Stampin’ Up! Wildflower Meadow!

Posted on March 9, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you've had as good of a Sunday as I've had! Most of the fam here for lunch and the afternoon, then homemade pizza after nighttime church!

I've been playing with my punches quite a bit, working on cards to encourage me that spring is really coming:

I sponged the raised image from embossing the Wisteria Wonder layer with the Wildfower Meadow Textured Impressions Folder with Wisteria Wonder ink to make it "pop".

After I adhered the Petite-Petals-punched flowers to the trellis, I realized you really can't see the trellis, but I like it anyway!

I stamped a sentiment from Feel Goods, and the teapot/vase image from Tea Party on the inside. I stamped the watercolor splotch from Happy Watercolor behind the flowers to add a little color to the Jet Black StazOn stamped image.

That's all for now. The spring forward to Daylight Savings Time has wiped me out!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Hexagon Hive and Nature’s Hello!

Posted on February 17, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been working on the dreaded taxes all day, but I had to switch to stamping after supper. I just couldn't stand it any more. I have a few more days until they have to go to the accountant, so I took a "stamping break"!

Quite often when I'm playing with a new product, I have more ideas than one card can hold, so if I have time I make another version. Such is the case with today's sample. I showed yesterday's and today's cards to my husband and his remark was, "they are the same . . . but different":

Two of the main differences: I used the flower from Natures Hello instead of Secret Garden, and I used a different piece of Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper behind the Hexagon Hive Thinlet. I stamped the Hardwood on the Hexagon Hive with Crumb Cake ink on the Sahara Sand. It gives it the look of old weathered barn siding.

I used a sentiment from Lovely Romance for the inside. I did not re-ink the Hardwood background before stamping on the inside layer. I just "huffed" on the stamp to re-moisten the ink before stamping. It gives it just a hint of the hardwood look but doesn't compete with the sentiment.

Here's yesterday's sample side by side with todays:
