Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink Hummingbird Pop-Up Fun Fold!

Stampin’ Up! A Touch of Ink Hummingbird Pop-Up Fun Fold!

Hey there! Today I have another card created with the Sale-a-bration (choose free with a $100 order) stamp set, A Touch of Ink. This set is so pretty as well as versatile!

My card today is a pop-up fun fold with a Granny Apple Green/Gorgeous Grape color combo:

IMG_1434 (2)

I stamped the hummingbird with Tuxedo Black ink, then added stamped-off Gorgeous Grape with the coordinating stamp. I used a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to add Granny Apple Green ink refill for pops of color and shine. The double bow is tied with Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Sheer Ribbon.  I tied ribbon around the card flap into a knot, leaving the tails long. Next I tied two 10" lengths of ribbon into a bow, tying the ribbon tails around the bow's knot. After a little adjustment and a glue dot under the knot it was perfect!

I love the Pastel Pearls!

I opted for a sentiment from So Sentimental on the inside:

Dimensions:

Card base: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2", scored at 3", 7 1/4"

Oh So Ombre front: 2 3/4" x 4"

Granny Apple Green for pop-up: 2" x 3"

Gorgeous Grape focal image mat: 2" x 3"

Basic White focal image: 2" x 3"   inside layer: 4" x 3 5/8"

Ribbon: about 32 inches

Stampin’ Up! Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder Card with New Blending Brushes!

Stampin’ Up! Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder Card with New Blending Brushes!

Hey there! While scrolling back through the past couple of weeks of posts I've realized I missed posting this card I created along with the Garden Wishes cards I shared with you HERE. So without further delay, here's a card created with the Dandelion 3D embossing folder, Curvy Dies, Garden Wishes, and the new Blending Brushes!

Stampin_up_garden_wishes_carolpaynestamps11 (2)

This is a better view of the area embossed with the Dandelions 3D Embossing folder. After embossing I used one of the  new Blending Brushes to add Bumblebee ink to the raised areas. These brushes are absolutely wonderful! You can get as heavy or as light of ink coverage as you want and when you are done you simply rinse the brush with cold water, pat it dry with a clean towel, and it's ready to use again in another color! I also added color to the edges of the Basic White layer with the same Blending Brush.

Stampin_up_garden_wishes_carolpaynestamps12 (2)

I colored white Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon with a Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend to tie in a bow. I added a single Opal Round to the bottom corner to finish it all off.

Stampin’ Up! Pattern Play Shaker Card #2!

Stampin’ Up! Pattern Play Shaker Card #2!

Hey there! I made another version of Magenta Madness Pattern Play card I shared with you HERE. Today's card has the same layout as those but I used a different print from the Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper pack. I cut the frame around the shaker with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

Stampin_up_pattern_play_carolpaynestamps1

This one would be a good one for a masculine birthday. I used more of the Sequins For Everything, which are still available from the Holiday Catalog see the supply list below) to put inside the Clear Medium Envelope I used to create the "shaker".

I stamped the "CUE THE Confetti" greeting with  Versamark then embossed with white powder and my heat tool.

Stampin_up_pattern_play_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used another sentiment from Pattern Play, stamped with Night of Navy ink. The sparkles are stamped with Granny Apple Green. I added a 1/2" narrow strip of the same Artistry Blooms paper to coordinate the inside with the front.

Stampin_up_pattern_play_carolpaynestamps4

Dimensions:

Bermuda Bay base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" (landscape)

Night of Navy frame: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Artistry Blooms layer: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"  inside strip: 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Stampin’ Up! So Much Love Slim-Line!

Hey there! Today I have another slim-line card I created for a friend's birthday this past week. She is a papercrafter and is really into slim-line cards right now, so I couldn't resist making one especially for her!

Stampin_up_so_much_love_carolpaynestamps2

I combined the floral image from So Much Love,

Stampin_up_so_much_love_carolpaynestamps3

with a greeting from So Sentimental cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die:

Stampin_up_so_much_love_carolpaynestamps5

I tied a double bow with Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon to pull it all together. I tied a bow then tied the ends of the ribbon wrapped and tied around the card around the bow to adhere. I added a glue dot under the knot to secure. I added a single Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone to coordinate with the Pretty Peacock ink.

Stampin_up_so_much_love_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I used another So Sentimental phrase, flanked by more blooms.

Stampin_up_so_much_love_carolpaynestamps6

Slim-line card dimensions:

Pool Party base: 8" x 9", scored lengthwise at 4"

Pretty Peacock layer: 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" – need two

Pool Party focal image layer: 8 3/8" x 3 3/8"

Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap for Jaxon!

Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap for Jaxon!

Hey there! Did you get a chance to check out the new catalogs yet? If you haven't, click on the links on the sidebar to check them out!

Today's card was created for my grandson Jaxon's 9th birthday. His birthday is December 26th, but with postponing our family Christmas  we had to celebrate his birthday along with our family Christmas on New Year's Day. We compressed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Jaxon's birthday all into one day! It was exhausting but fun!

I used the new Oh Snap stamp set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog to create Jaxon's card:

Stampin_up_oh_snap_carolpaynestamps1

This set has so many cute images and words. I started with this "oh snap!" phrase,

Stampin_up_oh_snap_carolpaynestamps2

which then coordinated with the "it's your birthday!" I colored the crocodile with my Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

Stampin_up_oh_snap_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used the same crocodile but paired it with more sentiments from the set.

Stampin_up_oh_snap_carolpaynestamps6

Jaxon enjoyed his card much like any other 9 year-old would; he was more interested in the gift! But that's O.K. I don't need accolades from my grandchildren, I just want them to know how special they are to me. It's fun to hear the other ones saying "oooh, this card is from Grammie". I think everyone else enjoys the card as much or more than the birthday boy!

Here's a supply list for today:

Stampin’ Up! Snailed It to Kick Off the New Mini Catalog!

Hey there! Today's the day! The first day you can order from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and earn free Sale-a-bration goodies with your order too!

I know the P.O. has been slow this year getting the catalogs into your hands, so here are the links to the catalogs. You will also find the links embedded in the catalog graphics in my side bar.

https://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Promotions/2021/SAB/2021_SAB_US.pdf

To start off the new catalog right today, I'm sharing a "slim-line" card I created with the new Snailed It stamp set and dies (bundled) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps1

I paired Snailed It with sentiments from the Sale-a-bration $50 spend stamp set, Approaching Perfection. I cut the layers with Hippo & More Dies, then added a couple of Resin Hearts from the Snailed Mail Suite.

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps2

I tied three strands of Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack into a bow and then adhered with  a glue dot.

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps3

I used Snail Die to cut this little fellow directly from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. I added another Resin Heart to the center of the shell.

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped images from Snailed It and colored with Stampin' Blends.

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps4
I love this sentiment from Approaching Perfection!

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps6

I also created a custom envelope for this slim-line card with Snail Mail Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_snailed_it_carolpaynestamps7
