Stampin’ Up! A Round Array Meets This Day!

Stampin’ Up! A Round Array Meets This Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to play with the layout I used for yesterday's card again, but had to throw several attempts in the trash (yes, I do make icky cards sometimes!) I kept trying to use a daisy theme with the layout and kept coming up with nothing I was happy with. Ever have one of those days?

I think the problem was I was trying so hard I wasn't paying attention to a solution that was right under my nose!

The solution was the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection, a freebie with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I had chosen this collection with one of my orders, then promptly ignored how CUTE this pack of cards is!

I opened the pack, and In just a few minutes my card was born!

By cutting down the cards in the collection and using several of the coordinating patterns, this card finally went together in a snap!

I added a bloom created with the Bouquet Bigz L Die, and a 7/8" Scalloped Circle-punched greeting from A Round Array. After I glue-dotted the Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo blooms together, I scored down the center of each petal with the stylus from the Simply Scored Scoring Board and gently pinched/folded the edges of the petals. Surprisingly, Stampin' Up! doesn't offer a 5/8" Circle Punch, which is the size I needed to punch out the "you make me smile" from A Round Array, so I hand-cut it with Paper Snips.

Inside I used a sentiment from Feel Goods with Island Indigo ink, accented with a stamp from the Mixed Bunch set and Crushed Curry ink. The 1/2" wide strip on the left side of the Whisper White panel is also from the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection.

That's all for now. This card was SUPER EASY once I stopped trying so hard!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Chalk Talk!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Chalk Talk!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's Sunday again, which means it's Sunday Swap Day! Today I have some convention swaps using the fun new set, Chalk Talk!

Denise Sullivan combined this set with Crisp Cantaloupe Core'dinations cardstock and Birthday Basics Designer Paper. The Core'dinations paper already has a texture to it which Denise emphasized by sanding it lightly.

Brenda Meyers used Crushed Curry for her card base with lightly sanded Coastal Cabana Core'dinations paper which she had cranked through the Big Shot in the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Folder. The Eastern Elegance Designer Paper strip at the bottom matches perfectly with the embossed design and the Chalk Talk stamps used. Brenda used Coastal Cabana 3/8" Ruffled Stretch Ribbon and Basic Jewel Pearls to finish off her design!

Jessica Lewis created this card with a decidedly Halloween feel, even though it says nothing scary! I think it is her color combo of Basic Black, Smoky Slate, and Tangerine Tango that gives me that impression. She embossed Vellum, stamped En Francais on the Basic Black oval with White Craft ink, and stamped the Chalk Talk flourish on Vellum with Black StazOn ink before cutting it out with the matching Chalk Talk Framelit. The "You Make Me Smile" from A Round Array has been heat embossed with Tangerine Tango and punched with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

That's all for now. It's dark and rainy-looking here today. I've got to get ready to help in the nursery at church this morning. That is sure to brighten my day!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Emboss Resist Technique!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! Hope your day is going well! Today I'm working on my swap for the Stampin' Up! Grand Vacation in Fiji! I will show it to you  before I leave, but today I have some more fun swaps to show you! This month's theme was "techniques", and everyone really outdid themselves. Today I am showing you a collection of samples using the "Emboss Resist" technique, so here we go!

Note: all products used are  ©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013 unless stated  otherwise.

Rhonda Bassler combined En Francais background with a white embossed and stamped-and-punched butterflies from Papillon Potpourri. She added a little sponged Calypso Coral to make the embossed butterflies "pop"!

I always love black & white with a splash of color, it's just so elegant! Tamie Ackerson white embossed the Sweet Floral background stamp on a Whisper White Top Note, then sponged Pool Party ink over the image for a gentle and soft look!

An finally for today, Mary Waring used lots of retiring colors (Pretty in Pink and Lucky Limeade) and product on her swap. She Clear-embossed one of the flowers from the Secret Garden stamp set on a Whisper White Top Note, then sponged Pretty In Pink ink over them. She used more stamps from the same set, clear-embossing again on white before cutting out with the Secret Garden Framelits and coloring with Rose Red ink. She finished off her card with Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding (retiring) and a stamp from the Spring Special Bundle, A Round Array!

That's all for now! It's back to swap making for me! See you tomorrow for another Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #2!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #2!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! It's a "Liam day" again today, so I have just a few minutes before I'm off to his house!

Today I want to show you the second set of Print Poetry birthday cards I made!

Note: All samples shown today are©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Print poetry 7

This first one uses the some of the "pinks" pages of the Print Poetry Designer Paper Stack and a Naturals Ivory card base. The greeting is from the Occasions Catalog set, Make a Wish, and the gorgeous snowflake-y looking medallions are from the April Special set, A Round Array! I added the Raspberry Ripple In-Color Dahlia and the Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding bow with Glue Dots.

Print poetry 8

My second creation with the "pinks" paper uses Pink Pirouette as the card base, which has been embossed with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. This time I used a Primrose Petals In-Color Dahlia and the same Rose Red 1/2" Seam Binding to make the bow.

Print poetry 9

On the inside I used Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the "make a WISH" stamp, also from the Make a Wish stamp set. After I stamped in the center of the card, I continued with "generational" stamping by huffing on the stamp with my breath before stamping again several times without re-inking the stamp!

Well, that's it for today! Thanks so much for stopping in to see me!
