Stamp Off Soar Confidently with Blending Brushes

Welcome my creative friends, to another Stamp Off

challenge with Susan, Buffy and I.  Today we 

are doing a masculine card challenge.

 There are so many fun sets in the new January-June 2021 

Mini Catalog!  I love the fact that we now have the Blending

Brushes (page 70), that enable some great techniques.

In this example, I embossed the hot air balloon from the

Soar Confidently stamp set (page 70) and then used the

Blending Brushes to add color to the Very Vanilla card stock.

I used a marker to mask part of the sentiment, in order to isolate the word "wonderful".  Finally, I added some Very Vanilla string

to finish things off.

Please visit Buffy and Susan, to check out their 

wonderful masculine cards.  I love getting new

inspiration for masculine projects!

Darling Donkeys with Sweet Strawberry Sentiment

 This is another card, featuring the Berry Delightful DSP 

(SAB page 14) with the Sweet Strawberry Stamp set on 

page 44 (Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog).  I have to say that 

once you make a shaker card, using the medium clear

envelopes on page 153, you are hooked.  The 

Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles (Mini catalog page 49) really

give this card a good rattle.

For the focal point, I had to use the FREE

SAB Darling Donkeys set (page 4), cut out with the 

Stitched So Sweetly dies on page 179.  Finally, 

a bit of foil dresses things up and adds a decree of separation.

Sweet Strawberry with Strawberry Builder

 

I just love using the Berry Delightful DSP (SAB page 14)

with the Sweet Strawberry Stamp set on page 44 (Jan-

June 2021 Mini Catalog).  It creates such happy, bright cards. 

I have found that it is very helpful to use a punch template

to line up your stamps on a block.  I just leave these stamps

on the block, so each time I use the Sweet Strawberry set,

with coordinating Strawberry Builder punch, everything is lined up.
