Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! I was too busy during this crazy weekend to have any time to post! We had a yard sale on Saturday, and then all the family here for Mother's Day, so today  is my first chance to sit down with my computer at all.

Today I'm sharing what I planned to share for Sunday Swap Day, a collection of cards featuring the Bottled Happiness bundle.

First a Blackberry Bliss/Basic White, Highland Heather/Pear Pizzazz color combo by Tara Scyoc. She used Paper Snips to cut out the bouquet of flowers before popping up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Tara used a Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Write Marker to highlight the Whimsy die design, as well as a couple of Stylish Shapes dies to cut the greeting and the banner behind it.

Next, Kathy Morgan used Orchid Oasis and Granny Apple Green along with a Scalloped Contours Die and the Double Oval Punch.

The photopolymer (clear) stamps in the Bottled Happiness set allow the Orchid Oasis blooms to be stamped first, then the Granny Apple Green leaves and centers line up perfectly for the second stamping!

Both of the greetings on this card are from the Pansy Patch stamp set!

Next, Barb Mullkin paired Parakeet Party with Orchid Oasis for her bright and cheery card. She scored the front layer with the Simply Scored Scoring Board, cut the focal image with a Stylish Shapes Die, and added a bow tied from Orchid Oasis 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.

Janine Pohlmann used Tahitian Tide, Basic Black, Basic White, Parakeet Party, and Polished Pink for her Bottled Happiness card.

The tiny "I miss you" is from the Cup of Tea Bundle, as well as the stamped tag outline and the die to cut it with. She added a Crumb Cake Baker's Twine bow.

Finally, Sacha Wilson created a masculine card with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, and He's the Man Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints to Kick off the New Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints to Kick off the New Catalog!

Hey there! The Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalog launched this morning! I will leave a link to the catalog at the bottom of this post for your enjoyment!

Today I have one more card created with the Nature's Prints Bundle of stamps and dies, as well as the new Fern 3D embossing folder! I used a monochromatic color combo of Gray Granite and Basic White.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps1

I rubbed the Gray Granite ink pad on the inside of the Fern 3D embossing folder before I inserted the 4" x 5 1/4" Gray Granite layer so the fern design would pop! I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the focal image after stamping and cutting with a Nature's Prints die.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps2

The "Hello there" sentiment from Nature's Prints is just the perfect size to tuck into so many small spaces on your card. After assembling my card front I accented with a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped another Nature's Prints sentiment, as well as a few more bits of foliage with Gray Granite ink.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps5

To create a darker Gray Granite inside mat layer I dragged my ink pad directly on the Gray Granite card stock to give it a darker shade! You can do this with almost all of our card stock and ink pad colors!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today I have a sneak peek of the new Annual Catalog bundle, Nature's Prints. My three cards today are a progression from beginner, to casual, to avid stamper.

Stampin_up_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps1

This beginner card is almost a simple as it gets! I did not use the dies from the bundle or the coordinating embossing folder. I simply cut four  1 1/2" x 1 1/2" squares of Basic White, stamped each one with a different Nature's Prints image in one of four different colors, and then adhered to a 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" square of Gray Granite. I popped the square on the card front with stampin' dimensionals, and left it at that! The colors I used to stamp the images were Gray Granite, Mango Melody, Pacific Point, and a new 2022/24 In Color Starry Sky! (the fern image is stamped with the Starry Sky)

Stampin_up_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps2

For the casual stamper card I used the same ink colors to stamp the same images on the same size Basic White squares, but layered them over a Gray Granite die-cut wreath that I used a Nature's Prints Die to cut, then adhered with dots of liquid glue. I added a few Classic Matte Dots for a bit more interest.

Stampin_up_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps3

For the Avid stamper card I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Gray Granite to emboss with the Fern 3D embossing folder. On top of that I added die-cuts that I stamped a Nature's Prints image with Gray Granite ink on Gray Granite card stock, then cut with a Nature's Prints die. I added the same Basic White squares stamped with the same images and more Classic Matte Dots.

Stampin_up_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps4

The inside of each card has another 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Gray Granite, then a 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" Basic White layer stamped with Nature's Prints images in Gray Granite and Pacific Point.

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That For Luke!

Stampin’ Up! He’s All That For Luke!

Hey there! I needed a masculine birthday card for my grandson-in-law, Luke, and the He's All That Bundle and He's the Man Specialty Designer Series Paper came to the rescue!

I started by cutting a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of the designer paper at the 3" line, flipping the 2 1/4" piece over and adhering to the top front of the Basic Black card base. I then adhered the Cajun Craze diagonal-striped layer.

For the focal greeting image I used one of the die-cuts from the sheets included in the designer paper pack, adhering to a slightly larger Basic Black mat layer. I then adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

IMG_4003

For the lower sentiment I cut Basic Black card stock with this cool die to create the background for the Tuxedo Black-stamped "love this guy". I cut it out with another one of the All That dies.

IMG_4002

Inside I used two sentiments from the Sending Smiles stamp set. I also stamped the corners of the layer with an image from the He's All That stamp set, all with black ink.

IMG_4008

I stamped this He's All That sentiment on the envelope flap!

For the lower sentiment I cut Basic Black card stock with this cool die to create the background for the Tuxedo Black-stamped "love this guy". I cut it out with another one of the All That dies.

Inside I used two sentiments from the Sending Smiles stamp set. I also stamped the corners of the layer with an image from the He's All That stamp set, all with black ink.

I stamped this He's All That sentiment on the envelope flap!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!
