Stampin’ Up! Backyard Basics Butterfly Flower Card!

Stampin’ Up! Backyard Basics Butterfly Flower Card!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's a rainy, dreary day here, so I decided to share my bright and happy Backyard Basics Butterfly flower card with you today:

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_1 - Copy

I think this card would brighten up just about any day!

I used the "faux silk" technique on the butterfly again, just like I did on my previous Backyard Basics card HERE. I used Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write markers on my stamp before stamping on my tissue paper, then covered my scrap of Whisper White cardstock completely with an Anywhere Glue Stick. After crumpling and re-opening the stamped tissue, I gently smoothed it over the glue, leaving a few creases and bumps to help give it that "slubbed silk" look. (Kimberly's wedding dress was slubbed sik, so I know what that is supposed to look like!) I perfectly "cut" the butterfly with the coordinating Backyard Basics Framelit.

I cut the Daffodil Delight card base and the Tangerine Tango layer with Floral Frames Framelits, then embossed them with the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder.

A phrase from Petite Pairs, punched with the Word Window and bracketed with a couple of Brights Candy Dots invite you to open this card:

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_2 - Copy

Inside I repeated the layer shape, this time with Whisper White, stamping the coordinating phrase from Petite Pairs and a couple more butterflies!

I finished my ensemble by stamping another butterfly on my Whisper White envelope and lining it with a bit of Daffodil Delight Designer Paper cut with one of the Envelope Liner Framelits.

That's all for now, but tomorrow is the 15th, so be sure to come back to take the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! Our group's theme is "Congratualtions!", so be ready to be WOW'd with some great ideas!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Here's the supply list for today's project. You can purchase what you need from my Online Store or click on any image below and you will be taken directly there!

Stampin’Up! Backyard Basics Faux Silk!

Stampin’Up! Backyard Basics Faux Silk!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a fun day today! One of my downline, Joyce, has started a second direct-selling business, Origami Owl, and she had her Open House to get started today. Fortunately  I had time to go, so I did! I had heard about Orgami Owl for awhile, but had never actually been to a party, so I was naturally curious. Pretty stuff!

I hope you will consider the card I have for you to be "pretty stuff":

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_1 - Copy

What do you think? I think it is "pretty stuff"! I stamped the iris from Backyard Basics on tissue paper, crumpled the paper into a ball, gently but not completely smoothed it back out, then adhered the tisuue to a layer of Whisper White cardstock with  a Stampin' Up! Glue Stick. I wrapped the tissue around to the back side of the cardstock and adhered with more Glue Stick.

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_1 - Copy - Copy

The result (although I must apologize for the blurry picture!) is a slightly creased and rumpled look, reminiscent of silk! I added strips of Rhinestones again. It's amazing how I have hoarded these for a long time, and now suddenly I've used them on two cards in a row! I added one single rhinestone to the center of the Vintage Faceted Button too!

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_2 - Copy

Inside I stamped the butterfly from the same set directly on the Whisper White layer, stamping off on scrap paper beforehand so it would have a lighter look. I did a "faux silk" butterfly by stamping on the tissue, crumpling, unfolding, glueing to cardstock, then cutting it out with the butterfly Backyard Basics framelit!

That's all for now. The supply list for today's creation is shown below. Clicking on any image will take you to my Online Store where you can shop and order!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Scalloped Tag Topper Bunny Box!

Stampin’Up! Scalloped Tag Topper Bunny Box!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've had a fun day today, creating and CASEing some new projects! The first one I want to show you is another project you can choose to make at my Happiest Day Class this Friday. I was inspired by Michelle Last of the UK to make these bunny boxes:

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_1

I made a few minor changes, but the basic construction is all Michelle's. You can view her video and instructions HERE. I hope after you view her instructions you will be inspired to come back and purchase your Stampin' Up! supplies from me in my online store. (USA residents cannot purchase from UK demos and vice-versa)

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_2 - Copy

I added little "bunny tails" to mine with hearts punched from Blushing Bride Patterns Designer Paper and the Small Heart Punch.

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_6 - Copy

The box opens and can hold several pieces of chocolate! (is there any other kind of candy?)

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_3 - Copy

I added an easter-egg basket to the Early Espresso bunny with the Large and Extra-Large Oval punches, the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack for the "eggs", and the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder for the baskets' "weave".

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_4 - Copy

When you watch Michelle's video, she will give you some tips for cutting the flower stems with the Fringe Scissors! You tie the twine around the stems before you make the final cut from the cardstock, an ingenius way to keep the stems together as you tie the bow!

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_box_5 - Copy

I stamped and cut out this bunny's egg with the Backyard Basics Bundle of stamp set and Big Shot framelits.

That's all for now. I hope you are now inspired (and instructed) by Michelle's video to make your own bunny boxes! If you have any questions, you can just leave me a comment or email me: carol@carolpaynestamps.com

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Stampin’Up! More Easy Hoppity Baskets!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Hope you've had a good day. We had another reminder today that winter is not entirely gone with rounds of sleet, rain, and a threat of snow! Fortunately, the snow did not materialize, but it was pretty yucky here most of the day. A big change from Saturday when it was in the low 70's!

I hope you've enjoyed the Stamper's Dozen March Hoppity Hop Hop! If you missed it you can go back to THIS POST and hop through all 13 blogs to see what our group created for you!

Of course, you know I couldn't just make one itty-bitty basket and leave it at that! Here's a couple of sets of baskets I made for my hostess gifts for the rest of March.

The first set I inked the tulips from the Backyard Basics set with Melon Mambo and Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers and cut them out with the Backyard Basics Framelits before adding them to the baskets with Glue Dots. I also edged each basket with "grass" cut with the Fringe Scissors and butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_baskets_1 - Copy

I've already given a couple of these baskets away. I went a little overboard with my punches for these baskets. I used the Boho Blossoms Punch and the 1/2" Circle for the sunflowers, and the Real Red and Primrose Petals flowers. I used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack four-petal flower punch for the Rich Razzleberry flowers and scalloped-circle flower punch from the same pack for the centers of the Real Red flowers. All of the leafy stems are punched with the Bird Builder Punch.

Rhinestones and some Textured Impressions embossing finished it them all off nicely!

Stampin_up_punchy_baskets_2 - Copy

So what do you think of these little babies? Would you like one of your own? Every hostess from now on will receive a little hand-made project from me at their party!

In case you missed the tutorial, here's just the basket portion of my Hoppity Hop Hop handout:

That's all for now! I have a couple of new cards in the works, both using a new fold I call "Reverse Easel". Be sure to come back tomorrow to see the first one!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Backyard Basics!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Backyard Basics!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a perfectly marvelous day yesterday with my stampers at my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack! I can hardly wait to stamp some more on Monday!

For today's Sunday Swap Day I dug out a couple of swaps using Backyard Basics stamps and framelits from my monthly swap a few month's ago:

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_laura_milligan
Laura Milligan used Soft Sky and Smoky Slate with Backyard Basics for her calm and serene card above.

Stampin_up_backyard_basics_ruth_bingle
Ruth Bingle went with a similar soft color palette, using Wisteria Wonder instead of Soft Sky. I love her watercolored iris and smart little bow made with the Oval Punch!

The only thing I would add to these cards would be a greeting so they would "speak"!

This Sunday is a busy day with a bake sale after church, family lunch at our house (as usual), then  a Ladies' Friendship Circle meeting before church again!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
