Masked Beauty card – Magic of Masks Blog Hop

Posted on April 17, 2024May 1, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Magic of Masks Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using masks or stencils. I am loving both the Enduring Beauty and new Layers of Beauty stamp sets, dies and masks and couldn’t resist using the new Layers of Beauty bundle to make my masked beauty anniversary card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the masked beauty card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Bright & Beautiful dsp to the 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Basic White card. This was then glued to the Highland Heather card front. I stamped the sentiment onto the card front using Gorgeous Grape ink.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the large floral image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I placed the masks, which are helpfully numbered, one at a time on top of the stamped image. Using Blending Brushes, I added Lemon Lolly to the roses and Highland Heather to the small daisies. Each mask added another layer of colour to the flowers.

The leaves were then inked in with Garden Green ink. I love how the colour and texture builds when you use the masks, so pretty. The inked image was then die cut using the Layers of Beauty Dies. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the sending cheer waterfall card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Berry Burst – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Berry Burst – 4⅛” by 1”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Bright & Beautiful dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Lemon Lime Twist – 2⅝” by 2⅝” x 3
Lemon Lime Twist – 2⅝” by 1⅝”
Lemon Lime Twist – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

The Bright & Beautiful dsp panel was glued to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card and then to the Berry Burst card base. Using a strip of Tear ‘n Tape on each end I added the 4⅛” by 1” strip of Berry Burst to the card front, approximately 1⅛” up from the bottom.

The images, gingerbread man, stocking and present, from the Sending Cheer stamp set were stamped onto the 2 ½” by 2 ½” panels of Basic White card, these were adhered to the 2⅝” by 2⅝” panels of Lemon Lime Twist.

I stamped the holly leaves and berries onto the remaining small panels of Basic White card and glued them to the slightly larger Lemon Lime Twist pieces.

I used a retired punch to punch the tag shape on the longest panel of the 8⅝” by 2¾” piece of Berry Burst card. I threaded a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon through the hole and slipped the strip. The largest stamped panel was the added to the tag punched end.

Using a bone folder, I folded and burnished the scorelines and slipped the panel, tag end first under the strip of Berry Burst card on the card front.

Folding the strip on the 4” score line I glued the loose end to the strip of Berry Burst card which straddled the bottom of the card front. The 4 decorated panels were then added to complete the card.
