Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our first day out of quarantine, and although I don't think we are venturing out yet and may not for a few more days, it's good to know we don't have to stay home!

We will be having our family Christmas next week on New Year's Day, so I still have Christmas-y things to do when I feel up to it. We are still pretty tired.

Today I'm sharing a fun card I created with the new Art Gallery Bundle from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

The element that attracted me the most to this bundle was the Floral Gallery Dies with the "just want to say" phrase, so of course I used it on the very first card I made! I embossed the Petal Pink layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder after I had added the strip of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I added a bow tied with Mossy Meadow 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to coordinate with the Mossy Meadow card base.

Inside I inked the flowers with Blushing Bride then used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to add the streaks of color to the blooms.

All of the stamps, dies, and accessories used on today's card will be available to order starting on January 5th, 2021!

Until then you can shop the Year-End Closeout for some good deals on retiring Holiday Catalog products. All items are while-supplies-last. Check inventory in my online store to be sure of availability.

Stampin’ Up! Pattern Play Shaker Cards!

Posted on November 16, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to make a couple of birthday cards with the red/pink Sequins for Everything:

The first one is the basic clear-envelope shaker:

I white heat-embossed the greeting and some sparkles directly on a piece of Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. Placement is important with this step so your sentiment doesn't get lost in the print of the paper.

For the second card I decided to add a frame by cutting a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Magenta Madness with the second-largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered to the clear envelope with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals:

As you can see, my placement of the sentiment on this card "pops" much more than the first!

Inside I used the other Pattern Play sentiment and added sparkles and bubbles with Magenta Madness and So Saffron ink.

Dimensions:

Magenta Madness base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" (landscape) frame: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Artistry Blooms layer: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Inside white layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy!

Posted on November 4, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another set of cards I created with the Quite Curvy Bundle and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper!

This first card has a base of Early Espresso and Very Vanilla for the middle sentiment area.

I love how the Quite Curvy sentiments are already curved to coordinate with the die-cut curves!

These leaves are from a longer set. After I gold heat-embossed the leaves on Gold Foil I cut out two sets of leaves to accent the ends of the sentiment. The Gilded Gems are just the right finishing touch!

Inside I stamped another Quite Curvy sentiment and leaves with Early Espresso ink.

For my second card I cut more curves from Gold Foil and used the inside sentiment from the first card on the front of this one!

I love all of the little "dots" the die cuts! I used the rest of the strip of gold embossed leaves from the first card to accent this one.

I used a line in the Plaid Tidings Designer paper to keep the Gilded Gems straight.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Best Year and the entire strip of leaves with Early Espresso ink. I added 1/2" wide strips of Gold Foil above and below the sentiment layer to coordinate with all of the gold I used on the front.

Dimensions:

Early Espresso base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" (landscape)

Plaid Tidings layer: 3" x 5 1/2"

Brushed Gold for curves: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" for leaf strip: 1 1/2" x 5"

Very Vanilla layers: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Gold strips: 4 3/4" x 1/2" -need two

Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays for Ivory!

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the special birthday card I created for my granddaughter Ivory's 4th birthday. I created a tri-fold, starting with a Purple Posy card base front and back, adding a layer of Gorgeous Grape before finishing with a Whisper White layer stamped with Buffalo Check and Highland Heather ink. I cut "HAPPY" with one of the Happy Dies, then cut the letters free with my Paper Snips. I added them to the card front with liquid glue, then layered punched medium daisies in Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. I punched the heart centers with the Dog Builder Punch and then added a Rhinestone to the centers for some bling.

I adhered three folded pieces of Whisper white to create the tri-fold, then stamped hearts from the Happiest of Birthdays set in Highland Heather and more punched daisies.

This card was a riot of daisies and hearts, perfect for 4 year-old Ivory! She kept saying, "Pretty, pretty!" as she was opening it! I stamped "Make Today Ridiculously Awesome" from the Ridiculously Awesome set to go along with the "HAPPIER" I cut with the Playful Alphabet Dies.

I finished with the same sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays I had used on her momma's card that I showed you yesterday!

Dimensions:

Purple Posy card base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" – need two to punch both sizes of daisies: scraps

Gorgeous Grape: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" – need two to cut 'HAPPY" and "HAPPIER" and punch daisies: scraps

Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two trifold: three pieces, 7 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored and folded at 4" and adhered to each other

Supplies to order:

Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit!

Posted on October 12, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a lovely family party yesterday to celebrate Alisa and Ivory! The weather was perfect for a beautiful fall day!

Today I'm sharing the card I made for my daughter, Alisa. One thing she serves at almost every party is fresh pineapple; so when I saw the pineapple images in the Cute Fruit stamp set, I couldn't resist using them!

The pineapple body and the top are two separate images, but because they are photopolymer (clear) they were easy to fit together! I stamped the body with Daffodil Delight and the top with Granny Apple Green ink. The whisper white strip I stamped on is 2 3/4" wide, so I added two 1/2" wide strips of Rainbow Glimmer Paper to coordinate with the pineapple and the Coastal Cabana card base.

The Cute Fruit stamp set contains three darling little face images, so I decided to personify this pineapple just a little! For my finishing touch I added a few stars from the All the Trimmings Embellishments pack, found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This greeting from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set fit perfectly!

This sentiment, also from Happiest of Birthdays, was perfect for the inside!

Dimensions:

Coastal Cabana card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored & folded 5 1/2"

Whisper White focal image strips: 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" – need two

Rainbow Glimmer Paper strips: 1/2" x 5 1/4" – need four

Wondering why you haven't seen Cute Fruit in the Annual or Holiday Catalogs? It's from a special little catalog called the Beginner Brochure! Designed for the beginning stamper to not be overwhelmed all the choices in the other catalogs, you can order from it too! Here's the link to explore the products and projects:
