My first attempts at using Pigment Sprinkles (149663) was a learning experience. Pigment Sprinkles are a new product in the 2019-2020 Annual catalog found on page 179. They are watercolor crystals in some of Stampin’ Up!’s signature colors and are HIGHLY concentrated. They come in a set of 6 colors, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight,Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape, Mango Melody, and Melon Mambo. The bottles have a screw-on lid and a plastic insert with three holes that are covered with a hinged closure. Mix these crystals with water to make color washes.
I was going for a light blue wash for a sky and a green wash for grass. My first try using Pigment Sprinkles resulted in the green being OK but…oh my…did I ever get too much Bermuda Bay! I punched out a piece of blue painter’s tape to make a circle mask for the sun. That is why the white spot in my ‘sky’.
My second try using pigment sprinkles was a little better as far as intensity of color was concerned. Can you say…green haze over everything? š
On my third try using pigment sprinkles, I put just one tiny clump of Bermuda Bay crystals, spritzed just a little water on the clump and then used an aqua painter to spread the color around. I added another tiny speck of crystals to another spot until I got good coverage. I also added a touch of the Bermuda Bay sprinkles to the Granny Apple sprinkles to change the color of the grass. A tiny touch of Daffodil Delight sprinkles colored the sun after removing the painter’s tape mask. This is what I was going for. I love the final card!
So my advice to you is to get these Pigment Sprinkles and play around with them. They are easy to mix to get other shades and colors. Be sure to use watercolor paper or Shimmery White cardstock that will hold up under use of water. Most importantly, add just a touch of sprinkles at first and add more if needed.

Here is another Peekaboo slider card. This time I used the stunning Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series Paper (149478) we received at OnStage this spring. The designs on this paper lend themselves to cutting out images from them. Unfortunately, there are no dies to match so you have to hand cut the images. Check out this wonderful paper.
Here is the inside of this Mosaic Mood Peekaboo Slider Card. The dsp on the inside is the reverse side of the dsp on the front. I cut the roses out of another design of this Mosaic Mood designer series paper.
I have one more peekaboo slider card up to my sleeve. I’ll post it later this week. Then I promise I will move on to other things. Thanks for stopping by. I’d love to have you leave a comment so I know you have been here.
Here is the second Peekaboo Slide Card I have created. (if you missed it, my first card can be seen here.) In this sample, I used the beautiful Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (149500) and the coordinating Path of Petals stamp set (149283) to make a sympathy card for a friend who recently lost her husband.
Check out the inside of this second peekaboo slide card:
If I had planned ahead, I might have oriented the card with the fold at the top instead of the side so the verse would fit inside the window. Since I didn’t, I slid in a bouquet of flowers and put the verse on a label. The dsp is the reverse side of the pattern I used on the front of this second peekaboo slide card.
To order the supplies I used for this card, click on the images below. Not shown are the Layering Oval Dies which are not available at the moment and the cheerful yellow retired ribbon.
Thanks for stopping by to visit. I urge you to get a cup of tea or coffee or maybe a glass of wine depending on the time of day and browse through my blog. I’ll be sharing another peekaboo slide card later this week so come back to visit soon. I’d love to have you leave a comment below so I know you have been here.
I had such fun making this darling Over the Moon Peekaboo Slider Card! It is my sort-of CASE of Cindy Brumbaugh”s Peekaboo Slider Card using the Over the Moon stamp set (149331) found on page 32 in the new 2018-2020 Annual Catalog. I followed her video with a few variations. Since I don’t have the retired Hardwood background stamp any longer I used the Pinewood Planks embossing folder for the walls of the barn. I also decided to have a square window instead of a round one.
These silly cows in the Over the Moon stamp set make me smile. I will be using them often. Just look at the cute sayings that come with the set!
While the front of this peekaboo slider card is darling, but the real surprise is when you open the card! Look at what appears.
The image of the cow in the window disappears and the greeting slides into the window. This is so cool!
This card style has been used to create a wide variety of cards and is such fun. It looks complicated but once you have done it, making more cards like it is a piece of cake. I am going to make a series of posts using this style card so check back often.
This Sunday I am teaching a class on cards that move. I’ll be teaching how to make a slider card using the Sailing Home Bundle (149457), a wiper card using the Daisy Lane bundle (151118), and a shaker card using the Petal Labels Dies (149635) and Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper (149500). The class fee is $25 and you need to RSVP today to get a seat. I am also offering the tutorials for this class for $5 per card. me if you would like the tutorials.

I love this Beautiful You Graduation card! I got the idea from a Pinterest post by Sharon Armstrong who had also seen it on Pinterest. One of our granddaughters graduates from Ballard High School in Seattle tomorrow and I needed to make her a card. I love the freedom expressed by the lady in the image and imagine Chloe feels the same way. It is a tradition to write the name of the college you will be attending on the graduation cap so Chloe’s says WSU for Washington State University.
The measurements for this Beautiful You Graduation card are as follows: -Real Red Cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ for card base and 3/8″ x 3/8″ piece for graduation hat – Basic Black Cardstock 5 1/2″ x 4″ – Whisper White Cardstock 5″ x 3 3/4″
The image of this Beautiful You Card was stamped with Memento Ink and is colored with Real Red and Light Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends.

I have been having fun with the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley. I am a sucker for things shiny and gold and the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley is filled with shiny and gold accents! Here is one of the cards I have created with this medley.
Details of the Fun with Everything Is Rosy Product Medley Card
The card base is one of the new 2019 – 2021 In Colors, Rococo Rose cardstock (150882 – available June 4) cut to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ . I cut a 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ strip of the navy with rose gold swirls pattern from the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley specialty designer series paper stack and added it to the bottom of the card front.
On of the things I really like about the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley are the rose gold foil sheets…you get 8 of them 6″ x 6″. I used one of the dies from this medley to cut the leafy branches. To get a mirror image of the die-cut, I cut one of them from the back side of the foil sheet.
The greeting for this card comes from a retiring stamp set, Strong & Beautiful (148732) that is in the Occasions catalog. I stamped it on Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink and cut it out with one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies (148551). I adhered it to the cardfront and then used one of the retired Multipurpose adhesive sheets to adhere the leafy branches over the label.
