″, 4″ and 6″
DSP: BASE 1 outside layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
BASE 2 inside layers: (3) 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″
Pumpkin Pie CS: scraps for butterfly dies
Petal Pink CS: scraps for butterfly dies

Score BASE 1 at 4 1/4″ and BASE 2 at 2″, 4″, and 6″.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Everyday Skies DSP layer to the Balmy Blue BASE 1 card front.

Flip BASE 1 over and adhere one of the Beautiful Bokeh DSP strips to the left-hand edge of the backside.
Die cut the large base butterfly image from the Beautiful Butterflies bundle out of the card front – cutting through both layers on the front and the DSP on the back side.
On BASE 2, place the 5 1/2″ side of the paper at the top edge of the Stampin’ Trimmer, cut at 3/4″ down to the 2″ score line on each side of the paper. Then cut along the 2″ score line in between the cut lines. This will leave two tabs on the top and bottom of this BASE piece.
Adhere the other two 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ Beautiful Bokeh DSP pieces to the second and thrid panels of BASE 2.
Stamp and decorate the Basic White 1 3/4″ layer and adhere to the last panel of BASE 2.
Place Multipurpose liquid glue to the back side of panel 4 and adhere to the right-hand edge of BASE 1 making sure that the outside edges align.
Fold in between panels 2 and 3 and apply liquid glue to the tabs.

Clos ethe card front over the tabs and adhere to the back of the BASE 1 card front. If you lie the BASE 2 flat and bring the BASE 1 card front over it this will ensure that the card will close well after adhering.

With the card closed, apply liquid glue to the inside right panel, the part that is visible through the butterfly die cut out space.
Die cut the butterfly base in Pumpkin Pie CS.
Die cut the butterfly detail die in Petal Pink CS.
Adhere the detailed die to the base with Liquid Glue.
Adhere the completed butterfly die to the right-hand edge that has glue on it – laying the butterfly into the original die negative space.
Once dry this will allow the butterfly to “swing” as the mechanism opens and closes with the card!
I added two smaller butterflies to the inside of the card and Holographic Resin Dots to the outside of the card to finish it off with a llittle sparkle!

You can cut out the front of the card wish any shape! Try a die that you have on hand and see what artwork you can create – one stamp at a time!

more color mondays – flirty flamingo, daffodil delight and balmy blue swap card

more color mondays – flirty flamingo, daffodil delight and balmy blue swap card

by | Mar 10, 2025 | card samples, card swap, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, fun fold, my favorites, online exclusives, techniques

Today’s More Color Monday Color Challenge was all about my Fun Fold Swap for the SOLD OUT OnStage 2025 Stampin’ Up! Event starting this coming week in Raleigh, North Carolina. On March 13th lucky demonstrators that registered in the first 6 hours that the event registration was open will be gathering in Raleigh, Strasbourg, France and Brisbane, Australia. I sadly will not be among them this year as I got shut out but a friend and fellow demonstrator that is hosting a large scale swap allowed me to remain on the list so I will have some fun elite OnStage Swaps to share as soon as they return home and he mails them out – stay tuned!

This is the card I submitted to the Fun Fold card swap!

Measurements:
BASE #1: Basic Black CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″
BASE #2: Basic Black CS: 3 1/2″ x 7″
scored at 3 1/2″ and 5 5/8″
scrap for die
Mixed Media DSP: (2) 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″
Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic White CS: 3 3/8″ x 3 3/8″
2″ x 3 3/8″
1″ x 3 3/8″
scrap for the sentiment die
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the Mixed Florals stamp/die cut
4″ x 5 1/4″ for the back-side of the card

Score the larger Basic Black BASE #1 at 2 1/2″ and 4 1/4″.
Adhere the 1 7/8″ strips of Mixed Media DSP to the first and second panels of BASE #1.
Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Beautiful Bokeh DSP to the third panel of BASE #1.
Stamp the tulip image from the Mixed Florals stamp set on one of the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layers.
Color the smaller flower petals in Light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends markers.
Color the lower half of the smaller blooms in Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends and then go over the entire petal to blend the colors with the Light Marker one last time.
Color the tulip petals with the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends marker.
Color the lower half and the highlight marks of the tulip blooms with the Dark Flirty Flamingo marker and then color the entire tulip petal surface with the Light marker to blend the flower petal.
Color the leaves with Soft Sea Foam Light marker.
Highlight with the Dark marker and then blend with the Light marker to finish the leaves.
Die cut the floral image out with the corresponding die.
I cut the flower image in two pieces.
I initially took the first and third Basic White layers the 3 3/8″ square (1st panel) and the 1″ (for the third panel) and embossed them with the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder I later decided to use the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder – because I liked the smaller pattern for this card!
I stamped the inside sentiment onto the 2″ layer and adhered all three layers to the smaller Z fold BASE #2.
I die cut the rectangular die shape from the Mixed labels die set in Basic Black cardstock and adhered it to the lower portion of the first panel.
I stamped the outside sentiment and die cut from the Mixed Labels bundle and burnished the edges with Flirty Flamingo ink and adhered it above the black die on the first panel.
I folded the smaller z fold closed and added Stampin’ Seal + to the exposed edge of the back of the first panel and adhered it to the middle of the larger BASE #1 first panel.

Then I closed the smaller Z fold and placed Stampin’ Seal + to the back of the third panel and closed the back side of the card over the tape securing the smaller Z fold to the larger z fold.

Adhere the smaller tulip stamped image to the third panel of the smaller z fold so that the leaf is sticking out at the top.
Place Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the large tulip piece and adhere to the left side of the first panels.
I decided I wanted one of the bloom to be Daffodil Delight as I did not have enough of this color on the card. So I redid the smaller bloom in Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends.
I added Adhesive-Backed Pearl trio embellishments to the card to finish off this fun swap card with some coordinating bling!

I love the way this turned out – how about you do you like the decisions I made during the creative process – changing the flower colors and the embossing folder? Let me know what you think and which way you preferred it!

Do not be shy to change your mind while creating – creative process is a fluid thing and be open to your creative instinct – try new things and do not be afraid to go in a different direction then you originally imagined – you might just like the outcome better than the original inspiration!

Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – gray granite, petal pink and balmy blue

more color mondays – gray granite, petal pink and balmy blue

by | Aug 26, 2024 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, embossing folders, more color mondays, my favorites, online exclusives

I’m glad to be back in my stamp studio and creating cards for you! Today’s More Color Monday combines soft subtle colors with one of my favorite neutrals Gray Granite. Petal Pink and Balmy Blue both from our Subtles collection are the other two colors today and I chose the Changing Leaves Hybrid bundle.

Measurements:
BASE: Gray Granite: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 5 1/2″
Basic White: 3 1/2″ x 4″ & scrap for sentiment
Subtles DSP: 1″ x 4″
Balmy Blue scraps for die leaves
Petal Pink Scraps for die leaves

Emboss the Basic White 3 1/2″ x 4″ layer in the Changing leaves embossing folder. I love this folder it can die cut and emboss at the same time if you choose to but this time I wanted the image uncut and whole.
Using a blending brush I added Petal Pink ink in a circular motion to the edges of the embossed layer. Petal Pink has a brownish pink hue and reminds me of old paper when applied like this.
I die cut Balmy Blue and Petal Pink leaf dies from the Changing Leaves die set.
I stamped the sentiment with Balmy Blue ink onto the small Stylish Shapes banner (I always cut some out of my Basic White scraps and have them on the edge of my creating station on my desk)
I pressed extra ink onto the lid of my Balmy Blue stamp pad to create an ink palette and using a water painter I added water to the lid and the extra ink and dipped the water painter into the inky water. Using the handle of my blending brush I smacked the waterpainter onto the handle while over the embossed layer flicking ink splatters over the entire surface of that layer this is a fun way to add a bit of colored depth and dimension to the layer.
I adhered the Balmy Blue DSP striped pattern to the edge of the embossed layer and adhered both to the right side of the card front.

I popped up the sentiment piece onto mini Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the die cut leaves around the sentiment and placed it on the center left hand side of the card front.

I added Adhesive-Backed Pastel Sequins to the card front to finish it off with some matching sparkle. Simple and sweet I love the way this card turned out. Remember little additions like coloring the edges with a blending brush and ink splatter can take your card to the next level.

Try to level up your creation today – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie
