Cuppa and Cards - Under My Umbrella: Negative Masking Technique

It's Thursday and so it means it's time to share another Cuppa and Card class with you all.

This week I tried a new technique out called Negative Masking. I was totally inspired by a card from another Demo called Jaimie Babarczy and you can see her amazing card here on her blog, Stamp It Up With Jamie.

I'm a huge fan of Mikaela at the Crafty Oink Pen and couldn't help but use her design for this card. Make sure you check her card out too: The Crafty Oink Pen.

Usually when you want to mask an image, it's to let you lay multiple stamped images down, without stamping over the top of each other and leaving lines. But on today's card, I've actually used the negative to prevent the lines from going outside of my image.

As you can see in my little umbrella, I've stamped the flower image inside of the umbrella, but only on the inside. Nothing got stamped out side, leaving that area white.

Ok, so I know this technique is pretty hard to explain and so I thought it would be better if I made a quick video and actually showed you exactly what I mean and how to do it yourself. Your welcome!!

I hope you have fun finding ways you can use this in your crafting soon!!

Happy Crafting,

Chlo

Cuppa and Card June - Under My Umbrella: Card One

Where has the month gone already?!? I can't believe we are already 3 weeks into our Card and Cuppa series and I haven't  had chance to share the first two cards yet.

Today's card was CASED from the amazingly talented Michelle Last. I have been following Michelle for years and I actually got to meet her in Orlando, when my lovely friend Teneale Williams introduced us. She's really is as gorgeous inside and out.

You can see Michelle's card HERE and you'll see that I really didn't change much at all. How can you improve on perfection. I just changed up my colours and of course added bling!

I'm not sure what I love most about this card. The simple touch of adding the embossed brick wall folder to the right hand side or the chance to use my Stampin' Blends to colour in those beautiful flowers. I used my favourite combo of Petal Pink, Rococo Rose, Pool Party and Old Olive.

Because this is my monthly online class, I have also recorded a tutorial for you all, so you guys can make this amazing card too:

So I hope you enjoy the tutorial and don't forget if you share your card to tag me so I can see it too!! Check back in tomorrow for last weeks card and then hopefully Thursday I will actually be up to date and can share this weeks Cuppa and Card card.. Phew!!

Happy Crafting,

Cuppa and Cards - June: Under My Umbrella

I'm excited to share a sneak of my next Cuppa and Card class for June. We will be showcasing the awesome new Under My Umbrella stamp.

Originally I was planning on using the 6x6 stacks as part of the class kits, but due to them having been on the retirement list, they have since sold out!

So I've decided that we will hold off starting this class until 11th June. This allows you to place your Cuppa and Card class product purchases on 3rd June, when the new catalogue goes live.
The items that you will need to purchase to participate in the class are:

• Under My Umbrella Stamp Set: 151518 $28.00
• Brights 6x6 Designer Series Stack: 152487 $20.00
• Optional Extra: I would highly recommended adding the coordinating punch to your order. It will save you a lot of fussy cutting: 151293 $31.00

Card kits will be sent out as soon as your order has been placed. Classes will be each Thursday at 1pm via Zoom, which will be recorded and shared on my Facebook page and Youtube on the same day.

Happy Crafting,
