Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Wonder Washi Sunburst Card!

Posted on March 7, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there. I saved one more set of washi tape cards to show you today. This set has generally the same layout but I used the Watercolor Wonder Washi Tape from the Occasions Catalog:

These two cards are almost split-negatives of each other! One on Whisper White, one of Basic Black. I ran both through the Chevron Textured Impressions Folder.
The greeting is from Starburst Sayings, gold-embossed and cut with a Starburst Framelit Die. I layerd both on a Brushed Gold circle cut with a Circles Collection Framelit Die.

Inside I stamped sentiments from Happy Watercolor and Express Yourself Hostess above with Gold Encore Metallic ink. I used the same ink for the sentiment from Simply Sketched Hostess below.

Funny thing about the title "Watercolor Wonder" Washi Tape. Where is the watercolor? It's gold! lol!

That's all for now. Tomorrow I have a card for you using the Chevron Border punch to create a lattice look, so come back and see me!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Baby We’ve Grown for the Boys!

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's post is a continuation from yesterday's using "Baby, We've Grown" from the Occasions Catalog, this time for a boy!

Circle Card Thinlet Die again, with Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, and Whisper White for my colors. Texture was added with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Folder.

On the "flip" side is another stamp from "Baby We've Grown", colored with my Blender Pen and ink from my Soft Sky inkpad. I added another "baby" Envelope Punch Board envelope to insert a gift card.

Here's the bunny up close so you could see how I watercolored him with Smoky Slate ink and my Blender Pen. I added some darker lines of Smoky Slate along the edges to give him some shadows. Even though I am not very experienced at watercolor, this stamp made adding the shading easy!

I stamped the bow tie area of the bunny on a bit of Soft Sky Designer Paper, then fussy-cut with Paper Snips. I laid the bow tie on my Silicone Craft Mat before adding a bit of SNAIL to it. The SNAIL stuck just to the paper but not to the mat or anything else! yay!

The "cute boy" words from the little boy shoes in the set. I used a Basic Gray Stampin' Write marker to only ink the words before stamping on Soft Sky carstock. One of the punches from the Little Labels Punch Pack punched it out perfectly!

That's all for now. I've been working on several fun new projects you will be seeing soon.Tomorrow is my final "Baby We've Grown" card for now, this time with the little owl family stamp, so come back to see me on Wednesday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Baby We’ve Grown in Blushing Bride and Baked Brown Sugar!

Posted on March 2, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Well, the weatherman was right again wasn't he? No church today, no family, just a quiet day at home stamping. I've been having a blast playing with my stamps, punches, and Big Shot, yes I have!

My effort to show you today uses the adorable Occasions Catalog set, Baby We've Grown. I chose Baked Brown Sugar for my Circle Card Thinlet Die base, and then used Blushing Bride and Whisper White for added girly-ness!

I used patterns from the Subtles and Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stacks, and the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder on the front Blushing Bride panel.

I needed a smaller envelope than any of the dimensions on the Envelope Punch Board listed, so I created my own with a 4" x 4" square of Baked Brown Sugar Designer Paper, then punched and scored at 2" on all four sides. It turned out perfect to slide in the giftcard! The sentiment on the "flip" side of the circle is also from Baby We've Grown and cuts out perfectly with the smallest Sunburst Framelits Die, then layered on a 1 1/4" Scallop Circle of Blushing Bride.

In a close-up of the focal image you can see I did a little watercoloring with a Blender Pen and ink I pressed into the lid of the inkpad. I colored as lightly as I could because Whisper White cardstock can start "pilling up" if it gets rubbed while damp too much.
I pieced the scallops just a tiny bit with my Paper-Piercing Tool, and then added the tiniest of tiny Pearls Basic Jewels to the buckles of these sweet little baby patent leathers!

That's all for now! I have a boy version of this card to share with you tomorrow, so come back and see me, ok? Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As I am typing this a big "winter storm" is supposed to be on its' way: sleet, snow, freezing rain, and ice. It hasn't started yet, but everyone has "battened down the hatches" in readiness!

I received a new batch of monthly swaps this week, so I have a treat for all of us today, swaps using freebies from the Sale-a-bration brochure! Let's get started!

First, a scalloped tag topper-closure card from Barb Dykhouse. Barb used Sweet Sorbet Sale-a-bration paper, Petal Parade Sale-a-bration stamps, the Blossom Punch, and Gold Baker's Twine!

Kelly Acheson used the See Ya Later Sale-a-bration stamp set with the Arrows Textured Impressions Folder, Banners Framelits, Owl Builder Punch heart, and the Petite Pennants Builder Punch to create a miniature version of the alligator I made for Cohen's birthday card! Just like I did, Kelly used the Sale-a-bration Decorative Dots Folder to emboss the alligator snout!
Jackie Ordway used Sweet Sorbet SAB designer paper and the Petal Parade stamp set for her creation!

Dawm Klein united Sweet Sorbet paper, Decorative Dots folder, Floral Frames Framelit Dies, Starburst Sayings stamps, Gorgeous Grunge stamps, 1" Circle Punch, Pansy Punch, and the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack for her stunning creation!

Last but definitely not least, Ruth Bingle used the Petal Parade SAB stamp set with the Triple Time stamping technique to create this easy-but-impressive card! The greeting is from Sassy Salutations and the colors are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz, Daffodil Delight, & Whisper White.

I've been waiting to show you this card for several days. My grandson, Cohen, turned 6 on February 7th. This is the card I made to go with his presents, but I haven't been able to give it to him because we have not had his family party yet! I know he doesn't read my blog, and although we hope to have his party in a few WEEKS, I'm going to share it with you now just because I can't wait any longer!

I have been saying the phrase, "See ya later, alligator" to Cohen since he was just a little guy, and now he says, "After while, crocodile" back to me, so I just had to make him this card with the phrase from the free SAB set, See Ya Later!

This is defintely a one-of-a-kind card, but Cohen is worth it!

Stampin’ Up! Papillon Potpourri Lattice Spring Card!

Posted on February 24, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Thought it was time for a really spring-y card! I received a version of this card as a swap last spring, and I've been "saving" it for a workshop card whenever the right group needed it. A workshop I was scheduled to do has had to be postponed, so I thought I would share this to give us a bit of spring after this long, long, loooong winter:

It'a actually a pretty easy card – the Lattice Bigz Die and the Papillon Potpourri stamps & Bitty Butterfly punch make it easy!

The inside of the card I haven't been saving because I used the "You're Lovely" Sale-a-bration set, which didn't even exist last spring when this card was first created! I thought this open-label stamp was perfect to use this phrase from Petite Pairs. I was originally thinking it would be a birthday card, but it would also make a great "thank-you" or "thinking of you" card!

Here's your supply list to make this card. Click on any highlighted item to find everything on the list in my ONLINE STORE:

Whisper White 8 1/2" x 11 cardstock #100730
