Sophisticated Sled Card With a Wood Background

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Today I am sharing a card made with a stamp and die bundle called "Sophisticated Sled".   This bundle is an Online Exclusive meaning it will not show in any catalog publication. 

I like it as it offers some variety, especially how you can create the sled.  For this card, I simply stamped the sled and used the framelit die to cut out.  I will be sharing another project showing how to creating the sled with die cuts so stay tuned for that.  

So same, you can simply stamp the ice skates, color and die cut with framelit die but in my project, I die cut the boots, laces and blades and glued them together!  So cool.  Let's take a look.

My colors are Gray Granite and Petal Pink.  I chose those because they coordinate with Designer Series Paper called Country Woods.   This is a great 12 x 12 paper pack you should check especially, until August 31, 2024... It's On Sale!  All our DSP in the Annual Catalog is 15%.  

There are two layers of greenery done in Old Olive and Granny Apple Green.  

I added a Linen Thread Bow that has 4 loops for some bulk.

My favorite more subtle detail.... The clear embellishments!  These are a must see in-person or go to my shop:  Pecan Pie & Clear Adhesive-Backed Dots.  Here's a close up:

We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop - Masterful Masking

We Bee Stamping Blog Hop Logo

Welcome to the We Bee Stamping TEAM Blog Hop. 

This month's theme is Masterful Masking.  You will find the tools you need for masking in the Annual Catalog on page 124 and 125.  From Masking paper to Blending Brushes, there are also some great examples.  But, that it was we are here to do as well, show some great Masking!  So let's get started.  

I am featuring our Masking Paper, Blending Brushes and the Lifetime of Love cling stamp set creating a Retiform or color blocking design. 

#stampwithlisabrown #maskingtechnique

Our masking paper comes in a 12 pack of 5" x 7" sheets.  I like to use long strips so I cut two 2" x 7" strips leaving me with a 1" x 7" strip. 

Angle the making papers across a piece of Basic White card stock and use your Blending Brush to add color.  It is more important to add more ink along the masing papers edge.  Change the direction of your masking papers to create different quadrants.  

Then use the Masking Papers to mark off each quadrant to stamp the images. 

This is such a fun way to stamp and the possibilities are endless.  Trying using different color inks too!

Now let's buzzz on over and see what Karen Burke has to share...
