Stampin’ Up! Bee Thankful!

Stampin’ Up! Bee Thankful!

Hey there! When the Retiring List comes out I often find I have some stamps that I've never gotten inky.  It's sad, so I try to create with all of the neglected ones before they fully retire. The card I have for you today is with the Bee Thankful single stamp, which was one of those neglected for too long!

I combined Bee Thankful with All Wired Up and Ornate Garden Specialty Paper:

Stampin_up_bee_thankful_carolpaynestamps1

After stamping the image with Tuxedo Black ink, I then traced around the stamp on scrap paper to create a mask to lay over the "thanks" and bee image to stamp over it with the All Wired Up image. Intended to look like chicken wire, I think it passes for honeycomb too. What do you think?

Inside I used a sentiment from the retiring "Thanks for the Laughs".

Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile Ornate Style!

Stampin’ Up! Terracotta Tile Ornate Style!

Hey there! Today I have a new card created with the Ornate Style stamp set, Ornate Garden Specialty Designer paper, and Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder! Are you surprised I'm stamping with these products again? lol!

I love how this card turned out!

Stampin_up_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps2

I heat embossed the large floral spray with white on Terracotta Tile, then cut out with my Paper Snips. I used a Blender Pen to add Terracotta Tile to some of the blooms and White Craft ink to the smaller ones.

Stampin_up_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps4

I heat embossed "Hello there" from Here's a Card, then double-punched with the Classic Label.

Stampin_up_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps7
After heat-embossing "Happy Birthday", I punched with the Label Me Fancy punch.

Stampin_up_orante_style_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Here's a Card with Terracotta Tile.

Stampin’ Up! Music From The Heart Baby Wipes Technique!

Stampin’ Up! Music From The Heart Baby Wipes Technique!

Hey there! I created today's card with the Baby Wipes technique. Traditionally a technique done with glossy card stock, I decided to use regular plain Whisper White and it turned out great!

I used Seaside Spray, Balmy Blue, and Night of Navy in refills on folded pieces of baby wipe to create the swirls of color over the retiring Music From the Heart images heat embossed with clear powder.

Stampin_up_music_from_the_heart_carolpaynestamps1

I think I forgot to use my embossing buddy on the white paper before I stamped and embossed, which is why I have some random "scatter" flecks between some of the images. Stampin'Up! is retiring the Embossing Buddy. If you are planning to do any heat embossing I would urge you to order one today before they are gone! They are just the thing you need to help your embossed images to heat up clean!

Stampin_up_music_from_the_heart_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the greeting and the piano keys with black on on white, then hand-cut them out. Don't be afraid to cut things with your Paper Snips scissors. I know it's often called "fussy cutting", which sounds like misery, but with just a little practice you can think of it as "fancy cutting" and it can definitely change your perspective and make your project possibilities grow!

Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Online Order Gift!

Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Online Order Gift!

Hey there! The past couple of days my blog has had issues with uploading pictures, so it was pointless to blog, but today the upload function works again, so I wanted to share with you this simple card I created with the Honey Bee Bundle for my May Online Ordering thank you card:
Stampin_up_honey_bee_carolpaynestamps2

Just so you know, the Honey Bee bundle of stamps and dies are retiring on June 4th. I KNOW? This set is soooooo cute and versatile! I'm sad. So I created this card for my thank you gift for any online order this month and I'm going to be announcing an online class with this set this month too, so be on the look-out!

I used the retiring Honey Bee Bundle of stamps and dies and one of the flower centers from the retiring Daisy Delight stamp set for the polka-dot background on the Crumb Cake card base. I stamped the flower center with Whisper White Craft ink randomly for the polka-dot effect.

Stampin_up_honey_bee_carolpaynestamps3

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the Crushed Curry beehive for a bit of subtle shimmer.

Stampin_up_honey_bee_carolpaynestamps4

I used a retiring Detailed Bee die to cut the retiring Gold Glimmer paper. I adhered to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_honey_bee_carolpaynestamps5

This card can be used a a birthday, congratulations, or birthday card. So versatile!
