Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps1

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps2

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps3

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Easter Sunday April 17!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Easter Sunday April 17!

Hey there! I've been MIA for a few days while I work on the pile of memories that have been removed from my attic; sorting into sections for each of my children to go through and decide what they want to keep, throw away, or put in the yard sale. It's a daunting task, and even though we worked on it alllllll week, I still haven't gone through it all (the papers take the longest), and there's still more up there!

I have managed to get it sorted through enough to be able to have Easter Part 1 here today. Most of my kid's families will be here next Sunday to celebrate, but we will be celebrating Resurrection Day today with Kimberly's family.

Today I have juat a few cards to share. Not as many as usual, but hey, you probably are pretty busy today too, aren't you?

First, a card from Janace Charbonneau. She used Catch You Later from the January/June Mini Catalog (available thru June 30th) with Scalloped Contour Dies and retiring Greenery 3D embossing folders.

The inside sentiment is also found in Catch You Later.

Shelly Gruber used the retiring Wild Cats Bundle of stamps and dies with In the Wild Designer Paper and Animal Print Embossing Folder. to create her fun fold card. All of these products are retiring on May 2nd and are currently available to order, unlike many of the other stamp sets and products on the Last Chance Retiring List!

Stampin’ Up! Friends of the Forest!

Stampin’ Up! Friends of the Forest!

Hey there! I finally decided it was time I put the Friends of the Forest stamp set to good use! I tend to buy so many stamp sets that I love from each catalog that it is hard sometimes to get around to playing with them all!

For my card today I combined Friends of the Forest with Watercolor Shapes. I stamped the tree with Pear Pizzazz ink, then instead of coloring each leaf with a Stampin' Write Marker or Stampin' Blend, I inked the long rectangle image from Watercolor Shapes with Pear Pizzazz, stamped-off once, then stamped behind the tree.

Stampin_up_friends_of_the_forest_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the birdie with Balmy Blue ink on the tree branch, then stamped the birdie again with Tuxedo Black ink on a scrap of Basic White. After I colored with a Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend, I cut him out with Paper Snips, darkened his eye with the nib tip of a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, and then used tiny dots of glue to adhere over the stamped birdie.

Stampin_up_friends_of_the_forest_carolpaynestamps3

The deer was much easier than the birdie! After stamping with Crumb Cake ink and coloring with a Light Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend, I darkened the eye, nose, and back markings with the same Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. I didn't have to use paper snips to cut him out, there's a Deer Builder Punch for that!

Stampin_up_friends_of_the_forest_carolpaynestamps4

This sentiment is included in the Friends of the Forest set!

Stampin_up_friends_of_the_forest_carolpaynestamps5

I created the background layer for the front and inside with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder and swiping one side of the folder with Balmy Blue ink before running it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. The inside sentiment is from the Celebrating You stamp set which is carrying-over to the new Annual catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Revised Daisy Garden Cards!

Stampin’ Up! Revised Daisy Garden Cards!

Hey there! With stamp sets from the Last Chance Retiring List flying off the selves I am having to make revisions to some of the cards I'm prepping for my April classes, which is why I am sharing these two cards with you today.

My original post of this Daisy Garden card was created with Sunny Sentiments for the greeting and the Everyday Label Punch to cut it out. Sunny Sentiments is now sold out from the Last Chance Retiring List and the Everyday Label Punch is on the list and may go out any day, so I switched to the Flowering Tulips stamp set and Layering Circle Dies to create these two different themed cards.

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_revised_carolpaynestamps1

I highly recommend the Stamparatus for stamping the large background stamps such as Daisy Garden! The Stamparatus allows for re-inking and repeat stamping in the exact same spot to get a dark even coverage. After stamping Daisy Garden with Pacific Point ink I colored the stems with the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker, then added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower centers. The wink "moves" the Pacific Point ink, giving a darker ink look to the centers in addition to the shimmer. I simply cut the greeting with a Layering Circle die, then cut a larger circle mat with the next-size-larger circle die. I added the white bow with a glue dot and a few rhinestones for sparkle.

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_revised_carolpaynestamps2

This birthday greeting is also from Flowering Tulips. Flowering Tulips is carrying over to the new Annual Catalog!

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_revised_carolpaynestamps3

I've been dying for a reason to use this circular "thank you" stamp included in the Flowering Tulips set! I cut it with the same size Layering Circle dies as on the first card. For this card I colored the leaves and stems with the Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Marker. Which one do you like best?

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_revised_carolpaynestamps4

This "love you so much" sentiment is also found in Flowering Tulips!

Stampin’ Up! Revised Daisy Garden Cards!

Stampin’ Up! Revised Daisy Garden Cards!

Hey there! With stamp sets from the Last Chance Retiring List flying off the selves I am having to make revisions to some of the cards I'm prepping for my April classes, which is why I am sharing these two cards with you today.

My original post of this Daisy Garden card was created with Sunny Sentiments for the greeting and the Everyday Label Punch to cut it out. Sunny Sentiments is now sold out from the Last Chance Retiring List and the Everyday Label Punch is on the list and may go out any day, so I switched to the Flowering Tulips stamp set and Layering Circle Dies to create these two different themed cards.

I highly recommend the Stamparatus for stamping the large background stamps such as Daisy Garden! The Stamparatus allows for re-inking and repeat stamping in the exact same spot to get a dark even coverage. After stamping Daisy Garden with Pacific Point ink I colored the stems with the Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker, then added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower centers. The wink "moves" the Pacific Point ink, giving a darker ink look to the centers in addition to the shimmer. I simply cut the greeting with a Layering Circle die, then cut a larger circle mat with the next-size-larger circle die. I added the white bow with a glue dot and a few rhinestones for sparkle.

This birthday greeting is also from Flowering Tulips. Flowering Tulips is carrying over to the new Annual Catalog!

I've been dying for a reason to use this circular "thank you" stamp included in the Flowering Tulips set! I cut it with the same size Layering Circle dies as on the first card. For this card I colored the leaves and stems with the Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends Marker. Which one do you like best?

This "love you so much" sentiment is also found in Flowering Tulips!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful!

Stampin’ Up! Hello Beautiful!

Hey there! Today I have a fun card to share that I CASED from Australian Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Gail Ellis. I found her card on Pinterest, and fell so in love with it that I pretty much copied it exactly the way she made it!

We used the Hello Beautiful Bundle with retiring Hand-Penned Designer Paper, Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder, and Genial Gems!

To stamp the greeting in the small hexagon opening, I traced the shape lightly with a pencil before stamping the phrase from Hello Beautiful. After stamping I erased the pencil lines.

After prepping the front layer, I used a LOT of dimensionals to keep the area around the greeting from collapsing.

I tied a tiny bow with Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon and secured with a glue dot. I added a sprinkle of Genial Gems around the card front for some sparkle.

I adhered the designer paper and Basic White hexagons with liquid glue, trimming the excess from the edge of the layer with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_hello_beautiful_carolpaynestamps3

I used a smaller pair of hexagons to cut more designer paper for the inside to complement the sentiment I stamped from Hello Beautiful.

I glued some of the hexagons over the card fold and then closed the card so the entire design will be visible when you open it.
