Stampin’ Up! Going to the Chapel!

Stampin’ Up! Going to the Chapel!

Hey there! Last Saturday I attended the wedding of a dear friend's daughter from my church. I created this wedding card with the In the City Host set. I used Shimmery White card stock for the base, then added stamped and punched images for a whimsical-but-elegant look!

Stampin_up_in_the_city_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the church from In the City with Crumb Cake ink, then colored with the fine tip of a Blushing Bride marker. I punched with the 1 3/4" Circle punch, then layered it on Blushing Bride punched with the new Starburst punch. I added a Crumb Cake tree punched with the Tree Builder Punch, with blossoms punched from Blushing Bride with the same punch. The tiniest Pearl Basic Jewels adorn the centers.

Stampin_up_in_the_city_carolpaynestamps2

After stamping the greeting with Crumb Cake, I added one more pearl adorned blossom.

Inside I used a sentiment from Special Celebrations. I just love this new set! I know I'm going to be reaching for it a lot this year.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! Once again, every 7 days is time for Sunday Swap Day! yay! This is the last Sunday before the new catalog starts on Thursday, June 1st, so it's my last chance to share with you some really fine swaps with retiring or carrying over products!

Cathy Miller used the retiring Oh So Succulent stamps, Succulent Garden Ribbon, Mint Macaron card stock, and carrying-over Petal Burst folder for her swap:

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_carolpaynestamps1

Next, the lovely-but-anonymous swap was created with the retiring So Detailed Thinlets and So In Love stamps:

Stampin_up_so_in_love_carolpaynestamps1

I love this easel card by Susie Wood using the retiring Special Reason stamp set. The stamps are retiring but the fold is not. I'll be CASEing this fold!

Stampin_up_special_reason_carolpaynestamps1

Ruth Bingle combined the retiring Irresistibly Floral Specialty Paper and Flirty Flamingo 3/8" Ruched Ribbon with the not retiring Sunshine Wishes Thinlets and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper!

Stampin_up_sunshine_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

Rhonda Bassler combined the retiring Lovely Lace and Happy Heart folders and Sweetheart Punch with carrying-over Petal Burst, Seaside, and Softly Falling folders for another easel-fold card I will be CASE-ing with new products soon!

Raedean Shibata Stamped a Blushing Bride Watercolor Wash background before gold heat-embossing a retiring So in Love image and greeting.

I took a picture of this carrying-over Swirly Bird/Swirly Scribbles/Better Together swap at OnStage.

I also took a picture of this Swirly Bird/Swirly Scribbles owl with a retiring Greatest Greetings sentiment.

Finally, my team member Martha Swift created this fun card with retiring Balloon Adventures, So Detailed Thinlets, and Falling Petals folder.

Stampin’ Up! Wood Words for Morgan!

Stampin’ Up! Wood Words for Morgan!

Hey there stamping friends! A little late with my post today, but a post is a post, right?

Last week I created this card to go along with a wedding shower gift. The invitation was unique but pre-printed. I pulled out my new Wood Words stamp set and Pretty Label Punch to create a card that had the same essence:

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps3

Crumb Cake, Tranquil Tide, and white heat embossing!

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps1

After heat embossing the bloom stamp in opposite corners I colored in select flowers and leaves with Watercolor Pencils.

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps5

I used Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Bermuda Bay Watercolor Pencils like crayons. I didn't do any blending or add moisture after coloring.

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps6

For the label greeting I white heat-embossed a image from the upcoming Label Me Pretty on a scrap of Crumb Cake. I had to emboss a second one because I didn't leave enough room on the first one to punch with the curvy Pretty Label Punch.

Stampin_up_label_me_pretty_carolpaynestamps1

After punching with the Pretty Label Punch and stamping a greeting from the new Colorful Seasons set with Tranquil Tide ink, I punched a second Pretty Label from Tranquil Tide card stock and then cut it in half like a "hot dog bun".

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps7

I adhered the two halves to the back side of the stamped label with SNAIL, then added a couple of dimensionals.

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps8

The result: an easy Tranquil Tide "stretched" label to back the greeting!

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps10

I used the Best Badge Punch to make the scallop edge along the side of the card.

Stampin_up_best_badge_scallop_edge_carolpaynestamps1

Inside I added a phrase from Colorful Seasons with Tranquil Tide ink.

Stampin_up_wood_words_carolpaynestamps2

Stampin’ Up! Love Sparkles Wedding!

Stampin’ Up! Love Sparkles Wedding!

Hey there! I'm pretty much recovered from my bout with the flu. A little extra tired and my appetite has not yet fully returned (which could be a goo thing if it waits a few days, lol!) Today's card is actually two versions of the same one using the Love Sparkles stamp set:

Stampin_up_love_sparkles_carolpaynestamps1

Pretty straightforward with Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Softly Falling Textured Impressions Folder, and Blushing Bride Sequin Trim. I stamped all of the hearts and words before embossing with the Softy Falling folder.

Stampin_up_love_sparkles_carolpaynestamps2

I adhered the string of sequins, as well as the individual ones I pulled from the end of the string, with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

For the inside phrase I chose one from Bunch of Blossoms, "today is the perfect day to be happy"!

Stampin’ Up! Falling In Love Dragonflies!

Stampin’ Up! Falling In Love Dragonflies!

Hey there stamping friends! Today I have one more creation with the Dragonfly Dreams Thinlets and then I'm done! Tomorrow's Sunday Swap Day will have a couple of Dragonfly Dreams cards, but after that I will be sharing a different creation theme with you!

Today's card uses the sold out Falling In Love Designer Paper, as well as the retiring Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper and So In Love stamp set.

Stampin_up_so_in_love_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps1

I love this fold. It's so easy but works great to blend the card front with the inside! You start with a standard 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card base, scored and folded at 4 1/4", then score 1 1/4" from one end and fold back. I put dimensionals under the fold to secure to the card front. I carefully peeled the backing from the glimmer paper before cutting with the Detailed Dragonfly thinlets. I adhered them to the front fold with a glue dot under each dragonfly body.

Stampin_up_so_in_love_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps2

I hand-cut the Very Vanilla and Blushing Bride Glimmer banners with Paper Snips. I adhered the greeting banner to the glimmer banner with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Stampin_up_so_in_love_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps3

A very impressive anniversary card!
