Stampin’ Up! Gingham Nature’s Beauty!

Stampin’ Up! Gingham Nature’s Beauty!

Hey there! I took a little break from blogging to throw together a yard sale with my daughter, Alisa, and my newest daughter-in-law Faith, over the weekend. Working together (sweltering, actually!) in 90 degree heat to set up and and break down is a bonding experience, to say the least! lol! Despite the hard work, I thoroughly enjoyed working side by side with both girls, and after one more trip to the Christian Outreach store to drop off the left over stuff, we'll be done till next spring!

Today's project was again created with the Nature's Beauty stamp set, as well as with Rustic Retreat and Come to Gather Designer Series Paper.

After stamping the deer with Early Espresso and the foliage spray with Pretty Peacock, I dragged the edges of the Whisper White layer on the Pretty Peacock ink pad to get the torn, distressed look.

Stampin_up_gingham_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps2

I used a 1/4" wide strip of Pretty Peacock card stock for a "ribbon". I stamped the greeting from Itty Bitty Greetings with Pretty Peacock ink, then accented with a Noble Peacock Rhinestone.

Inside I used a mix of images and a sentiment from Rustic Retreat.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Thinking of You!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Thinking of You!

Hey there! Today I have another Nature's Beauty creation to share with you; this one features the fox!

For this one I used a Very Vanilla Note Card & Envelope, then layered on a piece of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper. I sponged all of my edges with Crumb Cake ink.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps1

After stamping the fox with Cajun Craze ink and punching with the Story Label Punch, I punched a second Story Label from Cajun Craze ink. I cut the Cajun Craze label down the center like a hot dog bun, then adhered to the back of the fox label with SNAIL. I cut a 1/4" wide strip of Cajun Craze card stock to use as my "ribbon" behind the focal image.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the greeting from Rustic Retreat with Cajun Craze, then used my Paper Snips to cut it out. I've discovered you can also use one of the Stitched Labels Dies to cut this greeting if you don't like to "fussy cut"!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used a sentiment from Rustic Retreat, stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

The pines from Rustic Retreat are just perfect for the background!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps2

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek!

Hey there! The Holiday Catalog goes live for ordering tomorrow morning! Are you as excited as I am? I decided to wait to share most of my creations I've been making with my pre-order until it was almost time for customers to be able to order so I wouldn't be torturing you "too much"! lol!

I created my card today with a special set from the back page of the Holiday Catalog called "Nature's Beauty". I combined it with two other Holiday catalog products: Basic Patterns Decorative Masks and Delicata Metallic Ink in Celestial Copper!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps

I held the mask in place over the Soft Suede layer with bits of washi tape so I could use a sponge dauber to apply the Celestial Copper ink.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps6

It's hard to see, but this ink is gorgeous in real life!

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the bunny from Nature's Beauty in Soft Suede ink and the tree with Celestial Copper. I sponged the edges of the Starburst-punched circle with Celestial Copper too.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps3

You can pair Nature's Beauty with any sentiments you have. I chose a sentiment from the Holiday Catalog set Gather Together. I colored a Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplet with my Bronze Stampin' Blend for my accent on the banner.

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I used another Gather Together sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Free As a Bird Fun Fold Overlay!

Stampin’ Up! Free As a Bird Fun Fold Overlay!

Hey there! Today I have another fun-fold overlay card, this time with the Free As A Bird stamp set and Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper.  My color palette for this one is Petal Pink and Whisper White with some hints of Very Vanilla.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps1

I tied the Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon over the flap embossed with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder. I put a glue dot under the knot to keep it all in place.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps3

I love the look of the Bird Ballad Designer Paper with the Petal Pink card stock. Soooo pretty! I added three tiny pearls to accent the greeting from Very Versailles.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps2

The inside sentiment is also from Very Versailles.
