Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Adorning Designs Decorative Mask Happy Hanukkah card

I've started making some seasonal cards and in keeping with my mask theme this month, I've used the snowflake mask from the Stampin' Up! Adorning Designs Decorative masks set and simply inked some snowflakes onto a Balmy Blue card front.

The card also features the large Wonderful Snowflake embellishments and I added some smaller snowflakes from the So Many Snowflakes die set and metallic mesh ribbon too.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Delicate Bauble & embossing paste masked Christmas card

I've started making some Christmas cards and keeping with my mask theme this month, I've used one of the Stampin' Up! Adorning Designs Decorative masks and embossing paste to create this Christmas card.

It also features one of the dies from the Delicate Bauble die set and a diecut border in silver foil from the Basic Borders die set too.

Tip: If your embossing paste has started to harden, just add a little bit of water as needed and stir to soften again.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked mask card with Stitched Greenery

Last week I shared a card where I had used a diecut as a mask from the Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle.  I felt the colouring on the mask was too pretty to waste and created a second card with the 'positive' mask image.

I added the inked mask to an Evening Evergreen coloured card front upon which I had used the Stitched Greenery die to add a leafy stitched background.

Here are both cards side by side.  Which do you prefer, the white negative image card or green positive mask card? 

Tip:  So if you don't have the right plastic mask, use one of your dies instead to create what you need.The products used are currently available and can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.

Angela's PaperArts: Stampin' Up! Artistically Inked mask card

I've been doing more masking and ink blending again using a diecut as my mask and featuring the Artistically Inked stamp set & co-ordinating dies bundle.

I used the beautiful floral spray diecut from the Artistic dies set which is part of the Artisically Inked bundle used on this card as my mask and added ink using my Stampin' Up! Blending Brushes.

After adding ink

Once I removed the mask I was left with the negative image which I turned into a birthday card.  I could have left the mask on the card, but I'll share with you next time how I used it to create another card - I basically got two cards out of the one technique using both the positive and negative images.

Angela's PaperArts: Happy World Cardmaking Day - Stampin Up Angels of Peace bauble

Happy World Card Making Day.  Are you crafting today?

I enjoy ink blending and using masks so thought I'd feature a card using these techniques today.  Here's the finished card.

I used one of the Stampin' Up! Delicate Bauble dies as a mask, my Stampin' Up! inks & Blending Brushes to create the bauble background.  

The holly and poinsettia are from the Poinsetta Dies set and the stamped images are from the Angels of Peace stamp set.

I layered the image over the gorgeous Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Tip:  So if you don't have the right plastic mask, use one of your dies instead to create what you need.  The products used are currently available and can be purchased from my online store if you live in Australia.
