Today I’d like to share a fun card using the Polished Stone Technique! But first, I want to mention the Paper Pumpkin Flash sale! It started last night and will continue until tonight at 11:59, Mountain Time.

Onto my card! The Polished Stone technique is quite fun and very addicting! You need just a few supplies: reinkers (pictured below), rubbing alcohol, cotton balls and glossy cardstock, a new item in the catalog!
Next, add rubbing alcohol to a cotton ball. Add drops of reinker onto the cotton ball, I added four drops of each color (Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist).
Next, take the cotton ball and pounce it all over the surface of the glossy cardstock. Once you’ve done this all over the paper, take a clean cotton ball and dab over where you see puddles. OR you can forget this step. It depends on the look you want but I did do this step. Once it dries, you’ll have a beautiful, one of a kind, masterpiece!
It’s really fun and once you start, you’ll want to experiment with different colors!

I’m back with another idea for using the new Pattern Party Decorative Masks! Included in this new product are 4 different masks. Using the mask pictured below, I was able to apply Emerald Envy and Dapper Denim inks using a sponge dauber to make a quick and easy card.
The mask is on my grid paper and held down using blue Painters Tape, which can easily be removed after the color has been applied.
The sentiment comes from a new stamp set called Lots of Love (available in clear or wood mount). It was stamped in Emerald Envy and sits on top of a piece of Dapper Denim that was cut out using the Layering Circles Framelits.
I try never to use retired product on a card that you can’t purchase but I accidentally did that on this card with the heart embellishment. Fortunately our new Glitter Enamel Dots do come in Dapper Denim and would be a nice replacement.
All of the products I used to make my card are listed below. Ready to make a purchase? Simply click on any of the pictures below and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store!
Thanks for stopping by! Have a terrific day!

I’m back with another card featuring the versatile Pattern Party Decorative Masks. These masks can be used with sponges, embossing paste, spritzers, etc.
To create today’s design, you need a mask (four come in the set), sponge daubers, and ink. Yesterday’s card also used the same supplies but I used different colors and I masked the inside of the design. You can see that card HERE. To color today’s card I used sponge daubers to color the entire design and then added a sentiment in the middle.
I started in the lower right hand corner using Wisteria Wonder, then blended Perfect Plum into that and finished with Melon Mambo. When the card was completed, I added a final touch by adding some Wink of Stella to the inner half circles. Don’t you love the added sparkle?
I used the brand new stamp set, Beautiful Bouquet, for the sentiment and stamped it in Memento Ink. It was cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits. The outer circle was cut out in Elegant Eggplant using the Layering Circles Framelits.

If you’re looking for a fun way to create a card, you’ll love our new Pattern Party Decorative Masks. You can make beautiful designs using these masks with embossing paste, sponge daubers, spritzers, etc.
I made my card using sponge daubers and three Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Pads: Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry. I dabbed the daubers in the stamp pads and then rubbed them over the mask making sure to blend where the colors overlapped. So easy!
I wanted to be able to add a sentiment to the middle of my design so to prepare my paper I cut out a circle from a post it note (I bought the kind that has adhesive on the entire sticky note). After attaching it to the center of my Whisper White paper, I taped down the mask using Painters Tape. The picture below shows after I applied color.
The picture below shows right before I took off the sticky note mask. The last step was to add my sentiment.
Tomorrow I’ll share another card I made using these fun Decorative Masks!
