Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail!

Stampin’ Up! Let’s Set Sail!

Hey there! Today's card is a modification of the "matchbook" I shared with you the other day. This fold is so easy and fun to make! I will put the dimensions at the bottom of this post!

Stampin_up_gentle_waves_carolpaynestamps1

I used the Gentle Waves background stamp with Misty Moonlight ink on a 4" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic White for the sailboat background. I stamped the sails with Real Red and Smoky Slate and the boat & mast with Night of Navy before punching with the coordinating Sailboat Builder Punch.

I added 1/4" x 4" wide strips of Real Red to the edges of the front layers for a pop of red color. I stamped the greeting from Let's Set Sail with Real Red ink, stamped the birds with Smoky Slate, and added a couple of In Color Square Gems in Misty Moonlight with a Red Rhinestone Basic Jewel in the middle.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Sunny Sentiments with Real Red and repeated the birds with Smoky Slate. I stamped the sailboat on the envelope front and the Gentle Waves on the envelope flap (not pictured)

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Friendly Hello!

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Friendly Hello!

Hey there! Today's card is a matchbook-style fold with the Friendly Hello Sale-a-bration bundle! I love this Fresh Freesia print from the designer series paper pack that comes with the Friendly Hello stamp set when you choose this as your $100 order gift!

Stampin_up_friendly_hello_carolpaynestamps1Fr

The stamped greeting looks really crisp in Tuxedo Black Memento ink! I colored the little buds with Fresh Freesia ink and a Blender Pen, then added touches of Clear Wink of Stella for some shine!

Stampin_up_friendly_hello_carolpaynestamps2

The Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon looks so pretty tied at the bottom of the "matchbook"!

Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia

Stampin’ Up! Calming Camellia

Hey there! Today I have one more card created with this simple layout I've been sharing with you for the past couple of posts. Today's card features the Calming Camellia stamp set that you can only get when you submit an order of at least $300, either your own personal order or a group of orders. It's such a pretty set, I hope many of my stampers are able to get it before it goes away permanently after February 28!

I stamped everything with Misty Moonlight ink and used Misty Moonlight card stock for the focal image mat layers both on the outside and inside of the card.

Stampin_up_calming_camelia_carolpaynestamps1

Calming Camellia is another DistINKtive stamp set, so it picks up the ink differently to give you the varying tones of color.

Stampin_up_calming_camelia_carolpaynestamps3

This greeting is also from Calming Camellia. I stamped the swirls, also included in the set, with the same Misty Moonlight ink. Misty Moonlight is an In Color that is scheduled to retire with the end of the current Annual Catalog on April 30th, so if you don't have this color of ink pad, ink refill, card stock, and the varying embellishments in this color I would recommend you add them to your next order because soon they will be gone forever! I also added a staple from my embellishment stash, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, for a bit of sparkle!

Stampin_up_calming_camelia_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I used another Calming Camellia sentiment, and more swirls.

Stampin_up_calming_camelia_carolpaynestamps5

The dimensions for this card:

Basic White Thick card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"

Basic White focal image layer (front and inside): 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" -need two

Misty Moonlight focal image mat layer (front and inside): 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" – need two

Place your order in my online store and you can choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure with a $50 purchase! There are 5 stamp sets, 3 designer series paper packs, and one stampset/designer paper bundle to choose from (one larger stamp set and the bundle are available to choose with a $100 purchase).

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers is Not “Just Another Flower” Set!

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers is Not “Just Another Flower” Set!

Hey there! Are you wondering about this post title? With every new catalog that comes along, I hear a lot of people, demonstrators and stampers, bemoaning the fact that Stampin' Up! keeps adding more new flower stamp sets to their offering. They want something "different", or "fresh". Well, evidently flowers sell, because I really don't think a company that has been successfully in business for over 30 years would keep offering a type of stamp set that didn't sell well!

The new Flowing Flowers stamp set from the January/June Mini Catalog is definitely NOT "just another flower set"! It is a new addition to the "Dist INK tive" line of stamps, and is so very, very pretty! Today's card is my first play with this set but it definitely won't be my last as I'm seeing so many more ideas pop into my head just after playing with it today!

For my card today I used a super-simple layout with just two ink colors, Evening Evergreen and Poppy Parade!

IMG_3495

The "DistINKtive" feature of these stamps lets you achieve more than one tone of color with just one inking of the stamp, as shown here on the Poppy Parade bloom:
IMG_3497

The font of the sentiments in this set are so simple but pretty, just like actual handwriting. I added a few clear teardrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials for a little sparkle.

IMG_3498

I was able to stamp the card front, inside, sentiments, and envelope all with the same stamp set!

IMG_3499

This is such a fun sentiment, perfect for today's world!

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers is Not “Just Another Flower” Set!

Stampin’ Up! Flowing Flowers is Not “Just Another Flower” Set!

Hey there! Are you wondering about this post title? With every new catalog that comes along, I hear a lot of people, demonstrators and stampers, bemoaning the fact that Stampin' Up! keeps adding more new flower stamp sets to their offering. They want something "different", or "fresh". Well, evidently flowers sell, because I really don't think a company that has been successfully in business for over 30 years would keep offering a type of stamp set that didn't sell well!

The new Flowing Flowers stamp set from the January/June Mini Catalog is definitely NOT "just another flower set"! It is a new addition to the "Dist INK tive" line of stamps, and is so very, very pretty! Today's card is my first play with this set but it definitely won't be my last as I'm seeing so many more ideas pop into my head just after playing with it today!

For my card today I used a super-simple layout with just two ink colors, Evening Evergreen and Poppy Parade!

The "DistINKtive" feature of these stamps lets you achieve more than one tone of color with just one inking of the stamp, as shown here on the Poppy Parade bloom:

The font of the sentiments in this set are so simple but pretty, just like actual handwriting. I added a few clear teardrops from the Silver & Clear Epoxy Essentials for a little sparkle.

I was able to stamp the card front, inside, sentiments, and envelope all with the same stamp set!

This is such a fun sentiment, perfect for today's world!

Stampin’ Up! In With the New!

Stampin’ Up! In With the New!

Hey there! It's Stampers Dozen Blog Hop time again! Our first theme for 2022 is "In With The New"! With 2022 just two weeks in, this could mean anything, but of course to the Stampers Dozen it means new products, new techniques, new ideas!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

For my project this month I decided to combine a new-to-me stamp and die bundle, Encircled in Friendship from the Annual Catalog, with the Daffodil Afternoon 12 x 12 Designer Paper found in the Sale-a-bration brochure. You can choose Daffodil Afternoon as your free gift when you spend $50 this month with me!

For this Daffodil Afternoon print (both the plaid and the floral are on opposite sides of the same piece of paper) I used a Flirty Flamingo card base. I cut the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of  DSP  into two pieces, 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" and 2 1/4" x 5 1/4".

I used an Encircled in Beauty die to cut Very Vanilla, then stamped with a floral Encircled in Friendship image with Flirty Flamingo. I then stamped the Encircled in Friendship greeting with Tuxedo Black ink. I backed the vanilla die-cut with a Flirty Flamingo layer cut with a Layering Circle Die. After adding a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels it was ready to adhere to the Daffodil Afternoon layer with dimensionals.

Here's a close-up of the largest-size Iridescent Rhinestones. They take on the colors of whatever project you put them with!

Inside I stamped the same floral image (stamped-off once) with Flirty Flamingo ink, then stamped another sentiment from Encircled in Friendship with the same Tuxedo Black ink.
