I’m sharing a new how-to video showing the masking technique with Stampin’ Up!’s Timeless Tulips stamp set.
I hope you enjoy this quick video I recorded demonstrating how to use a Post It Note and rubber stamps, ink, and paper to create lifelike images for your card making. This technique works with a variety of stamps and images. Be creative and see what you can do.
Here’s the tulip card I demonstrated. See this blog post for details.
Here is another card I created using one of Stampin’ Up!’s 2020 Sale-A-Bration stamp sets, The Gang’s All Meer. It shows how I used a mask with the cactus to give them a real-life appearance.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video. Please let me know if you have questions about this or other techniques!

They include: Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, and Blueberry Bushel. So, if you love these colors and need ink pads, ink refills, card stock, ribbon, Stampin’ Write Markers, Stampin’ Blends, or Designer Series Paper containing these colors, get them now.

Calypso Coral – 4 ¼” x 3 1/8”.
Whisper White – 4 ¼” x 3”, 5 ¼” x 4” (inside)
Instructions:
Dry-emboss Pool Party panel and adhere to the card front.
Use the largest scallop rectangle die to die-cut smaller Whisper White cardstock.
Stamp and punch an umbrella from the DSP. TIP: It is easier to punch the umbrella then, using a self-made template, stamp the umbrella using the Stamparatus.
Position the umbrella on the scallop rectangle and lightly pencil-trace the top outline. (This is to aid with positioning the flower stamps. Be sure to pencil in the outside tips)
Use Early Espresso ink to stamp the two floral images a total of three times, making sure they do not extend past the outer ends of the umbrella. It is ok if some fall over the top line as they will be covered.
Stamp one each of the two floral images onto a scrap of Whisper White. Use Blends to color all the flowers and leaves, as shown. Then, fussy cut the extra images.
Glue the umbrella under the flowers (where the pencil marks are).
Stamp the sentiment in the upper left corner. Glue the umbrella handle, as shown.
Strategically dimensional one (or two) of the extra flower cluster images to cover up any gaps in stamped flowers.
Glue the focal panel to the Calypso Coral panel then dimensional the unit to the center of the card front.
Make a bow and add to the upper right corner with a glue dot.
Finally, add rhinestones to the larger flower centers.
