Stampin’ Up! Hello Ladybug!

Posted on January 5, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share this fun card with you that I created for a swap I participated in last month for J&J Mini Catalog and Sale-a-bration products. My card today uses the Hello Ladybug Bundle and Flowering Fields Designer Paper from the J&J Mini!

After stamping the ladybug wings with Poppy Parade ink on Basic White, I stamped the dots with Tuxedo Black Memento and then added Clear Wink of Stella to give them some shine. You can stamp the ladybug body with black ink, but I saved time by punching the body from Basic Black card stock.

I combined two phrases from Hello Ladybug , "hello" and "my friend" on the same stamp block to create the greeting, and added a ribbon bow with my favorite Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon. I added Matte Black Dots to the Poppy Parade-stamped flowers, also from Hello Ladybug. The Matte Black Dots really pop against this color palette of Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, and Basic Black!

Inside I stamped another Hello Ladybug sentiment, as well as more Poppy Parade blooms.

I used Black Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the wings to the ladybug body, as well as to adhere the body to the card. These dimensionals come in a combo back of both regular-size and mini dimensionals. Black dimensionals are less noticeable with you are using darker card stocks.

This card was really easy and fun to make! I didn't even get tired of making the 21 I needed for my swap!

Stampin’ Up! Sharing Sunshine!

Posted on January 3, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Most of the stamping I have been doing since Christmas has involved mostly new products from the January/June 2022 Mini Catalog that couldn't be ordered until tomorrow, January 4th, which is one reason I decided to take a little break from posting here on the blog. However, I did create one card with a current stamp set, Sharing Sunshine, that I only used a few new products on, so I think it will be o.k. to share it with you today!

After stamping the sun with Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody ink, I added the smily face with Misty Moonlight ink. I cut the clouds with dies from the new Rainbow of Happiness Bundle.

"Happy Birthday" is from the Sharing Sunshine set found on page 39 of the Annual Catalog, stamped with Misty Moonlight as well. After adding a piece of 3/8" Denim Ribbon over the line where the stamped Basic White layer meets the rainbow-hued piece of Sunshine & Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Paper, I added a Crushed Curry Playing With Patterns Resin Dot.

Inside I used a sentiment from Rainbow of Happiness, and stamped the sun-ray image along the bottom with Mango Melody ink. I added a scrap of Sunshine & Rainbows designer along the bottom just to bring it all together.

Supplies used:

Sharing Sunshine Photopolymer Stamp Set [155631] $16.00	Misty Moonlight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [153081] $8.75	Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad [153118] $7.50
Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad [147094] $7.50	Mango Melody Classic Stampin' Pad [147093] $7.50	Playing With Patterns Resin Dots [152467] $8.00
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [149653] $120.00

Supplies you can order tomorrow from the January/June 2022 Mini Catalog:

Rainbow of Happiness Bundle #157727 $44.00

3/8" Denim Ribbon #149590 $7.00

Sunshine & Rainbows 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper #158126 (FREE Sale-a-bration Choice with a $50 order)

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Center Easel-fold!

Posted on December 18, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is another birthday card I created for another son who had a birthday in November. I used the same center easel-fold I used previously, but I used an Early Espresso/Very Vanilla color combo and the Biggest Wish photopolymer stamp set.

I used my Stamparatus to stamp the sentiments from Biggest Wish with Early Espresso ink several times (I think at least 4 times for each word). I stamped it on the Cork Specialty paper that is retiring from the Holiday Mini Catalog but has not yet sold out (at least it hadn't when I checked before writing this blog post). I added a Bumblebee Trinket with a Mini Glue Dot for an added special touch.

I stamped the largest circle image from Watercolor Shapes with Crumb Cake ink on the Very Vanilla inside layer before stamping a sentiment from Sunny Sentiments. I added a 1/2" wide strip of Early Espresso card stock with a row of Stampin' Dimensionals to create the "easel stop".

Stampin’ Up! Winter Wishes!

Posted on December 14, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the December edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Our theme this month is "Winter Wishes", anything with a winter theme! I'm excited to see what everyone creates!

I needed a birthday card anyway for one of my sons, so I decided to use this theme to create his card and get two things done at once! I used the Beauty of Friendship Bundle of stamps and dies with sentiments from the Handsomely Suited stamp set to create this center-easel card.

This is a fun, fast, and simple card to make!

Both tree images are in the Beauty of Friendship stamp set, so it was quick to stamp the "forest". I used the phrase, "you're the best" from Handsomely Suited, cut with one of the Beautiful Trees dies to create the easel "stop". I also added a few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems for some sparkle.

To expand on the "winter" theme for the blog hop I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the trees for some subtle shimmer.

After I created this card I also created another one for my another birthday boy. I will share it with you next time!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance CASEing Myself!

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a card that I CASE'd (Copy And Selectively Edit) from myself! I was stamping up some leftover class kits when I decided to change the card a bit using most of the original supplies. I liked it so well I knew I needed to share it with you!

My original card on the left used the Butterfly Brilliance bundle of stamps and dies, Peaceful Moments and Dragonfly Garden stamps, and the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks with both White Craft and Balmy Blue Ink.

I kept the same basic layout and stamps for my CASE, but instead of using the mask and a Blending Brush, I stamped part of the Butterfly Brilliance background image with White Craft ink, then heat embossed with White Powder.

I added Elegant Gems to the butterfly bodies just like I did in the original.

Since I will be packaging most of these up to offer at my next Craft Fair, I decided to leave the inside free of any sentiment so they can be used for multiple occasions.

Supplies to order to make both or either card:
