Stampin’ Up! Ornate Garden and a Daisy!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Garden and a Daisy!

Hey there! I have another card created with the Ornate Garden Suite to share with you today.  When this suite arrived on my doorstep, the first thing I did was open the package of Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper. The first print that caught my eye was this one with the happy little daisies! I pulled out a package of Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes and both Daisy punches and went to work!

Stampin_up_ornate_garden_carolpaynestamps1-1

After embossing a So Saffron layer with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and adding on a strip of the designer paper, I punched two large and two small daisies from Whisper White card stock. I could have left them flat, but instead I crumpled them all up into tight little balls. I opened them but did not smooth them flat, then layered them together with liquid glue. I added a Gilded Gem to the center, then adhered to the card with more liquid glue.

I layered the Classic Label-punched greeting from Ornate Thanks onto a strip of Old Olive die-cut with an Ornate Layers Die.

I kept the inside simple, stamping the sentiment with Old Olive and the daisy with Soft Suede.

Stampin’ Up! New Catalog Early Release Ornate Garden!

Stampin’ Up! New Catalog Early Release Ornate Garden!

Hey there! Today Stampin' Up! has released a new catalog suite called Ornate Garden! Demonstrators were allowed to pre-order this suite at the beginning of March, so I've had a little time to play. Today I'm sharing one of the first cards I created with the Ornate Thanks part of the suite. This bundle includes the Ornate Thanks stamp set and the Ornate Borders Dies. I chose a print from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper, then built my card around it!

Ornate Garden Border 1

I chose Early Espresso for my card base along with Rococo Rose and Very Vanilla, which were colors I could "see" in the paper. Rococo Rose isn't one of the colors listed on the Ornate Garden Specialty package, but when you put it up against the paper, it coordinates! "just wanted to say" is one of the 19 stamps in the Ornate Thanks set. I embossed a 1/2" strip of  Early Espresso with the new Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder to cover the area between the designer paper and the fancy border I cut from Rococo Rose with one of the 9 Ornate Border Dies. I used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out the greeting and added a Gilded Gem as my finishing touch.

Ornate Garden Border 2

On the Very Vanilla inside layer I stamped another sentiment from Ornate Thanks. I stamped the large bloom image from Ornate Style in the lower right corner using Rococo Rose ink.

Ornate Garden Border 5

All of the components of the Ornate Garden Suite are available to order today! This is no April Fool's joke!

The directions to make this card are free! Simply click this link to download!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils Triple Time!

Stampin’ Up! Flowering Foils Triple Time!

Hey there! Today is the final day of Sale-a-bration, which means after today all of the fun freebies you can choose with your $50 order will be gone until next year! For my final creation with Sale-a-bration products I want to share with you a card I made with Flowering Foils Specialty paper and the Triple Time technique!

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps1

I layered the Flowering Foils Specialty on Balmy Blue mats, then sponged the edges with Night of Navy ink. The blooms are sponged with Night of Navy ink and the leaves with Pear Pizzazz. I wrapped Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Ribbon around the top layers and added a greeting from Itty Bitty Birthdays punched with the Classic Label.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps2

I don't know about you, but I need a belated birthday card almost as often as I need a regular one. Those dates always sneak up on me, do they on you?

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps3

I finished the inside with another bloom clipped from the Flowering Foils paper.

Stampin’ Up! Flowering FoilsSending You Thoughts!

Hey there! I want to show you another great Sale-a-bration freebie before it goes away forever, the Flowering Foils Speciatly Designer Series Paper!

I combined a bloom cut  from the Flowering Foils paper with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and the Sending You Thoughts Sale-a-bration stamp set to create this:

Stampin_up_flowering_foils_sending_you_thoughts_carolpaynestamps1

Yes, I fussy-cut the bloom, but if you leave a little bit of white around it as you cut your eye doesn't notice if you don't cut it out perfectly. I also moved the paper as I cut around the curves, which helps a lot. I added  Rococo Rose, Merry Merlot, Mango Melody, and Mossy Meadow with a Sponge Dauber.

Stampin_up_flowering_foils_sending_you_thoughts_carolpaynestamps2

I used the Tailored Tag Punch for the Sending you Thoughts greeting and added Crumb Cake Nature's Twine.

Stampin_up_flowering_foils_sending_you_thougts_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used another sentiment from the Sale-a-bration Sending You Thoughts.

Stampin_up_flowering_foils_sending_you_thoughts_carolpaynestamps4

I added a partial bloom cut from the edge of the Flowering Foils Specialty inside.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Welcome Easter!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Welcome Easter!

Hey there! I'm not usually a big Easter bunny fan, but these swaps I received are so cute and well done I can't resist sharing them! All three of these swaps were created with the Welcome Easter stamp set found on page 46 of the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog!

First, Kathy Johnson combined the Welcome Easter set with Bird Ballad Designer paper (yes, that striped print is from Bird Ballad pack, and the flowers are cut from another Bird Ballad print) and the Country Floral 3D embossing folder for her z-fold/gatefold card:

Stampin_up_welcome_easter_carolpaynestamps1

Next, Rhonda Bassler combined Welcome Easter with Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder, Daisy Delight and the Daisy Punch, Painted Labels and Stitched Shapes Dies, and 5/8" Organdy Ribbon:

Stampin_up_welcome_easter_carolpaynestamps2

Finally, Jeanne Ciolli expertly watercolored with Stampin' Blends markers on watercolor paper all three of the critters in the Welcome Easter set, then used them to create a waterfall card!

Stampin_up_welcome_easter_carolpaynestamps3

First, the chick!

Stampin_up_welcome_easter_carolpaynestamps4

Next, the lamb!
