Stampin’ Up! Life is Beautiful!

Posted on October 21, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the Paper Crafting Monthly Blog featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world! You may have arrived from Shirley's blog. She had a fabulous project!

Our October theme is Fall with a Designer Series Paper focus since Stampin' Up! is offering a great sale on select Designer Series Papers this month for 15% off. I decided to use the Life is Beautiful stamp set with Plain Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the sale packs!

I used the baby wipes technique to stamp the leaves on the trees, and then cut with a Celebration Labels Die.

The baby wipes technique is an easy way to get color on your stamps! I dropped Cajun Craze, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler in refills on a baby wipe to create a custom "inkpad". Then I inked the leaves stamp with the baby wipe inkpad to get the lovely fall color! You can use the "inkpad" for multiple stampings in the same session!

I snuck in a little bit of Gathered Leaves with the pumpkins stamped with Cajun Craze.

Stampin’ Up! Comfort & Hope!

Posted on October 20, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Sympathy cards are not my favorite thing to make, but I had to make two this past weekend, so I want to share this card with the Comfort & Hope stamp set today and I will share the other one soon.

I just received the Dry Brush Background stamp a couple of weeks ago from the One-Day stamp sale, but I've been so busy playing with designer series paper that I almost forgot about it!

As with just about any card I make that I know I'm going to be giving one away, I make two. One of these will go in the mail tomorrow. I combined three sets to make this card with a bit of a masculine feel: Comfort & Hope, Dry Brush, and Swirly Frames.

I used Misty Moonlight, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for my color combo. I used the largest smooth and the largest scalloped Layering Circle Dies to cut the layers.

I added a multi-loopy bow to the edge of the circle with a glue dot.

I used the Swirly Frames circle on the front focal image and this swirly circles from the Comfort & Hope stamp set inside.

I love this sentiment: "sending you a paper hug"!

Dimensions:

Misty Moonlight card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"

Soft Suede layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" – need two to cut scalloped circle: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Very Vanilla layer: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two to cut smooth focal image circle: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Stampin’ Up! Just Saying Hello!

Posted on October 19, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another fall-themed card with Gilded Autumn Specialty Paper! I'm so sorry Gilded Autumn is un-orderable right now!

I combined two Annual Catalog sets, Nature's Beauty (deer) and Tasteful Touches (greeting). After stamping the greeting with Early Espresso ink I stamped the deer with stamped-off-once Crumb Cake. I cut it and its' Cajun Craze mat with a Tasteful Labels Die.

I adhered the matted greeting on a layer of Gilded Autumn Specialty strips that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder and then sponged with Crumb Cake ink. I wrapped a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim around the layer, securing on the back side with tape. I thought about adding a bow but decided this card didn't need one. I finished it all off with a Gilded Gem to coordinate with the gold and copper foil on one of the Gilded Autumn Specialty strips.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Pallet Thoughts with Early Espresso ink, then another stamped-off-Crumb Cake deer and a leaf spray from Tasteful Touches in stamped-off Cajun Craze.

Dimensions:

Cajun Craze card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2" greeting mat: 4" x 3" inside mat: 3 5/8" x 4 7/8"

Early Espresso layer: 4" x 5 1/4" -need two

Gilded Autumn strips: 1 1/4" x 5" – need three to cover envelope flap: 2 1/4" x 5 3/4"

Very Vanilla greeting: 4" x 3" inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

1/4" Faux Suede ribbon: about 6 inches

Stampin’ Up! Wishing You Well!

Posted on October 17, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a fall card I created just because I wanted to play some more with my fall designer papers and stamps! I used the Gather Together stamps, Gathered Leaves Dies, and Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper to create this gate-fold card:

I stamped the Gather Together greeting with Early Espresso on a scrap of Very Vanilla before I punched with the Label Me Fancy Punch. After cutting out the gold foil leaf with a Gathered Leaves Die, I added it behind the greeting with a glue dot.

I stamped the pumpkins with Terracotta Tile ink on a scrap of Terracotta Tile, then cut with the coordinating Gathered Leaves Die. I added Clear Wink of Stella for shine and punched the oak leaf directly from a Gilded Autumn Specialty print with on of the Autumn Punch Pack punches.

I added a single Gilded Gem for the perfect finishing touch!

Inside I used more Gather Together images and some Crumb Cake sponging to match the sponged label on the front.

Dimensions:

Terracotta Tile card base (gate fold): 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"

Gilded Autumn Specialty layers: 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"

Very Vanilla greeting: 2" x 3" inside layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Stampin’ Up! Color Challenge!

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the Stampers Dozen October Blog Hop! Our theme is Color Challenge with these yummy colors: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla!

I decided to use the Love of Leaves Bundle to create a gate fold:

I embossed Cinnamon Cider front panels with the Old World Paper 3D folder. I added 1/4" wide strips of Gold Foil to the edges.

I used Stitched Leaves Dies to cut Cherry Cobbler, Bumblebee, Early Espresso, and Gold Foil leaves. I punched the greeting strip with the Banners Pick a Punch and added a 3/8" Embroidered Ribbon bow.

I stamped Love of Leaves images with Early Espresso, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler to accent the Early Espresso-stamped Love of Leaves sentiment.

Just click on the name after mine or any name on the list to view the rest of the hop!
