Stampin' Up! Beauty of Frienship

 I love this new 'Beauty of Friendship' (tree) stamp set!
This is another awesome suite in the Annual Catalog.
It is called the Beauty of the Earth Suite on pages 10-11.
 I think that this card would be great for many different occasions 
by just changing the words.

This cool woodgrain DSP is in the coordinating Beauty of the Earth DSP pack.
 
This 'Beauty of Friendship' pairs up perfectly with the Stamparatus
to make it super fast & easy to stamp the tree.

Did you notice the shading in the tree?
It looks like it has been stamped multiple times to get this look.
But it has not.....it was just stamped once.
As this stamp is a dis'ink'tive stamp & automatically has the shading made
directly into the stamp!
THIS IS JUST SO COOL!!!!

Here are the supplies & the measurements.

card stock:
  • Evening Evergreen- 4 1/4 x 11'- score at 5 1/2"- fold in half for card base

Stampin' Up! Color & Contour Bundle

 Check out this card!
I just added a splash of color here, using the Color & Contour Bundle, 
my Blending Brushes & the 5 NEW In Colors!
 
Oh my gosh!
I just LOVE the NEW Blending Brushes.
They are totally amazing!
They are so fun & easy to use!

NOTE:  When blending more than one color- notice in the photo above how I used one strip of Basic White card stock to make "my lines", but I didn't mix into the different colors.  I used a different spot for each one of them, as you don't want to mix the colors or they will bled & get pulled onto your working area & make it muddy looking.
 
How do you clean the Blending Brushes?
You can just rub them onto your scratch paper until they don't leave any color.
OR you can rinse them out under water, push out the excess water & let dry over night!
Yes- you could have a brush for every color you use.
I do not do that.  I do rinse mine out after each use.
I have 6 Blending Brushes that I can work with when creating.
 I added the colors in this order-
  1. Fresh Freesia
  2. Polished Pink
  3. Soft Succulent
  4. Pale Papaya
  5. Evening Evergreen
  6. Fresh Freesia
 I made this into a fun z fold card.
This is what it look like standing up!
Do you ever get in a rut & don't know what to create?
You can always use the awesome ideas in the catalogs!
 
As the inspiration for my card today came right from the 
NEW 2021-2022 Annual Catalog!
Check out the photo of a card similar to mine on page 98!
As this is my version of that card.
 
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Color & Contour'
card stock:
  • Fresh Freesia- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"- fold in a "z" for card base
