#SU! This Birthday Piggy Simple-Background

I'm not exactly sure where I first saw this technique, but such a simple technique gives a wonderful interest to the background of the most simple of cards. So, when I was laying with the This Birthday Piggy stamp set and coordinating Playful Piggy Dies (available for a limited time starting September 1st) this technique seemed the perfect one to use.

Make sure to check out my video for how simple this technique is:


I share a few other samples in my video of other cards I created using this fun die set.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake cardstock: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" & scored at 4-1/4" along the 8-1/2" side
Pool Party cardstock: 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" & cut using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
Basic White cardstock: 3" x 2-1/2" to stamp the piggy and butterfly; 4" x 5-1/4"

Products used can be found below, and if you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. Simply click on the images below and you'll be taken directly to my online store to place your order.

#SU! Sending Smiles Abstract Watercoloring

A couple of weeks ago, I attending a virtual watercoloring session. It was refreshing to see old techniques brought to life again for me! The abstract watercoloring technique was one of these, and it inspired the card that follows.


Measurements:

  • Very Vanilla Thick cardstock: 4-1/4" x 11", scored along the 11" side at 5-1/2"
  • Very Vanilla cardstock: (could use more of the thick): 1/2" x 3"
  • Polished Pink cardstock: 3-3/4" x 4-3/4"
  • Mossy Meadow cardstock: 2-5/8" x 4-1/8"; 2" x 3-3/4"
  • Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper: 2-1/2" x 4"
  • Adhesive Sheets: 2" x 3-3/4"
Hope you'll enjoy the step-by-step technique video I put together.



Here are a couple of alternative projects with the same layout. The first simply in a different color combination: Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Garden Green.


The second one, showing the alternative method for doing this fun watercolor technique:
