Creative Collab Crew Brayer Technique Cards

5/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Have you used a brayer before?   There are so many ways to use one so Kathy, Melissa and I decided it was the perfect choice for this week's technique challenge.  Be sure to go see how they used it as well. 

I decided to do an ombre effect by layering three colors together.  The new Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper is perfect for this because it's all black and white.  I cut the DSP to 4 x 5 1/2 to leave a little color at the top and bottom.

When I went to create my video I decided to switch up the colors I used and do a pink version.  I am loving that we got Strawberry Slush back as an In Color! 

Don't miss the great new Textured Notes dies.  Each one has a fun design to it.  I used three of them on this card.

Coloring with Daffodil Daydream

2/20/2022

0 Comments

 
The Daffodil Daydreams did not call to me at first.  I have to admit I have a LOT of flower sets already...but once I started seeing others use it I knew I needed to have it.  It is so much fun for coloring!  

This was water coloring on Shimmer White using an aqua painter (now we have Water Painters) and ink.  You can either "smoosh" your ink pad lid into the ink pad or you can add drops of ink to the inside of the lid and then use the painter to "pick up" the ink to paint with.  Our Shimmer White paper does very well with water coloring. 
Picture
After I painted I trimmed the piece down and layered with some Designer Series Paper and Basic Black card stock on a Granny Apple Green base.

I go long periods of time forgetting to use my colored pencils.  I especially like the look of using them on card stock other than Basic White. 
Picture
This one is also colored pencils on Pool Party card stock.

Berry Delightfull is Truly Delightful

The bright bold colors and designs in this paper makes me smile.  This Designer Series Paper (DSP) (along with the coordinating stamp set Berry Blessings) is a Sale a-Bration offering through the end of February.  You can earn it for FREE with a $100 Stampin' Up! purchase. Shop here! It also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle found in the January-June Mini Catalog. 
Picture

Allowing the paper to do the work makes these very quick and easy cards to make.  I'm also a sucker for a good pun!
Picture
TIP: When I get ready to heat emboss I like to do a lot at one time.  I grab a stack of Basic Black scraps, my stamps and my Versamark and pull out the embossing powder and heat tool.  Since it's a bit of work to get it all set up I prefer to make it count! 
Picture
TIP: Cutting your 12x12 DSP to 4 x 5.25 pieces make it the perfect size for layering on a card front.  It also gets me to use it instead of letting it pile up!
