Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop March Edition Sale-a-bration Take 2!

Hey there! It's time for the Stamper's Dozen March Blog Hop! Our theme is SAB second release!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n 

I'm using the Basket Weave Dynamic folder because I wanted to create a "pie " for "PI" Day! lol!

Stampin_up_apron_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

I cut Crumb Cake card stock with Layering Circle Framelits, embossing the smooth circle with the Basket Weave folder inked with Crumb Cake. Sponging with more Crumb Cake ink and adding pearls colored with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends Marker complete the "pie" look. I layered my "pie" on  a lacy picnic cloth stamped repeatedly with the lacy image from Touches of Texture.

Stampin_up_apron_of_love_carolpaynestamps2

This is a "yummy" card!

The Basket Weave folder is available for free in the Blooming Basket Bundle with a $100 order, but you will be able to purchase it singly when the new Annual Catalog comes out in June. But why wait?!

Hop on to Judy Garza's blog to see what she has "cooked up" for us!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Pop-Thru Card!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Pop-Thru Card!

Hey there! Here's another Pop-Thru card created with Dragonfly Dreams and Springtime Foils Specialty Sale-a-bration Level 1:

Stampin_up_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps1

The "rose gold" foil in the Springtime Foils coordinate perfectly with Copper Foil Sheets. I cut the dragonflies with Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets and punched the "pop-thru" slot with the Classic Label Punch.

After heat embossing a copper greeting I cut it and the copper mat with a Petals & More Thinlet Die. To "stretch" the copper mat layer I snipped it in half before adhering.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps3

Another copper embossed Dragonfly Dreams sentiment and a smaller dragonfly cut with another Detailed Dragonfly Thinlet.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps4

I adhered a vellum dragonfly behind the detailed copper one with glue dots. I adhered it inside layer with more glue dots so it would "pop-thru" the Classic Label-punched slot.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps5

I been requested to post a tutorial and/or video of the construction of the "pop-thru" card. I have one more card in the works I will be sharing soon. I plan to at least post a printable tutorial at that time.

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket One More Time!

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket One More Time!

Hey there! Today's card features Blossoming Basket, Springtime Foils Specialty Paper, and sponge daubers!

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps1

Copper Foil Sheets and copper embossing!

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps2

After embossing with Copper, I used a sponge dauber to apply Powder Pink ink.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps4

Another sponge dauber added Flirty Flamingo to the bloom centers. I colored the foliage with a Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Marker.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps5

I held the Layering Circle die with washi tape, turned it over and to lay on the Big Shot Platform with the cutting edge of the die facing up.

This method of cutting is a GAME CHANGER!!!! I was ruining a couple of sets of Cutting Pads EVERY SINGLE MONTH!  After simply turning the cutting edges up before cranking the cutting pads are NOT WARPING!

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps6

I copper embossed a Heartfelt Blooms sentiment, then stamping butterflies and the basket with Powder Pink and Flirty Flamingo.

Stampin’ Up! Waterfront!

Stampin’ Up! Waterfront!

Hey there! I decided to play with Waterfront set a few days ago!

Stampin_up_waterfront_carolpaynestamps1

The images have a watercolor look, so I stamped on watercolor paper. Stamping ink on watercolor paper without extra moisture is kind of blah, so I lightly spritzed with water before stamping and the look improved!

I inked the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Embossing Folder with Crumb Cake ink before embossing Crumb Cake card stock for the background. I used Marina Mist, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, and Always Artichoke for the scene, and Early Espresso for the greetings.

Stampin_up_waterfront_carolpaynestamps2

I took inspiration from a swap I received from Karen Kurz to cut the easel from Painter's Palette in half to add to the back of the watercolor paper "canvas". I also used the easel fold to complete the easel theme.

Stampin_up_waterfront_carolpaynestamps3

I used the Pretty Label and Every Day Label Punches to create the easel "stop".

Stampin_up_waterfront_carolpaynestamps4

There are 6 sentiments in the Waterfront set. I used 5 of them on this card!

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket Colored with Markers!

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket Colored with Markers!

Hey there! I want to see how many different coloring techniques I can use with the Blossoming Basket Bundle!

After heat embossing the basket with white powder, I colored the backside of vellum card stock with Stampin' Write Markers.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps1 

It looks messy and ugly from this side doesn't it? I colored the basket with a Chocolate Chip marker, then used Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive to fill in the blooms and leaves.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps8

When you turn the vellum over to the front, the vellum and embossed lines make the messy markering look soft and lovely!

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps9

 I adhered the vellum  to the card front with strategically placed bits of Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps10

The vellum is adhered over a layer of Pear Pizzazz dry embossed with the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder for a softly green background.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps2

A hand-snipped greeting banner and embossed and colored butterflies (hand-cut with Paper Snips) finish the front.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps4

The inside is stamped with more Blossoming Basket images.
