Stampin’ Up! True Beauty!

Posted on September 22, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a couple of really pretty swaps to share with you created with the True Beauty Bundle!

For this soft & pretty card, Dena Rekow used the True Beauty stamp set with a color combo of So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party on Basic White with a card base of Crumb Cake.

Before she stamped anything, the used an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush to lightly add the stenciled design on diagonally on the right side. Sooo pretty and easy! She also used a sentiment from Cottage Rose, stamped with Tuxedo Black ink, and then used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to flick speckles lightly. She cut both white layers with the Deckled Rectangles Dies for a pretty, torn look without the tearing.

Sue Kempton Miiller also used the True Beauty stamp set, as well as the Organic Beauty dies that make up the True Beauty Bundle. I love the trellis/lattice looking die she used to cut the Basic White layer! She also used a couple of Stitched Rectangle Dies to create the Blackberry Bliss frame. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiment stamp set, cut with a Sentiment Silhouettes die.

The images in the True Beauty set have such a soft, watercolor look. Sue stamped the flower with Polished Pink, the leaves with Old Olive, and cut with Organic Beauty dies. She added a bit of Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Ribbon, then frayed the ends.

This card is a "w" fold!

Stampin’ Up! Abigail Cottage Rose!

Posted on August 31, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the LAST DAY OF SALE-A-BRATION 2022! There won't be another freebie opportunity like SAB until January 2023, so get your orders in today to take advantage of this best sale of the Stampin' Up! year!

Today I have a card to share that I created with the Abigail Rose Suite Collection found on pages 56-57 of the Annual Catalog! I wanted to play around with some of the different prints found in the Abigail Rose Designer Series paper pack and ended up with this pretty little birthday card!

I stamped the main floral image with Early Espresso ink on Crumb Cake card stock, then colored the rose and the leaves with ink pressed into the lids of Blushing Bride and Old Olive ink pads. I used a nearly empty Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush as my paintbrush so the colors also have a subtle hint of shimmer. After coloring I then cut it out with the coordinating Cottage Flowers Die.

I cut a piece of Natural Finish 7/8" Ribbon about 6 inches long, then pulled a few threads from the center of the ribbon to softly gather it. When I had it gathered to the approximately 4" length I needed I then adhered to the card front with Stampin' Seal. I adhered the die-cut floral image with Stampin' Dimensionals so it would rest over the ribbon gathers.

I stamped the birthday greeting, from Cottage Rose, with Early Espresso ink on a scrap of Crumb Cake, then used a label die from the Sending Dies set to cut it out. I adhered it to the card with dimensionals.

I created the pretty background with three strips of 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" Abigail Rose Designer Paper adhered to a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Basic White. Before adhering to the Crumb Cake card base I ran it through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die.

I usually stamp my inside sentiment on a layer of Basic White for Very Vanilla, but this time I decided to try the look of stamping on another Neutral, Crumb Cake, and use Basic White behind it for the mat layer.

So what do you think? I'm thinking this card will be my online ordering thank-you gift for September!

Stampin’ Up! Pokemon Birthday For Liam!

Posted on August 23, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is my youngest son's 30th birthday, so I guess I can officially start feeling old! lol! Whether I "feel old" or not, I want to share this Pokemon card I made for my grandson Liam's 10th birthday. Liam is Pokemon crazy right now, along with another grandson, Oakley. They pour over their binders full of Pokemon cards, and were super excited when their Uncle Ben (my 30 year-old baby boy) contributed his vintage Pokemon cards to their collections!

This card won't fit into an envelope, but that was okay because I just had to attach it to his wrapped present!

I started with a standard 4 1/4" x 11" piece of Daffodil Delight card stock, scored and folded at 5 1/2. Then I used my Paper Snips to round the corners for the Pokemon face.

I used the largest leaf die from the Tulips dies to cut both Daffodil Delight an Basic Black to trim and layer together to create the unevenly placed Pokemon ears. I adhered them inside the card with liquid glue.

I used retired circle punches, which will never leave my punch collection to create the eyes and the cheeks. I have the punch sizes listed in the supply list farther down in this post, but don't bother to click on them as they will not take you to that product in my online store because they are retired. I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to hand-draw the nose and mouth. (I googled Pokemon to find an image I could use as my guide)

I stamped the greeting from A Grand Kid with Tuxedo Black ink.

The inside sentiment is also from A Grand Kid.

Click on any of the product images (except the circle punches) to find them in my online store:

A Grand Kid Cling Stamp Set (English)	Tulips Dies	Daffodil Delight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Multipurpose Liquid Glue	Paper Snips	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker	1" (2.5 Cm) Circle Punch	1-1/4" (3.2 Cm) Circle Punch

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday August 16!

Posted on August 16, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! LOTS going on this past weekend! I had my Christmas in July in August Class on Friday night and Saturday afternoon, then Sunday we had our August Birthdays celebration. We have 6 August birthdays (mine is one of them), which is the most we have in any month so far, so it was a big day! School starts for most of us today so they didn't stay to late, but my internet was acting up and I couldn't work on my post until this morning. Then my daughter needed me to babysit her kiddos today, so I didn't get a chance to finish this post until late afternoon. I decided to schedule this post for Tuesday morning. As you can see, my life is very "fluid" right now!

I still have cards to share with you from Christmas in July, but I need to share this next set of swaps with you before I do later this week!

First, Judi Anderson combined the Go-To-Greetings stamp set with Awash in Beauty Designer Paper and the Gingham Embossing Folder. The Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Basic White and a strip of Balmy Blue color combo is so soothing and pleasing, coordinating so well with the font of the "Just a Note" greeting.

In this Flirty Flamingo-based card, Judi Anderson again created a pleasing combo with Merry Merlot, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White, and Awash in Beauty Designer Paper. She stamped the "Thinking of You" with Mossy Meadow.

Cathy Seal used classic black & white with Go-To-Greetings and one of the two Fancy Frames Dies. I'd love to receive a packet of these as a gift, wouldn't you?

Beth Robinson created a fun-fold panel card with another one of the Go-To-Greetings, Lovely Linen Designer Paper and the Lovely & Lasting Bundle of stamps and punch.

This fun-fold has three levels of looks:

A connection between the two side-panels is accomplished with a strip of clear Window Sheet.

The final layer:

Joyce Feraco also used Lovely Linen Designer Paper with the Lovely & Lasting Bundle. She featured the Starry Sky 1/8" Metallic Ribbon to coordinate with the Night of Navy in the paper.

Finally, Sharon Bouck used the Pretty Pop-Ups Dies with Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent for her delicate card. She highlighted the pop-up features with Fresh Freesia ink added with a Blending Brush.

Here are the clickable links for today's pretty cards:

Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set (English)	Awash In Beauty 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper	Lovely & Lasting Bundle (English)

Ruth Bingle punched the leaves and stems from Parakeet Party In Color Glimmer Paper, and the cherries from the same paper pack in Sweet Sorbet!

This card unfolds in a unique way!

Finally, Stephanie Flath created "black" cherries with Blackberry Bliss card stock and ink!

After stamping, she stamped the cherry again with Versamark and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds Again!

Posted on August 3, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is a re-do of a card I shared with you a few weeks ago before the January/June Mini Catalog retired. I wanted to do this card at a stamp camp last month but the designer paper I had stamped on for the front and the inside was sold out and retired so I had to improvise. I'm very happy with what I came up with! View my original card HERE.

To mimic the look of the retired designer paper, I used a blending brush to gently swirl (by starting the swirling motion off the paper) Soft Succulent ink onto my Basic White layer. I did this for both the front and inside layers.

I stamped "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from Artistically Inked with Starry Sky ink BEFORE embossing the layer with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder. Aren't those tiny butterflies cute? They are self-adhesive Brushed Brass Butterflies!

I used the watercolor-look images from Artistically Inked to fill in the detailed line blooms from Happiness Abounds. I stamped the large watercolor image with stamped-off Orchid Oasis, then stamped the detailed line bloom with Starry Sky. I stamped the smaller swirly image with stamped-off Highland Heather ink, then stamped the detailed bloom with Gorgeous Grape. I cut them all out with Blossoming Happiness dies.

I embossed the blooms with the same Painted Posies folder, added touches of Clear Wink of Stella, then adhered with dimensionals. I added the largest Iridescent Rhinestone from the pack to the center of the largest bloom.

I stamped two sentiments from Happiness Abounds on the inside with Starry Sky, and a repeat bloom in the lower left corner.
