Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I'm working on more swaps to mail out, so today I played with the Wild & Sweet stamp set, Sending Smiles Bundle, and He's the Man Designer Series Paper to create this card!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps1

Of course I stamped the raccoon image with Early Espresso ink on the Soft Succulent layer before embossing with the Timber 3D embossing folder!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps2

I cut the "Sending" word from the Sending Smiles bundle from both Early Espresso and Basic White card stock before adhering together with a thin line of liquid glue, then adhering to the card front also with liquid glue. I added a 1" x 4" strip of He's the Man Designer Paper to the left side of the card front. Raccoons and camping seem to go together, so this print was perfect!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Sending Smiles with Early Espresso ink, then added a 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip of the same He's the Man designer paper print to the left side of the Basic White sentiment layer.

Altogether a quick and easy card!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Easter Sunday April 17!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Easter Sunday April 17!

Hey there! I've been MIA for a few days while I work on the pile of memories that have been removed from my attic; sorting into sections for each of my children to go through and decide what they want to keep, throw away, or put in the yard sale. It's a daunting task, and even though we worked on it alllllll week, I still haven't gone through it all (the papers take the longest), and there's still more up there!

I have managed to get it sorted through enough to be able to have Easter Part 1 here today. Most of my kid's families will be here next Sunday to celebrate, but we will be celebrating Resurrection Day today with Kimberly's family.

Today I have juat a few cards to share. Not as many as usual, but hey, you probably are pretty busy today too, aren't you?

First, a card from Janace Charbonneau. She used Catch You Later from the January/June Mini Catalog (available thru June 30th) with Scalloped Contour Dies and retiring Greenery 3D embossing folders.

Stampin_up_catch_you_later_carolpaynestamps1

The inside sentiment is also found in Catch You Later.

Shelly Gruber used the retiring Wild Cats Bundle of stamps and dies with In the Wild Designer Paper and Animal Print Embossing Folder. to create her fun fold card. All of these products are retiring on May 2nd and are currently available to order, unlike many of the other stamp sets and products on the Last Chance Retiring List!

Finally, Lisa Miltakis used Wildlife Wonder for her masculine birthday card This set is carrying over to the New Annual Catalog starting on May 3rd, so you still have time to order!

Stampin’ Up! Whirling Sails!

Hey there! Today's card is created with the Give It A Whirl dies, Let's Set Sail Bundle, and the Gentle Waves Background stamp. I love seeing what I can fit into the window cut with the Give It A Whirl dies!

Stampin_up_gentle_waves_lets_set_sail_carolpaynestamps2

I split this greeting from Let's Set Sail into three parts so it could be read as you turn the dial on the card!

 I highlighted the words with Silver Foil stars, cut with a die from the Give It A Whirl set.

I used a sentiment from Sunny Sentiments. It's one of the best birthday sentiments in the Annual Catalog! I hope it doesn't retire. Demonstrators get to find out next Wednesday, the 23rd, when we get to see the new Annual Catalog early. Getting to see new products early is just ONE of the perks of purchasing the $99 Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Hey there! Today's card was created simply for fun, and I love how it turned out! I combined three stamp sets: Free As a Bird, Garden Birdhouses, and Eden's Garden Bundle to come up with this earthy but spring-like card!

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps3

After I adhered a layer of In Good Taste Designer Paper to the Crumb Cake card base, I then cut Soft Succulent Designer Paper with an Eden die and added it with tiny dots of liquid glue. I then used a Blending Brush to apply Crumb Cake ink over both layers to give it an aged, vintage look. I stamped the birds on the branch from Free As A Bird (I love those birdies and this set, I have my fingers crossed that it doesn't retire from the catalog next week!) with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, then singled out just one birdie to color with Stampin' Blends Markers. I cut him out with Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the fine tip of a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker before adhering him above the birdhouse with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the "sticks bow" by wrapping Linen Thread loosely around about three fingers a couple of times, tied in a bow, then cut the loops apart. I adhered below the bird with a couple of glue dots.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped the birdhouse from Garden Birdhouses with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, cut with my snips, and then colored with Naturals Stampin' Blends. It was also adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps6

I cut Soft Suede card stock with the label from the Eden dies, then stamped and heat embossed the Eden's Garden greeting with white embossing powder. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (carried over from the Holiday Mini) to pull it all together.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps7

Inside I stamped a Free As a Bird sentiment on In Good Taste designer paper with Soft Suede ink before adhering. I cut a bit more Soft Suede designer paper with another Eden Die to add below the sentiment with liquid glue. I finished off the inside with more Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Waves!

Stampin’ Up! Tropical Waves!

Hey there! Today I have a fun card for you I created with the Waves of Inspiration Bundle, Timeless Tropical stamps, and the Gentle Waves background stamp.

Stampin_up_waves_of_inspiration_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the Gentle Waves with Bermuda Bay, masking off the top third of the card with a piece of card stock to create the horizon. I then stamped the wave stamp from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set with Pacific Point. I finished my ocean with a die-cut wave from the Waves Dies.

I inked the palm trees from the Timeless Tropical set with Early Espresso and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Write Markers. I had masked a setting sun with a circle cut with a die as I used Blending Brushes to create the sunset with Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral ink. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the sun and in rings above it to give the look of the fading light.

Inside I finished the card with a mixture of images from both Timeless Tropical and Waves of Inspiration. Love both of these sets!
