Perfect Fall Colors – Masking with Stampin’ Up!®’s Time of Giving Bundle

I’ve been loving my Blending Brushes for creating autumn color and the new Time of Giving stamp set and coordinating Gift Giving Dies are the perfect combination to show off this #simplestamping masking technique. This stamp set is a sleeper – it’s easy to overlook, but I’ve got TWO cards today that will bump this bundle to the top of your Stampin’ Up! Wish List. Be sure to check the link below for supplies!

To create the torn border effect, tear a piece of paper and hold it over your project layer. A large post-it note works perfectly, because you can stick it down and not worry as much about the mask shifting while you’re applying color.

Use Blending Brushes to apply the color (I masked the top and the bottom of this card layer). Colors here were Pale Papaya, Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry. Then stamp the leaves and dots on the card front – all BEFORE removing the mask. When you remove the mask, voila, all the pretty color is revealed with the contrast vs the light background.

Blending Brushes make a great way to treat cardstock BEFORE die cutting, too, as I’ve done on the leaves above. The colors echo perfectly from the background and the blends fit the theme of the card better than a plain cardstock die cut shape.

I love the way the ombre technique works with a mask to highlight the inside of the card, too. And the sweet pumpkin silhouette is a perfect bonus from the Gift Giving Dies. In fact, the pumpkins inspired my second card:

Just add ombre background behind the top panel and cut the pretty snowflake silhouette from the top layer to create a window.

These products go so well together – and there are SO many possibilities for the elements… how about a santa’s sleigh silhouette card? Or ornaments in your favorite colors?

The crisp white card base is a great foil for the deep saturated blues in the background.

Add the blue adhesive backed gems for the perfect accent.
