Stampin’ Up! Paisley & Posies Pumpkins!

Posted on October 11, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a couple of cards I created with Paisley & Posies, Halloween Night Specialty Designer Paper, and Layering Ovals Framelits.

I mailed this card to my SIL, Harriett, last week.

I embossed a paisley from Paisley & Posies with gold powder, cut with a Layering Oval Framelit, then sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. I layered together with dimensionals to create the pumpkin.

I created the stem by cutting off the base of the tree trunk punched with the Tree Builder Punch. The tendrils are punched with the Sprinkles Punch.

I finished the inside with a sentiment from Suite Sayings and a pumpkin image from the September Paper Pumpkin.

I created a second pumpkin card with the same supplies, except I embossed my images with copper powder on Basic Black card stock.

I decided t give this pumpkin two tendrils, again using the Sprinkles Punch!

I used a sentiment from Better Together.

I also copper embossed the coordinating Better Together sentiment inside.

Stampin’ Up! Better Together for Christmas in July!

Posted on June 29, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've scheduled a Christmas in July class! Today's card is one I CASED from the catalog, but changed to fit my style. I used Better Together from page 83. Mostly a sentiment set, there are a few non-sentiment images included. I used a sample from page 82 to get started.

Some of my favorite colors for Christmas cards are Chocolate Chip, Cherry Cobbler, and Emerald Envy!

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the two sentiments in the tree shape. I used the Classic Label Punch for the trunk, paper-snipping it the size I needed.

I embossed the Chocolate Chip with the Holly Textured Impressions Folder, and used a strip of This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper on one side. I DISCOVERED!!!! This Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper has 24 sheets instead of the usual 12! The paper is lighter-weight than regular designer paper, but there are four sheets of 6 double-sided designs instead of the usual 2 sheets of 6 double-sided. It's a great value, if you want to make a bunch of cards!

The Crushed Curry star is stamped with a Better Together image.

Inside I used an image from Peaceful Pines for the sentiment.

Here's the supply list to use while shopping in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Better Together Wood-Mount Stamp Set [141733] $49.00	Better Together Clear-Mount Stamp Set [141736] $37.00	Peaceful Pines Photopolymer Stamp Set [139728] $26.00	Chocolate Chip 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [102128] $8.00

Stampin’ Up! Touches of Texture!

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I didn't get a chance to stamp all weekend, can you believe it?

So here I am on Monday morning working on some projects due this week, the first being today's blog post! After playing with bleach last week, I wanted to try different colors of card stock. Sweet Sugarplum, a new In Color, combined with Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White is super-duper!

I used the delicate spray of blooms from Touches of Texture, "inking" with bleach. After letting the bleach develop, I stamped a few Touches of Texture dragonflies, with Sweet Sugarplum, embossing with the Brick Wall Folder.

The bleach brought out a creamy white!

Simply pour a little bleach carefully onto a couple of folded paper towels on a plate, enough to wet the towels, but no puddles.

I white heat-embossed a phrase from Better Together on vellum, cutting with the banner framelit in the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlets. I rolled up a couple of glue dots to hide behind the "J" in just and the "e" in note to adhere to the card front under the Sweet Sugar Plum 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.

Inside I used a Greatest Greetings phrase and more dragonflies, lining the envelope with Playful Palette Designer Series Paper.
