by Tracy | Jun 26, 2020 | Masking
To create today’s card, I used a technique called masking and it features the stamp set, Framed For You.
The base of my card is Thick Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Magenta Madness cardstock.The top layer is our regular Whisper White cardstock. I took a piece of Blue Painter’s Tape (you can find this at the grocery store, Target or probably even a drug store) and made it a little bit longer than my Whisper White cardstock, so about 6-1/2″. Before taping it to my cardstock, I taped it to my arm (sounds silly, I know). I did this several times to get some of the stickiness off the tape. If you’re wearing long pants. that will work too. You’ll want to do this step because if the tape is too sticky, it will rip your paper when you remove it. After doing that process several times, I placed the tape in the middle of my cardstock because that’s where I wanted the sentiment to be.
Next, I stamped the flowers and leaves in Magenta Madness, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive ink using the stamp set, Framed For You. Because I wanted the flowers and leaves to look as though they were behind the sentiment, I stamped so that some of each image was on the Whisper White cardstock and some on the blue tape. Once I finished, I carefully pulled the blue tape off the paper. Voila! A masterpiece! Just a word of warning, the ink will be sitting right on top of the tape, so be careful where you put it once you remove it (ask me how I know).
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the stamp set, Celebrate Sunflowers. If you wanted, you could always stamp your sentiment first and then place the blue tape over it.
To complete the card, I added three Artistry Blooms Sequins. These are so easy to use because they have adhesive on the back!
I hope you’ll give this technique a try! I had to practice several times because I didn’t like where I placed the flowers and leaves. You might want to practice on a piece of computer paper cut to the size of the cardstock you’ll be using. I did that and once I was happy with my results, I just looked at my practice piece and replicated it. Have fun!!

Today’s card features Peony Garden Designer Series Paper and the Best Year stamp set.
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base of my card and then layered it with Pool Party and Basic Black cardstock. Some texture was added to the Pool Party by using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Then there’s another layer of Basic Black with Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. This layer was popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped in Memento ink onto Whisper White cardstock, cut out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Three Holiday Rhinestones in Coastal Cabana were added to complete the card. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Paper Pumpkin
by Tracy | Jun 22, 2020 | Designer Series Paper, Die-Cutting, Embossing Folders
Today’s card features Playing with Patterns 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and Meadow Moments Embossing Folders.
I used Thick Whisper White for the base of my card and then added a piece of Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper (all the measurements I used can be found below the Supply List). Next came a layer of Misty Moonlight cardstock with an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock. I used the Meadow Moments Embossing Folders which is a set of embossing folders, half the size of our regular embossing folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to this layer to give it some pop.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock and cut out using a die-cutting machine and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It was layered with another larger rectangle in the set using Misty Moonlight cardstock. I also added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of this piece, too.
Bundle Alert
I used the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set on my card today. You can purchase the stamp set along with the coordinating dies as a bundle and save 10%.
