Stampin’ Up! Tool Focus!

Stampin’ Up! Tool Focus!

Hey there and welcome to the June edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! This month we are focusing on all of the awesome tools Stampin' Up! has for us to use in our card making!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

My favorite tool(s) are the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and dies! I am addicted to them, especially the Stitched Greenery Die right now!

Stampin_up_in_bloom_carolpaynestamps1

I combined the Stitched Greenery Die, In Bloom stamps, Pierced Blooms Dies, and Pansy Petals Designer Paper:

Stampin_up_in_bloom_carolpaynestamps3

I used a color combo of Soft Succulent, Basic White, Pale Papaya, and Evening Evergreen.

Stampin_up_in_bloom_carolpaynestamps5

I used the dies on the inside of the card too, and even the sentiment is from In Bloom, stamped with Evening Evergreen ink!

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Sweet As A Peach!

Stampin’ Up! Stitched Greenery Sweet As A Peach!

Hey there! I played some more with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle yesterday, and also used the Stitched Greenery Die that just came in the mail!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps1

I glanced over the Stitched Greenery Die when I first flipped through the new Annual Catalog, but after seeing a few creations with it, I had to put it on my next order! I LOVE IT!!!

It is a MUST HAVE in everyone's die collections!

I stamped the leaves on Pear Pizzazz card stock with Pear Pizzazz ink, then cut with the coordinating Peach die. I stamped the peaches with Pale Papaya ink (sponged with Calypso Coral ink) on Pale Papaya card stock, also cutting with the coordinating Peach die. The Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon bow looks so beautiful with the vibrant peach and pear colors!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps2

I used one long side of one Scallop Contours die to cut a strip of Basic White.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps5

I adhered it and a 1/4" wide strip of You're A Peach Designer paper to the card front with thin lines of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped the Sweet As A Peach birthday greeting on a 1/2" wide strip of white using Calypso Coral ink. I snipped one end into banner points with my Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_stitched_greenery_carolpaynestamps3

Inside everything is from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet As A Peach!

Hey there! Last time I told you I was moving on to other new stamp bundles. Today's card is created with the Sweet As A Peach Bundle!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_carolpaynestamps1

I love all of the images in this set!

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_carolpaynestamps3

I inked the peaches first with Pale Papaya and then added Calypso Coral to one side of each peach using a Sponge Dauber.

Stampin_up_sweet_as_a_peach_carolpaynestamps9

I stamped the leaves first with Pear Pizzazz, then lined up the tiny notches at the top of each peach with the stems.!

When you do this, you get nicely lined up peaches every time!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Imbedded Embossing!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Imbedded Embossing!

Hey there! Today I have my 16th and final post featuring the Artistically Inked Bundle. After today I will be playing with other stamps, dies, papers, etc., that I have recently ordered from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog!

My card today features Pale Papaya and Polished Pink with the Imbedded Embossing technique:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_sponged_edges_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the large bloom with Pale Papaya ink on Pale Papaya card stock, adding Polished Pink ink over the Pale Papaya ink on the stamp using a Sponge Dauber BEFORE stamping on the card stock. I cut out the large bloom and the smaller ones stamped with Polished Pink on Pale Papaya with Artistic Dies.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_sponged_edges_carolpaynestamps2

Here's an up-close of the Imbedded Embossing. After cutting the intricate Pale Papaya blooms with an Adhesive Sheet on the back using the Artistic Die, I adhered to the Pale Papaya layer using the adhesive sheet. I then ran the entire layer through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder. I then lightly added Polished Pink ink with a Blending Brush.                                                        

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_sponged_edges_carolpaynestamps3

The Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon perfectly compliments the card, as does the Champagne Rhinestones I used for the flower centers.  The greeting is from Tasteful Touches.                                                                                                                                                                                             Stampin_up_artistically_inked_sponged_edges_carolpaynestamps4

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Alcohol Ink Blending!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Alcohol Ink Blending!

Hey there! First, I want to share with you this card I created with the Artistically Inked Bundle (be patient with me, I only have a couple more cards to share with this bundle before I move on to other sets) Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers, and 91% Rubbing Alcohol.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_glitter_ribbon_carolpaynestamps1

After I blended the scribbled Stampin' Blends (colors are listed below) with 91% Rubbing Alcohol dabbed on the vellum with a simple paintbrush, I added it to a layer of white cardstock with a piece of Adhesive Sheet. I cut Basic Black with an Adhesive Sheet on the back using the intricate Artistic Die. I heat-embossed the greeting with white embossing powder and then cut with a Tasteful Labels die. I added a piece of Black 3/8" Glitter Ribbon, wrapping behind the back of the vellum/white layer.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_glitter_ribbon_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I used sentiments from both Artistically Inked and Tasteful Touches. I blended Misty Moonlight ink with a Blending Brush.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_glitter_ribbon_carolpaynestamps3

I learned the Stampin' Blends Alcohol Ink Blending technique from Tina Zinck, a Canadian Stampin' Up! demonstrator. Here's her video showing how to do this technique!
