The beauty of this, “The Spotlight Technique,” is that you are actually creating two cards at the same time!
I started with one piece of cardstock and one piece of Designer Series Paper, all cut to the same size. I prefer to cut both pieces at the same time so they will be a perfect fit for both cards. I find it easier to emboss after I cut. To cut diagonally, make a mark at 1 ½” at the bottom; see video.
Today, it is a Fun Fold Card that I call the Bridge with Center Floating. I shared this fold last week and now today it is with the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper. Perfect for this fall season. Plus, it is way easier than it looks. Let me share extra pictures, the supplies list, measurements, and the how-to video.
Measurements
Pecan Pie: Card Base 11″ x 4 ¼” score at 1 ⅜” and 2 ¾” at each end.
Sometimes we look at a stamp and immediately think of one particular season or occasion. For me, pinecones are definitely not just for Christmas! I love using them year-round, and today I’m sharing two cards featuring the beautiful Frosted Pinecones stamp set, with two different ways to create a soft watercolor-splash background.
Both techniques are simple, but they give you two completely different looks. And the best part?
One of the things I love about these Frosted Pinecones Decorative Masks is that they can be used in more than one way!
In my video, I’ll show you how to use the masks with a Blending Brush (4 per sheet) to add color and create a beautiful pine cone design. But that’s not all!
I’ll also show you how you can use the masks with your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to create an embossed texture.
