Stampin’ Up! Birthday Blossoms for Mother’s Day!

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is created with the soon-retiring Birthday Blossoms, but I used it to make a Mother's Day card for my Mother-in-law. I originally planned to give her the card I blogged yesterday for the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop, but after I completed it I remembered her favorite color is purple and there wasn't a bit of purple on that card. She just turned 90, so if you like purple best, that's what you should have, right?

I used the same layout, Stitched Shapes and Layering Ovals Framelits, Pinewood Planks embossing folder, and Decorative Ribbon Border Punch, then used Mint Macaron for the card base and Blackberry Bliss for the aforementioned purple!

"CELEBRATE you" is very appropriate for Mother's Day, don't you think? I stamped-off the blossoms once before inking the white paper, then added a rhinestone to every center for some sparkle.

I tied the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon in a bow. It's just so frilly-looking, and is also available in Very Vanilla! You can start ordering these ribbons on June 1st!

Stampin’ Up! Rich Razzleberry Touches of Texture!

Posted on June 22, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a few more bleach cards left to share! Are you sick of this technique yet? I hope not! I hope you are inspired to give it a try!

For today's card I stamped bleach on Rich Razzleberry card stock and found Sweet Sugarplum!

I truly think this Sweet Sugarplum/Rich Razzleberry color combo is my favorite! Do you ever get on a "color kick"? I think I'm on this one right now! After stamping with bleach, I embossed with the new Sparkle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

We don't have Rich Razzleberry embossing powder, but you can emboss classic stamped ink when you work quickly after stamping to sprinkle with Clear embossing powder and heat.

You have a little extra time to get the clear powder on ink you've stamped on Vellum. After heating I punched with the Decorative Label Punch. I used strategically placed glue dots to adhere to the card. The sentiment is from Mixed Borders.

I tied Sweet Sugarplum 3/8" Ruched Ribbon in a bow for the finishing touch.

Inside I stamped another Touches of Texture image and a sentiment from Birthday Blossoms.

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise!

Posted on May 24, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Tuesday! Today I have a Z-fold card that I created with the new Pop of Paradise stamp set and Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper:

Flamingos! I've never been much of a flamingo fan, but the "Pop of Pink" product suite in the new Annual Catalog has really changed my mind!

If it's not stamped with Melon Mambo Classic ink, I've embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder! "A VERY special day" was gold embossed on Melon Mambo, punched twice with the Decorative Label Punch and then mounted on another full Basic Black Decorative Label. I flanked the phrase with a couple of rhinestones for a bit more bling!

There are a BUNCH of new framelits and thinlets dies to coordinate with new stamp sets in the new catalog, but unfortunately none to cut out the flamingo or the pineapple. HOWEVER, it was a snap to cut them both with my Paper Snips Scissors! I used little pieces of Pop of Pink paper for the background.

I embossed the center pineapple with gold, then stamped and cut out a "mask" from a Post-It Note to cover before stamping the pineapples to look like they are sitting behind the first one. The gold-embossed phrase is from Love & Affection, another new stamp set from the 2016/2017 Annual Catalog!

"happy birthday" is from Birthday Blossoms, a carry-over set from the current catalog. I love lining my envelopes with coordinating designer paper, don't you?

The new catalog goes live ONE WEEK FROM TODAY! I can hardly believe it! whoo hoo!

Until then, be sure to check out what's still available on the Retiring Stamps & Accessories List! You can view & order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Be sure to add some card stock to your order. Card stock prices in the new catalog are going UP!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Elegance for Kimberly!

Posted on August 24, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had our family celebration for all of the August birthdays yesterday. It was a lovely family day , and since August is also my birthday month, we decided to get KFC and a DQ ice cream cake to make it easy "cooking"! lol!

The card I'm sharing with you today I made for Kimberly's birthday. She just started selling Mary Kay a few months ago so I wanted to make her a card with a girly "make-up" theme:

I paired Timeless Elegance Designer Series Paper with the Birthday Blossoms set, adding Tip Top Taupe 1" Dotted Lace Trim, Basic Black 1/2" Striped Satin Ribbon, and Black Glimmer paper (coming soon in the Holiday Catalog!) for sparkle!

I created the "lipstick" with the diaper pin framelit in the Baby's First Framelits, and one of the labels in the Project Life Cards and Labels. I applied Crystal Effects over the Rose Red card stock for some shine.

I punched the Black Glimmer paper with the Tree Builder Punch tiny flower and made my own envelope with more Timeless Elegance paper and the Envelope Punch Board.

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Elegance Birthday Blossoms!

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Monday! yay! Tomorrow is my first full day babysitting for Liam and Darcy while their Mama teaches school, so I have lots to get ready!

Today I have another one of this month's Birthday Card Buffet to share. I used Timeless Elegance Designer Paper and Birthday Blossoms set:

I used Pink Pirouette and Mint Macaron with Sponge Daubers to color:

I added Gold Glimmer Paper, punched with the 1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch. I cut in half with Paper Snips to attach above and below the Washi Label greeting. Gold 5/8" Satin Ribbon blends the softness of the paper with the sparkle of the glimmer.

A tiny Pink Pirouette flower punched with the Tree Builder Punch and accented with the tiniest pearl are the finishing touch!

Inside I used Birthday Blossom stamps, sponged with color:

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on July 12, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday again, which means it's worship day and Sunday Swap Day! yay! All of these swaps I received in the monthly card swap I participate in. I send in 21 full cards to Carol Nordquist in Minnetonka, MN, and I get back 20 all different cards.

First, Nancy Hall used a fun fold with Timeless Elegance Designer Paper and the new Birthday Blossoms set:

Inside:

Next, Jackie Ordway combined Pink Pirouette with Basic Black for this classic look with the Fluttering folder, Gold Glimmer paper, and a Metal Rimmed Pearl:

Kim Allen used the yummy "Sprinkles on Top" set for her creation, using the 3/4" Circle to punch out the "donuts":

Finally, Rhonda Bassler combined the English Garden Designer Paper, Brick Wall folder, and the Watercolor Wings set to end up with this beauty:

I'm really loving the new Washi Label to punch out greetings, and the Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim adds such a nice touch!

That's all for now. You can find everything you need to make these cards in my online store: carolpayne.stampinup.net
