Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral with Gilded Leafing!

Posted on December 30, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have my last sneak peek with the Fine Art Floral Suite. This card has a decidedly Asian feel to it and I used new Gilded Leafing from the suite to create the background.

This card turned out to be gorgeous and I love it. However, the Gilded Leafing is a challenge to use so unless you are up for a mess I wouldn't recommend it to the faint of heart.

Let me explain. I started off by stamping the bloom repeatedly on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Basic Black with Versamark, sprinkled the with the Heat & Stick Powder from the suite. You need to be very careful when heating Heat & Stick; it's very easy to overheat and then it won't be sticky. I used my heat tool from the underneath side of the card stock to keep from overheating. Then I laid the sticky layer in a tray and sprinkled the Gilded Leafing over the entire piece. I smashed the leafing into the sticky with my fingers and then used a dry brush to flick away the excess leafing. This took awhile and lots of tiny pieces flew everywhere; it was impossible to keep it all in the tray.

Unless you are fond of cleaning up tiny bits of leafing from your work surface, hands, and clothes, I'd leave this off your wish list. Sorry to give it a poor review, but I wouldn't want you to be misled. I will probably play with it again, but I'm also going to re-create this card with gold heat embossing for a much cleaner result. After stamping the bloom with Poppy Parade ink I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated with my Heat Tool. I cut it and the Mossy Meadow-stamped stem with Floral Gallery Dies.

The inside sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral Sneak Peek #3!

Posted on December 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing my favorite card I've created so far with the Fine Art Floral Suite! I paired the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (also known as DSP) with a Flirty Flamingo card base and a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts set:

I added 1/4" Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding, tying in a little bow, and three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle.

After punching the birthday greeting with the Story Label Punch I punched Flirty Flamingo with the same punch and then cut it in half to add to the back side leaving a space in the middle to create a mat of the same shape.

Easy-peasy!

I stamped another Happy Thoughts sentiment inside, as well as one of the blooms from the Art Gallery stamp set with Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade ink.

Stampin’ Up! Another Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another card I created with the Fine Art Floral Suite! This time I created a "book-style" card so I could feature both sides of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper:

For this card I only cut out the "just" from the "just want to say" die cut to coordinate with the "thinking of you" sentiment. Originally "I'm thinking of you" in the Art Gallery stamp set, I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to omit the "I'm". I cut it out with a Floral Gallery Die, then layered on a strip of Basic Black. I framed it with a Gilded Gem on each end to complement the strip of Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate I added over the Basic Black "spine" of the card front.

I stamped the inside with a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, another new one from the January/June 2021 Mini Catalog. See how pretty the other side of the designer paper I used for the front flap is? I have the measurements below so you can make a card like this one too!

Measurements for today's card:

Basic Black card base: 5 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored at 4 1/4"

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper front: 4" x 5 1/2"

Basic Black to cut "just": 1 1/2" x 3" greeting mat: 5/8" x 3"

Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate: 3/4" x 5 1/2"

Whisper White greeting strip: 1" x 3" inside layer: 3 3/4" x 4 3/4"

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper inside strip: 1/2" x 3 3/4"

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day December 27th!

Posted on December 27, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I can hardly believe I'm actually posting a Sunday Swap Day on SUNDAY! YAY!

We decided to stay home from church and watch it online again like we did last week. We are feeling MUCH better, but still tired and not up to our usual energetic selves yet. I've made the executive decision not to decorate my tree this year; I'm going to focus on getting the mound of presents wrapped and the house cleaned so we can host our family next Friday.

Today's swaps were all created by my lovely team member, Joanne Cantrell!

First, her creation with the Best Year Bundle of stamps and dies:

Next, she made this lovely card with the Fancy Phrases Bundle of stamps and punch:

She created this card with the Massive Thanks stamp set, Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder, and Ornate Style stamp set.

She used Nature's Beauty to create this masculine thanks card:

This pretty little card was created with the Summer Days Host Rewards set:

Timeless Tropical is the name of the stamp set used on this one:

Joanne used the Well Written dies and Well Said stamps to create this one:

She used the Well Written dies again to create this Magenta Madness card:

For her final creation, Joanne used the Zoo Globe stamp set with a fun fold!

So cute!

Supplies to order:

Best Year Bundle (English)	Best Year Cling Stamp Set (English)	Best Plaid Builder Dies
