Day 3: Beautiful You - Masking Technique with a BONUS TECHNIQUE

Good Morning everyone! I really hope you have been enjoying the techniques week. Let me know what you have enjoyed so far. Did you try out the techniques? Don't wait....try it out with me. 

Today's technique is the Masking technique, with this technique you can create an overlap of the stamps without the lines running over into each other! 


This card is dedicated to my friend Maria Gill! She's the most supportive and amazing friend ever. She stuck with me for our 5k obstacle run! Here's a sneak peek pic of us. Don't mind the sweaty selfie! 






Instructions: 

1. Ink the stamp ( girl with umbrella from Beautiful You Stampset). Stamp on whisper white. 

2. Use paper snips to fussy cut the stamped image. 


3. Keep the cut out image ready. 


4. On a separate piece of cardstock, stamp the image of the girl. Use the cut out image to cover the image you stamped, and stamp the girl next to the one you already stamped. 


5. Keep stampin image and cover the girl each time you stamp near it. 





6. Take the stamped cardstock. 


7. Use the color pencils to color in the girl. I used basic grey, because I wanted the girls in the background fade, and highlight the girl in the front. 


8. Stamp the girl kicking and dancing, fussy cut it and color it in with markers. 


9. Finish the card with the extra embellishments and punch cut outs. 

NOW FOR THE BONUS TIP!! USE THE FINE TIP GLUE TO COLOR THE GIRL IN!! 
IT LEAVES A GLOSSY TEXTURE FEEL TO IT!! 


Here's the finished card image!



Hope you enjoyed today's technique. Try it out. You don't need anything special really to try this technique out. Just repeat the stamp!

Bugs and Kisses Birthday Party theme!

Today, I went to a fun birthday party of a 7 year old boy who loves bugs. He's a very sweet kid and I wanted to help make his birthday special. So, I made him bug themed party decor.  I made little favor bags using the Bag punch board filled them with plastic bugs ( yes, I'm not even coming close to touching a real one. I had my husband make sure there weren't even fake lizards in there). I also added hershey kisses in the bag mixed in. I made him a bug themed birthday banner and  a cake topper as well. This,by the way, is my favorite pic I've ever taken using my phone. I just love the blue of the door popping out.  Once the bag was punched out using bag punch, I used the Bugs and Beetles retired stampset, which I borrowed from my sweet upline, Holly Stene. (Holly, thanks a lot for letting me borrow this stampset). Then I used the different color combos to make the bugs pop right out of the bag.  There were some fun gummy worms and f

Organized Card Giver Goal

You are driving home from grocery store or work, you stop by the mailbox and open it. You try to pry every single piece of mail from in there. You quickly try to scan the mail you got…and it’s mostly bills, advertisements, random credit card approval applications. Because…that’s ever worked!! You sigh, because its normal, routine and boring!! Then you realize you see a teeny tiny envelope, with a handwritten label. Not the fake cursive kind that some organization uses to ask for money, but the real kind! You open it, and it’s a greeting card. Handwritten greeting card that says Happy Birthday or Just thinking of you, and it put a huge smile to your face. I love that feeling, and guess what? I want all my loved ones to feel that feeling. Even better, I want to be the one to put that smile on their faces. I never truly understood the importance of getting cards in the mail until my husband Ray went to the hospital. He had surgery and was in the hospital recovering for almost 2 m

Organized Card Giver Post #4 Technology Hack For Keeping Addresses And Birthdays Organized

Hey everyone,  Last post I mentioned keeping a google document for birthdays. Were you thinking.....I'm sending handmade cards to avoid technology and how impersonal it feels! So, why is this woman, asking me to use technology for birthdays?!  I ask myself everyday, what the balance is between technology and personal. I like to use personal handmade gifts and cards or spend quality time with family and friends. But, I like to use technology almost like a personal assistant. If you are related to me, you know I would not even know what to buy at the grocery store if it weren't for my amazon Alexa.  I tend to forget things. Do you ?  I will at times have momentary lapse and forget even the names of my colleagues and then I end up with an awkward..." hey you!! " Very similarly...I forget birthdays, not because I don't care, but because I just can only keep so many things in my head. This is where I like to use technology.  One of the reasons to
