Gather Together The Sequal: A Study of Masking

 Okay... you all know by now how much Fall is my jam... and Stampin Up's Gather Together Bundle just speaks to my soul.  The leaves are PERFECTION!  Welp, this Freebie Friday features that perfection with some really fun masking techniques!


 The first two are the easiest and use the exact same Drybrush backgrounds stamp.  The card on the left is the first generation stamp of Drybrush in Crushed Curry and the card on the right is the second generation of the same stamp.  Then I die cut the leaves on two sticky notes using both die cut sticky note leaves to mask on the card on the left and then the negative sticky note space to mask the leaf of the card on the right.  Then using the sponge brayer I sponged Merry Merlot (with Night of Navy on the outer edges: optional) on the card on the left and sponged early espresso on the card on the right.  Because the card on the left was first generation of the Drybrush background stamp, the image showed through creating the most pleasing streaks in the background.... LOVE!!!

Now, for the final masked card, I took the second negative space die cut and masked off the area of the card I wanted my words to show being sure to cover the rest of the card so ONLY the leaf would get the words stamps and then stamped away.   During the Facebook Live, I did decide after this card was completed that I wanted to quickly outline the leaf just to give it more dimension.  This card also feature a sneak peek of the stamp set that is being featured in the next week's Freebie Friday.... our CASING edition featuring Celebration Tidings.... stay tuned for that!  I think that line of leaves at the bottom is a nice touch to this card for sure.  As always, the free PDF is below the last pic in this post!  HAPPY STAMPING!

I hope you love these projects as much as I do... and with Fall right around the corner, I hope these help to put you in the spirit!  LOL!

Past 7 Days....

Quick Tip and Treat!

So I was on my group message board at P eertrainer.com and someone made a recommendation that I thought was wonderful! So wonderful in fact that I spent the afternoon balancing my checkbook to see if I can afford it!!!! Apparently the Magic Bullet is quite the go-to gadget for trainers and athletes! Why? Isn't that just another piece of garbage that they are trying to push on those infomercials??? Well, that's what I thought, but I've gotta say that more than one person in the discussion said that this piece of garbage is invaluable in keeping them on track with their nutrition. Here's what I heard today about the Magic Bullet: It's got a really powerful motor It really is quick and easy to use (the infomercial didn't lie) The handy single servings make it quick and easy to whip up a power shake for a quick "treat"! If you drink more than one a day, you can make many different types of shakes without continually dirtying up an entire unit! NICE! A co...

So, today I wanted to share HOW I added the words to her tee.
