Stampin’ Up! Whitewash Coloring Secret Garden Tutorial!

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Hope you do some fun stamping today! I am going to be stamping with Krystal and her friends today! yay!

Just want to share this fun project from my final Punch/Technique Class for this Stampin' Up! Catalog year using the Whitewash Coloring Technique with the Secret Garden stamp set & framelits and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder (which will soon be retiring).

Note: all products are ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless otherwise noted

We embossed the Basic Black cardstock with the Elegant Bouquet folder and the Big Shot, then sponged the raised areas with Whisper White Craft ink to make them pop! The Happiest Birthday greeting is from the Apothecary Art stamp set, and the cut-out flower images are from Secret Garden!

The inside is simply white heat embossed with the verse from the soon-to-be-retired set, You Are Loved, as well as the same flower images as the front!

Here's a mini-tutorial of how to do the "whitewashing" technique!

Whitewash Coloring

1. Stamp
image with Versamark ink on solid-color cardstock (Crumb Cake for this project). Heat Emboss with White Embossing
Powder and Heat Tool.

2.Squeeze closed Whisper White Craft Pad to deposit ink in lid. Open pad. Pick
up ink from lid with a wet AquaPainter.
“Wash” color over embossed image. Allow to air-dry or dry with Heat Tool.

3.Squeeze
lid of a Classic inkpad color of choice (Midnight Muse and Primrose Petals for this project). Open
pad. Pick up ink from lid with Blender Pen. Apply ink to “white-washed” areas
as desired. Add more intense ink color with matching Stampin’ Write Marker.

These images were cut out with the Secret Garden Framelit Dies and the Big Shot.

There you have it! Give Whitewash Coloring a try and let me know what you think!

Gotta go! Krystal's workshop awaits!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Owl Occasions and Faux Bow Mini-tutorial!

Posted on September 28, 2012 by Carol Payne

Another cute card I created for my recent workshops I want to share with you using the "Owl Occasions" stamp set and the "Snow Festival" Designer Paper! The stamped snowflakes around the owl are from the "Confetti" stamp set. The present, the branch, and the santa hat are included in "Owl Occasions" along with the owl, of course!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2012

I also used the Primrose Petals 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon that is still on special for a couple of more days! Any $40 order will let you choose your choice of 5 In-Colors of this ribbon: Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, or Summer Starfruit! Contact me with your order before Midnight, September 30th to take advantage of this great Stampin' Up! special!

With this card I have been teaching a fun "faux bow" technique:

Step 1: Tie a length of ribbon (in this case about 9-10 inches) around the 2 Way Glue Pen bottle as shown below. Tie a double knot tightly.

Step 2: Slide the tied ribbon off the bottle. Your ribbon will look like this:

Step 3: Use your Craft Scissors to snip the loop in the middle. Snip the ribbon at an angle to make it pretty.

Step 4: Your "faux bow" is now ready to attach to your card with SNAIL or Glue Dots. Tighten the long ends of the ribbon before attaching to card front if you need a little more length to reach around to the back side of the card layer.

Hope you've enjoyed today's little mini tutorial!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!

Valentine Heart Framelit Mobile & Tutorial

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Carol Payne

While at the San Antonio Regional held immediately after Leadership, I had the opportunity to see some very talented demos "strut their stuff" at the Demonstration Booths. Stampin' Up! asks Demonstrators who will be attending their events to apply to show a technique or new idea using Stampin' Up! products. I hope to share several of those ideas with you soon, but for now I need to show you the one I have put into action, a Valentine Mobile made with the new Heart Framelits, Silver and Red Glimmer Paper, and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine!

Isn't it a beauty? Unfortunately, even though I took notes and pictures of this project, I failed to record the Demonstrators name who presented this project! My bad! If you DO know the name of the pretty lady who shared this, PLEASE let me know!

ETA: The name of the talented demonstrator who presented this project was Judy Garza! You can view her blog here:

stampingwithjudyg.blogspot.com

This project was one of my FREE Big Shot Class projects this month. Do you know what that means? It means I have a tutorial for you!

Download Heart Framelits Glimmer Mobile

I actually have a few kits for this mobile available, so if you would like to purchase one, just contact me via email. Cost is $15 with $5 Priority Shipping. Just email me and I will send you a Paypal invoice for the full amount. If you are local to me you can pick up direct and save the shipping. Just le me know when you email me:

carol@carolpaynestamps.com

There is a supply list included in the tutorial, so you can go to my webisit to purchase any Stampin' Up! supplies you may need, as long as you do not currently have a relationship with a local Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you order right away you should receive your order in time to get your mobile made for Valentine's Day!
