(I absolutely love all these faces! From left to right clockwise: Parker, Jaylene, Joey, Nick and Rob) So I got to be there right in the action of their parade performance with the water…Īnd to cheer them on later for their TV 5:00 news performance. I was one of these chaperones/band parent volunteers. His high school marching band, and the many parent volunteers. I had intended to get this card posted this morning, but I was at the Minnesota State Fair all day yesterday with my son Nick,… So if your Christmas card list is long, I would encourage you to get the supplies you need and start creating sooner than later. This card is a bit of work with cutting and layering all the die-cuts. A Soft Succulent circle die-cut with the 2-1/2″ diameter die.A Cherry Cobbler circle die-cut with the 2-1/2″ diameter die.(2) 2” x 5-3/8” bokeh pattern for the front panels.(2) 2” x 5-3/8” bokeh and gold garland pattern for the inside panels.(2) 2” x 5-3/8” for the back side for a place to write.Scraps for die-cutting pinecones (3 large and 6 small).4” x 5-1/4” scrap for die-cutting the set of pine needles.Scrap for die-cutting the front sentiment circle (diameter of about 1-3/4″).

Ready to stamp? Grab your Blending Brushes and some ink and the video will walk you through creating your masked background ombre card! Masking for Ombre Backgrounds with Time of Giving – Card Tutorial Video: The crisp white card base is a great foil for the deep saturated blues in the background.Īdd the blue adhesive backed gems for the perfect accent.

These products go so well together – and there are SO many possibilities for the elements… how about a santa’s sleigh silhouette card? Or ornaments in your favorite colors? Just add ombre background behind the top panel and cut the pretty snowflake silhouette from the top layer to create a window. In fact, the pumpkins inspired my second card: And the sweet pumpkin silhouette is a perfect bonus from the Gift Giving Dies. I love the way the ombre technique works with a mask to highlight the inside of the card, too. The colors echo perfectly from the background and the blends fit the theme of the card better than a plain cardstock die cut shape. When you remove the mask, voila, all the pretty color is revealed with the contrast vs the light background.īlending Brushes make a great way to treat cardstock BEFORE die cutting, too, as I’ve done on the leaves above. Then stamp the leaves and dots on the card front – all BEFORE removing the mask. Colors here were Pale Papaya, Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry. Use Blending Brushes to apply the color (I masked the top and the bottom of this card layer). A large post-it note works perfectly, because you can stick it down and not worry as much about the mask shifting while you’re applying color. To create the torn border effect, tear a piece of paper and hold it over your project layer. Be sure to check the link below for supplies! This stamp set is a sleeper – it’s easy to overlook, but I’ve got TWO cards today that will bump this bundle to the top of your Stampin’ Up! Wish List. I’ve been loving my Blending Brushes for creating autumn color and the new Time of Giving stamp set and coordinating Gift Giving Dies are the perfect combination to show off this #simplestamping masking technique.
