Sneak Peek of Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks


The new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog is here and packed with some amazing fall and holiday products. Please let me know if you need a catalog if you don't already have a demonstrator you are working with. You can email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. I really had fun playing with these new Decorative Masks and think you will too. 

 Let's make this card! Gather your supplies 
1. Cajun Craze cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line. Second piece 4 1/4" by 5 1/2"
2. Basic White cardstock--2 pieces 3 3/4" by 5" 
3. Crushed Curry cardstock--small scrap for sentiment
4. Stamp Sets--Autumn Leaves (from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog)
5. Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks (from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog)
6. Ink--Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Copper Clay, Early Espresso, Garden Green, Soft Seafoam 
7. Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder
8. Ribbon--Copper & Natural Combo Pack (from the new Sept-Dec Mini Catalog)
9. Basic supplies--Bone folder, Paper Snips, adhesive (I like Multipurpose Glue), Paper Trimmer, Glue Dots, Take Your Pick Tool, Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, Dimensionals, Small and Regular Blending Brushes

Take one of the pieces of Basic White cardstock. Notice the new masks all have a little notch on the top, so you know which direction they go, as well as they have a number on each to tell you order to use them in. Start with the flower one--you can hold or tape them down. Use your Blending Brush (I used the large one here) and the Crushed Curry ink to color first, then use Cajun Craze only close to the center.  You can watch my Facebook Live (or YouTube) to get more pointers. 


Then you can either do some leaves in Garden Green (I moved the leaf mask around where I wanted them). Put some leaves on the other Basic White piece for the inside. For the centers there is a mask of 3 circles and I used Copper Clay for that, and a small Blending Brush.  I used a light touch and Early Espresso for the last mask for the centers. Now use the Soft Seafoam and VERY LIGHTLY color in the background with your Blending Brush. See how realistic this looks!

Stamp the sentiment (Autumn Leaves) with Cajun Craze on the scrap of Crushed Curry and fussy cut around it as below. Cut the 1"  Natural Ribbon longitudinally and you will notice you can pull out some strands to get the fringed effect. Tie the ribbon around the stamped piece and knot it.

Let's put this card together. Run the  4 1/4" by 5 1/2" piece of Cajun Craze through your Die Cutting and Embossing Machine with Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Attach this piece to your folded card base then attach the flower piece. Attach the sentiment with Dimensionals. 

Here's another view of the finished card.

  Floating Christmas Tree So if you make a lot of holiday cards like I do, it is time to start working on them! I know, I know, we haven't had Halloween yet, but if you want to send them out before the holiday it is time to get working. And this lovely card was inspired by someone else (sorry I just took a picture of it but there was no name on it so I can't thank you) who used her scraps to make the tree. I took it one step further and made a floating scraps tree. I've been wanting to make a card with this technique for a while and I knew this tree would look fabulous like this. And the second bonus is that I got to use up a ton of Lights Aglow scraps, even the small ones. All you need to do is cut your scraps into 1/2" pieces, attach them to a piece of window sheet and then cut out whatever shape you like. What an amazing way to use up something you might have otherwise thrown out. Win! Win! If you get lost making this card, or you are just a visual learner, please w

One Horse Open Sleigh Card We have a lot of wonderful things starting 7/6/23 over on Stampin' Up. First up is everyone can now buy several new products that are On-Line Exclusives, including this lovely 6" by 6"  Designer Series Paper called One Horse Open Sleigh. It is made to go with a new horse and sleigh stamp set, but as you can see, it is beautiful on its own. It has lovely wintery scenes on one side and nice small images on the other side. Perfect for holiday cards, but also great for other types of cards. Today I decided to make it in to a birthday card that you can use for a male or female birthday.  Another thing that starts 7/6 is we get a Clearance Rack refresh so check it out for some amazing deals. Last, but not least is Bonus Days--for every $50 you spend for the rest of July, you get a $5 coupon to use in August. Yay! Free stamping products!  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies  1.
