Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Scrappy Strips!

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I couldn't resist playing with the Scrappy Strips technique again, this time with the retiring Bird Ballad Designer Series paper!

I cut up lots of scraps of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to create this card. I also used a stamp set I love but haven't used enough, Here's A Card for the greeting and inside sentiment. I stamped the "Hello there" with Tuxedo Black ink, then stamped the single bloom from Free As A Bird with Pool Party before punching with the retiring 1" Circle Punch. I punched Pool Party with the retiring 1 1/8" Scalloped Circle Punch to mat behind it.

I cut a thin strip of Basic Gray card stock, then embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to create a faux ribbon. I hand-cut the birds on the flowery branch with Paper Snips to mount over the "ribbon" with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside I used another Here's A Card sentiment and stamped the Free As A Bird birds on a branch with stamped-off Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin’ Up! Spring Has Sprung!

Posted on April 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there stampers! Today is one of my favorite days of the month, Stampers Dozen Blog Hop day!

I combined two sets, Free As A Bird and Music From The Heart, with Balmy Blue and Blushing Bride, and Bird Ballad Designer paper on both!

After stamping with Tuxedo Black Memento, I colored the birdies with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

The January-June 2020 Mini Catalog set, Music From The Heart provided the musical images and sentiment.

After I made both a Blushing Bride and this Balmy Blue version I couldn't decide which one I liked best!

The Stitched Nested Labels dies are the best!

Inside:

I stamped-off the birdies once on the envelope!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Spring Blessings!

Posted on April 5, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Palm Sunday! In past years our church has presented a Palm Sunday program of song and pageantry depicting the final days of our Savior's life here on earth. Preparations were being made for this year's program, but of course, the pandemic put it on hold. I hope we are able to present it when life goes back to normal!

Today's cards all feature Easter themes, starting with this bright and cheery Timeless Tulips card by Barb Dykhouse.

After stamping the tulip on Whisper White, she cut it out with a Stitched So Sweetly die, and added the black "hello". To me this looks a bit like a postage stamp!

Here's a quick supply list for this card:

Timeless Tulips Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)	Scripty 3D Embossing Folder	Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Soft Sea Foam Classic Stampin' Pad	Stamping Sponges
Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Pad	Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad

Next, Jan Rodrian clear heat-embossed Free as a Bird on Daffodil Delight, cut with a Stitched Nested Die, then sponged with Daffodil Delight for a great spring look:

The supplies:

Free As A Bird Bundle	Free As A Bird Cling Stamp Set	Stitched Nested Labels Dies
Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper	Daffodil Delight 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Daffodil Delight Classic Stampin' Pad
Paper Snips	Embossing Buddy	Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder
Heat Tool (Us And Canada)	Stamping Sponges

The bunny from Fable Friends can be used for Easter, but he also looks like Peter Rabbit! Ruth Bingle stamped him on a layer cut with a Stitched Labels Die, colored with Stampin' Blends, and paper-pieced his jacket with the same paper as the background from Tropical Oasis Designer Paper! The greeting is also cut with a Stitched Labels Die.

Supplies:

Fable Friends Cling Stamp Set	Stitched Labels Dies	Tropical Oasis Designer Series Paper
Silver 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Pool Party 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Welcome Easter!

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm not usually a big Easter bunny fan, but these swaps I received are so cute and well done I can't resist sharing them! All three of these swaps were created with the Welcome Easter stamp set found on page 46 of the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog!

First, Kathy Johnson combined the Welcome Easter set with Bird Ballad Designer paper (yes, that striped print is from Bird Ballad pack, and the flowers are cut from another Bird Ballad print) and the Country Floral 3D embossing folder for her z-fold/gatefold card:

Next, Rhonda Bassler combined Welcome Easter with Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder, Daisy Delight and the Daisy Punch, Painted Labels and Stitched Shapes Dies, and 5/8" Organdy Ribbon:

Finally, Jeanne Ciolli expertly watercolored with Stampin' Blends markers on watercolor paper all three of the critters in the Welcome Easter set, then used them to create a waterfall card!

First, the chick!

Next, the lamb!

And the bunny!

The final flap is the fun "Happy Easter", complete with the tiny bumblebee!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird Ballad!

Posted on August 8, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I took the day yesterday to do some serious stamping and paper-cutting for my August workshops and classes, so today I'm sharing one of the cards we will be making at Donna's class with the Bird Ballad Designer Paper!

With the Bird Ballad Designer Paper it's not hard to just let the paper do the heavy lifting in determining the design. This paper is soooo pretty, it would be a shame to cover it up with a lot of layers!

I used a Stitched Labels Die to cut out the greeting from Butterfly Wishes.

I added a 1" strip of Terracotta Tile embossed with the Lace 3-D Folder, then finished the card with a bow tied with Braided Linen Trim.

Inside I colored the birdie with Watercolor Pencils, then blended the streaks with a Blender Pen.
