Today’s video is focusing on the Waves of the Ocean Collection of products. It is so gorgeous.
I have had lots of fun creating with these. In the video I share even more than 5 ways. I have created even more than that too… I will share them with you very soon.
Check the video now. (If you receive this update by email you will need to head to the Blog post directly as the video doesn’t usually show. Or it is now on Youtube too.

Wednesday’s WOW! #134 – How to Layer and sponge with the Masks.
There are some great masks available especially these gorgeous Butterflies and Flowers Masks. But how do you use them to get the best results? Check the video below.
This is the finished card that was shown in the video. How pretty is it??
There are a number of different masks you could work with. See them all -> HERE.
Here is another sample with the masks.
Have you tried the masks? I would love to know how you have used them.
Sharing a card from my last class with you. Everyone loved it and I thought you might like it too.
This is a Side Stepper Fold card. We used the Hello Ladybug stamps and punch. I always love seeing yellow ladybugs. We used the Heart and Home Designer Series Paper with it.
I have made several of these in the past. I shared the template and instructions way back and dug up the post to share it with you again.
See how to create your own Side Stepper card -> HERE. It was some time ago so I do apologise for the quality of the template. The instructions in that post are for metric but check at the top of the post there is a link for imperial measurements.
Have fun creating one.

Wednesday’s WOW! #133 – How to Layer the Daffodil Dies.
You might have seen the Daffodil Dies in the Mini Catalogue. Now I will admit when I see dies like this I get overwhelmed of how to put them together. I came across these layering ideas shared from Stampin’ Up! I thought it might help you.
That makes it so much easier to see them visually like this. I hope that helps you like it did me.
These are the Daffodil Dies.

Wednesday’s WOW! #132 – You can create a cool background with a detailed border die. What a great way to extend your dies. It does take a little time and is a little fiddly but the effect is so cool.
You can see the effect in this card below. (This card is created by Stampin’ Up! artists). Also note the rainboots have been stamped in reverse stamping which I am not going to address in this post today.
See the white background. This is actually created by the thin diamond strip die from the Rainboots Dies shown below.
How do you create such a cool background effect?
NOTE: This particular sample has been diecut just in white and then white card has been coloured with the Blending Brushes and inkpads.
Here is a simpler way.
You will diecut several of these dies out for the rows on the card. Firstly in white card. 5 was used on this card but check for the card you are creating. Then diecut the strip again in other colours. You can use individual colours for the centres. BUT…
There is an even easier effect – Diecut the detailed die strip in a piece of patterned paper.
Once all the pieces are diecut then assemble the card. Adhere the white diecut strips to a white card base. (You can adhere it straight to your card base but I think assembling it separately gives you some “control”). It might be helpful to lay out all the coloured diecut diamonds separately beside your card. Once you are happy with the layout then adhere each diamond inside the strips. This does take time but how effective is the end result. If you use the adhesive sheets this will also make it easier.
This method is call the Diecut Inlay Technique.
You could try this with any detailed die strip you have. Check them out and see what you can do.
