Enduring Beauty

Published on February 10, 2024February 10, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

On my Tuesday night ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using Stampin’ Up!® Enduring Beauty Stamp. This stamp is part of a Enduring Beauty Bundle, the bundle includes stamps, dies and masks.

Measurements Used…

	Colour	Imperial/Letter	Metric/A4
Card Base	Basic White	4 ¼ x 11”, score @ 5 ½”	10.5 x 29.9cm, score @ 14.9cm
Card Mat	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Front Base	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Card Insert Mat	Lost Lagoon	4 x 5¼”	10 x 14.4cm
Card Insert	Basic White	3 ⅞ x 5 ⅛”	9.7 x 14.1cm
Sentiment	Berry Burst	½ x 4¼”	1.3 x 10.5cm
Sentiment Mat	Lost Lagoon	⅝ x 4¼”	1.6 x 10.5cm

This is a simple card to create, masking an area off area approx 6 x 8cm (2¼ x 3½”) using masking paper or ‘Post it Note Paper’. You want the masked area to be smaller than the stamp image, so that it has some ‘black and white’ image. Make sure the outer edge of the card front is covered so ink doesn’t colour the areas you want clean.

Using a Blending Brush, start with Fresh Freesia Ink and brush in a circular motion down 2/3rds of card front. From top down add Berry Burst to the top third of the card. Blending the Berry Burst into the Fresh Freesia. This also hid where I added too much ink in the Fresh Freesia (see Video).

Working from bottom up add Lost Lagoon blending it into the Fresh Freesia. Remove the masking paper.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the Enduring Beauty image over the top.

I coloured the Toucan using Stampin’ Blends. Did you know Toucan’s come in all different colours? I researched them on Google and in the end looked up cartoon images for the Toucan. He was fun to colour!

The colours I used were…

poppy Parade
Parakeet Party
Azure Afternoon
Daffodil Delight
Pumpkin Pie
Basic Black

The back ground for this card was coloured using Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Azure Afternoon and Blueberry Bushel inks with a Blending Brush.

I wanted this card to look lush and bright, with lots of layers of different greens creating depth and flowers in bright colours.

After the Live had wrapped up I decided to add the Black Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems, as I felt it just need something to finish the flowers…to add a little bit of ‘POP!’

Waves of Inspiration

Published on January 3, 2024January 3, 2024 by Michele Jutrisa

I had a lot of fun creating this card…. The Stamp set I used is by Stampin’ Up! ®, called Waves of Inspiration and the coordinating Waves Dies. It was the back ground I enjoyed making, using only 3 colours Cherry Cobbler, Azure Afternoon and Crushed Curry (not a combination I would have picked) and who would have thought the combination of these colours would come together like this.

With the help of a few other tools –

a mask I created from the Basic Border Dies to create the clouds
some torn paper to create non solid lines of the ripple waves
Blending Brushes in large and small

I used the image below that I found on Google as my Inspiration for the scene. The colour combination came from a card that was sent to me from a friend and it worked really well for what I was trying to recreate.

Inspiration Image

The Wave Dies gives the card a focal image and makes you look beyond to the sun set. Both dies were cut from Basic White Cardstock and I coloured the larger of the two with Azure Afternoon Ink and Blending Brush, leaving some white space. I was going to layer with the white on top but it was a little to stark, so it ended up going under the Azure wave and that really worked well.

The sentiment and birds from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set were stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. To finish the image I added some ‘dottage’ with Wink of Stella and White Craft Ink mixed with Wink of Stella for the water spray from the waves.

Keeping everything simple I mounted my finished card front on a Basic White card.

I LOVE the way this turned out.
