Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Have a Blessed Easter!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Have a Blessed Easter!

Hey there! I'm not going to spend much time on this post today, because today is such a special day. I'm going to post and get off here to contemplate the awesome gift Jesus gave us when he died on the cross and ROSE AGAIN! Praise the Lord!

I just have one card to share with you today, this swap created by Carol Slack with the Easter Promise stamp set from page 45 of the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog. This card is so lovely!

Although Stampin' Up! discontinued the Purple Posy ink pad due to quality issues, the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers are still available. After coloring the crocus', Carol added Clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer & shine. She also colored a few rhinestones with a Highland Heather Stampin' Blends marker for some pops of sparkle.

The greeting is from Timeless Tulips, and the ribbon is 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon found in the Annual Catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Flap-Fold!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Flap-Fold!

Hey there! I was looking through old swaps and found a fold I had not used before that I wanted to try! For lack of a better name, I'm calling it a "flap-fold"! Of course, I used the new catalog pre-release set you can order this month, Ornate Style, Ornate Layers Dies, and Ornate Floral 3D Embossing folder!

Stampin_up_folded_flap_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps1

This card came together very quickly once I figured out the dimensions! The card base is 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 4 1/2" and 10". The 1" section creates the top fold and the 4 1/2" is the bottom front fold. I embossed the bottom and top front folds with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing folder. Very simple!

I cut the scroll-y frame from Whisper White with an Ornate Layers die, then stamped another Whisper White layer with the floral spray from Ornate Style (quickly becoming a fav of mine!) with Pool Party. After cutting with a Stitched Rectangle die, it fit perfectly inside the frame. I added touches of Clear Wink of Stella to the daisy centers and rhinestones to the smaller blooms.

Stampin_up_folded_flap_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps3

I finished the top fold with a length of Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon to complement the rhinestone sparkle!

Stampin_up_folded_flap_ornate_style_carolpaynestamps4

For the inside I used my favorite Positive Thoughts sentiment, stamped in Pool Party. I matted the white sentiment layer with Smoky Slate.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Stained Glass Vellum!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Stained Glass Vellum!

Hey there! While I was playing with the stained glass technique and the Ornate Style stamp set, I created a second card. This one is Smoky Slate with the Buffalo Check background heat-embossed with white and the floral spray is cut out with an Ornate Layers die.

Stampin_up_buffalo_vellum_carolpaynestamps1

I colored all of the embossed blooms on the backside of the vellum, using both color tones in the Stampin' Blends Combo packs!

Stampin_up_buffalo_vellum_carolpaynestamps4

I just want you to see the gorgeous detail of this frame cut with an Ornate Layers die! I ran it through my die cutting machine once cutting-side down, then flipped it to cutting-side up and ran it back and forth again. After I rolled the die brush over it most of the pieces fell out, leaving only a few to finish poking with the paper-piercing end of the Take Your Pick tool.

Stampin_up_buffalo_vellum_carolpaynestamps6

I used a combination of sentiments from Positive Thoughts and Ornate Thanks, then stamped part of the floral spray with Petal Pink ink.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Embossed Vellum!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Embossed Vellum!

Hey there! A couple of days ago I took almost the whole day and just stamped! It was soooo much fun! I mostly played with the Ornate Garden Suite, and the possibilities are endless!

The card I'm sharing today was created by heat embossing on vellum, then coloring with Stampin' Blends:

Stampin_up_ornate_style_vellum_carolpaynestamps1

After heat embossing with white powder and coloring on the back side with the blends, I used an Ornate Layers die to cut out the floral spray. I sketchily colored around the blooms with a Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend before adhereing to a white layer with strategically placed glue dots.

Stampin_up_ornate_style_vellum_carolpaynestamps2

I colored on the backside for all of the blooms and leaves except the daisies. For some inexplicable reason I colored them on the front! I prefer to color on the back side so the vellum can soften the brushstrokes and color, but I had already finished coloring it all before I discovered my mistake, so I decided to just go with it! lol!

Stampin_up_ornate_style_vellum_carolpaynestamps4

The greeting is heat-embossed with white on the Classic Label-punched Pool Party. I added some bling with a Gilded Gem from the Ornate Garden Suite.

Stampin_up_ornate_style_vellum_carolpaynestamps3

After dry-embossing the largest inside white layer with the Ornate Floral 3D folder, I added the rest of the layers stamped with Ornate Style and Ornate Thanks.

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Triple Time One More Time!

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Triple Time One More Time!

Hey there! Today I have one more triple time stamping creation for you and then I'm ready to move on! I've had a blast playing with this technique, so I decided to create one last card using my current favorite stamp set, Positive Thoughts! I used Merry Merlot, Rococo Rose, and Pool Party to stamp on the Very Vanilla layers:

Stampin_up_positive_thoughts_carolpaynestamps1-3

This card stamped up fast! After I layered all three vanilla layers together, I simply stamped, stamped, stamped! I then adhered each layer to its' corresponding mat layer, and put it all together!

Stampin_up_positive_thoughts_carolpaynestamps3

After stamping the greeting from Positive Thoughts I stamped the bloom behind it with stamped-off-once Rococo Rose. I punched it with the Label Me Fancy Punch and added a Melon Mambo Noble Peacock Rhinestone, which coordinated with all of the pink shades going on this card very well. I added a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon under the greeting and added a mat layer under the greeting that is actually Merry Merlot punched with the Label Me Fancy punch and then cut in half to "stretch" it.

Stampin_up_positive_thoughts_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I framed the sentiment with more blooms using stamped-off Rococo Rose ink.
