Creative Card Closet

Love You Always Suite

Today I have a great way for you to use our Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. Normally, crafters think of masks just for sponging color through onto cardstock to have the pattern show through, but this is a fun way to expand your card making.

Let's take a look at today's project:

First off.... I LOVE black-n-white cards, don't you? I keep saying I am going to create a black-n-white series. Leave me a comment if you would like to see that!

Card Details:

Basic White card base cut 4-1/4 x 11 scored and folded at 5-1/2"
Basic Black layer cut 3-3/4 x 5" and adhere to card base
Basic White top layer is cut 3-5/8 x 4-7/8"
Lay Decorative Mask over about half of the white top layer piece and press VersaMark ink over patter
Remove mask, cover with Black Embossing power and heat emboss
Cut 6-1/2" piece of ribbon and adhere
Die cut Love background and detailed Love word (use Adhesive sheets! Makes life a lot easier on detailed dies)
Adhere Love to card with Mini Black Dimensionals
Stamp the word YOU with Memento ink
Add Black Matte dots

Watch my VIDEO HERE to see how I masked off where I wanted my embossed area to be.

I hope you liked this project today. You can shop at stampwithlisabrown.stampinup.net or by clicking on any of the supply items below.

How To Do Easy Spotlight Card

03/21/2021

SAVI Sunday 53 - How To Do Easy Spotlight Card

Welcome to Episode 53 of my YouTube Series... SAVI Sunday (stamping & various inspiration). You can click the above link to watch my video or see it posted below. Make sure you are subscribed to my channel while you are watching.

So my Spotlight card features the below items. Two I know for sure will be retiring in a few short weeks; True Love Designer Series Paper and the Purple Posy Blends Combo Pack. But I am in fear of a favorite die set going too... the Well Written Dies. This die set has 24 dies! 14 of them are words like I am using below. We will be finding out this week (March 24, 2021) what is retiring from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog so stay tuned.

Let's take a look at my card:

I love a black-n-white design but I think adding just a splash of color adds so much to it.

Card Details:

Basic Black card stock base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored and folded at 4-1/4"
True Love DSP cut 4 x 5-1/4"
Die cut a square of the DSP any where you would like (just leave a bit for a boarder)
Color image with Blends
Take next larger square die and cut a piece of Basic Black CS
Adhere colored DSP square to above piece of black cardstock
Adhere square with Dimensionals
Die cut words from Well Written Dies (Make sure to use our Adhesive Sheets!)
Adhere to basic white, fussy dies around words & adhere to card front
Don't forget some Rhinestones for some bling

I told you this was an easy spotlight card. Don't you agree? And the True Love Designer Series Paper is just fantastic for this.

Don't forget, you can add as much, as little or No color at all and still end up with a beautiful card.

SAVI Sunday - Episode 47: Combining Stampin' Blends Alcohol Marker Colors

I can't say enough out Stampin' Blends Markers. They have become my favorite coloring tool over the last few years. If you have not tried them, you really need to! Hopefully, this weeks SAVI Sunday Video will convince you to try. I would recommend Old Olive Combo and a second combo pack in a shade of your favorite color.

All three (3) products features paper, stamps, dies, and other items from the Love You Always Suite Collection.

The ease of combining different Stampin' Blends together makes you look like a true artist... Let's take a look:
