Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day April 24!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day April 24!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our family's gathering for Easter at our house. I am very thankful that this year I am able to host. Last year I was still fragile-but-recovering from my post-covid anxiety attacks so we gathered at my daughter, Alisa's house. I am also very thankful for modern medicines that have helped me in my recovery.

I have a pretty collection of sympathy cards to share with you today!

First, Laura Barto used the Grassy Grove Bundle to create her pretty card:

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_carolpaynestamps

Next, Gail Connelly used one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders with the Inspired Thoughts stamp set for her pretty sympathy card.

Carol Slack combined Cinnamon Cider and Pale Papaya with Inspired Thoughts and Encircled In Friendship:

Rhonda Bassler created her sympathy card with the Honeybee Home Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Paper, and Hive 3D embossing folder.

Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Flowering Tulips bundle with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments:

Finally, Jenna Roby used the retiring Simply Elegant Specialty paper with retiring Ornate Frames dies:

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Nature’s Harvest!

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Nature’s Harvest!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is sooo pretty! I found a layout I loved and adapted it to use with the Nature's Harvest and Dragonfly Garden stamp sets!

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps1

I created my own "designer paper" by heat embossing the flower spray with clear powder on a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Basic White, then using a Blending Brush to apply  Fresh Freesia ink over it. The clear embossing resists the ink, creating this pretty look!

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the cone flowers with Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers to add some shimmer.

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps3

I colored a strip of Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to get a darker version to put behind the circle with the cone flowers. I heat embossed a greeting from Dragonfly Garden on a 1/2" strip of Fresh Freesia, then cut one end into banner points with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps4

I tied the ribbon in a bow and then added with a glue dot.

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps5

On the inside I used the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to add a darker edge to a 4" x 5 1/4" Fresh Freesia layer, then added the 3 3/4" x 5" white sentiment layer.

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps10

I stamped the inside with another Dragonfly Garden sentiment, and added Dragonfly Garden butterflies/dragonflies with Fresh Freesia ink. I did the emboss resist technique on the envelope flap as well.

Stampin_up_freesia_natures_harvest_carolpaynestamps6

I added a bit of Fresh Freesia ink over the stamped cone flower and added a few more Fresh Freesia butterflies.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Quiet Meadow Dragonfly Collage!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Quiet Meadow Dragonfly Collage!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last night I played with a couple of current sets that are not retiring to create today's card. Products, especially stamp sets, are flying off the shelves and selling out daily, so I've decided to try to make most of my cards moving forward with current and carrying-over supplies to avoid tempting you with products you can't order anymore.

I used the Quiet Meadow and Dragonfly Garden stamp set to create this collage card with a color palette of Blackberry Bliss, Merry Merlot, and Pear Pizzazz.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_collage_carolpaynestamps1

I used a combination of stamping with full-strength ink and stamping off once or twice on scrap paper before stamping on the very vanilla paper. I did add a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the cone flowers for a bit of shimmer.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_collage_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding with one of the smudge stamps from the Nature's Harvest stamp set.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_collage_carolpaynestamps3

I cut the length of ribbon I needed (about 14 inches) then quickly stamped the ribbon with Blackberry Bliss ink. It was dry in minutes and ready to wrap around the bottom edge of the card and to tie in a bow. I secured the knot with a glue dot and added another glue dot to the middle of the ribbon on the back side to keep it from sliding off the end.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_collage_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I used a Dragonfly Garden sentiment with more stamping-off Pear Pizzazz stamping and ink blending with Pear Pizzazz and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove Tunnel Card!

Stampin’ Up! Grassy Grove Tunnel Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another new fold, at least it is to me, called the Tunnel Fold. I combined the Grassy Grove Bundle of stamps and dies with Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper and a few other fun things to create this sympathy/encouragement card.

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_tunnel_card_carolpaynestamps1

I love this Grassy Grove sentiment, stamped with Evening Evergreen ink and punched with the retiring Everyday Label. I accented the card with retiring Genial Gems too.

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_tunnel_card_carolpaynestamps2

Here is an view of the card open and from the top.

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_tunnel_card_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I cut the peep-hole into the tunnel with Hippo & Friends Dies.

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_tunnel_card_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped a Grassy Grove deer with Soft Suede ink, cut with a Grove die, then adhered to the New Horizons Designer Paper I used on the inside of the tunnel.

Stampin_up_grassy_grove_tunnel_card_carolpaynestamps6

I put the signature layer on the back of the card, flanked by two 1/2" strips of New Horizon paper.

Stampin’ Up! Pansy Petals Boughs & Blossoms!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a pair of cards I created with the Boughs & Blossoms Bundle, but this time I used retiring Pansy Petals Designer Paper. I love this paper, and have realized that here we are at retirement time and I haven't used it enough! I know I tend to be a pretty paper hoarder, but I'm stating here and now that with this new catalog coming in May I will use my paper more!

I created these two with the same basic layout, only switching out a few things to give the same prints a different look with different card stock backgrounds and stamped blooms. I will add the dimensions at the bottom of this post.

This card I emphasized the Pale Papaya with the layer behind the Pansy Petals sections and the mat behind the Everyday Label-punched greeting label.

I stamped a bloom with Fresh Freesia, cut with Paper Snips, then added with dimensionals. I added "greenery" punched from Fresh Freesia with the Bough Punch and some 2021-2023 In Color Jewels for some sparkle.

The inside sentiment is brand-new! It's from a new Annual Catalog set that I just received from Stampin' Up! yesterday called Limited Edition. You will be able to order it on May 3rd!

My favorite of the two cards is this one that I used a Fresh Freesia layer behind the designer paper rectangles!

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the center of the Polished Pink bloom (nearly impossible to photograph) and added a few Loose Flower Flourishes with a glue dot for the larger one and tiny dots of liquid glue for the two smaller ones. I added self-adhesive Iridescent Rhinestones to these centers.

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is a CASE from a Boughs & Blossoms card found on page 26 of the January/June Mini Catalog! One of my stampers wanted to know how to make it, so I made it myself so I can show it to her at our next class together. This card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, Bough Punch (as a bundle to save 10%), and white heat embossing!

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps4

I punched So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Blushing Bride card stock and the same colors plus Pear Pizzazz designer paper with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to create the bases for each are on the card front.

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps5

The greeting is white heat-embossed on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz, then trimmed with Paper Snips. The white leaves and blooms are punched with the Bough punch and then added to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Other images from Boughs & Blossoms are white heat-embossed on the various subtle card stock colors.

Inside is all stamped with more Boughs & Blossoms images.
