Stampin’ Up! Game On!

Posted on July 30, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm working on the birthday cards for the August Birthdays this Sunday. I won't tell you who this card is for, but they don't pay much attention to my blog or Facebook, so they probably won't see it!

My family loves to play games; board games, card games, video games, yard games. If there's the word "game" in it they probably want to play it! I've even known them to play TWO games at the same time all sitting around my dining room table!

I used a new Annual Catalog set, Game On, to create this rather masculine birthday card. And yes, there's actually two of them in this picture. I try to make two of every card I create; one to give and one to display!

I stamped the background repeatedly and collage-like with the die and the checkers/chess board images with Tuxedo Black ink on the Crumb Cake layer. The cards are stamped on Whisper White and then hand-cut (there's no dies with this set), but the lines are straight so it was easy to do. I just make sure I leave a little bit of white around the stamped image so the edges look smooth. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a pop of color and bling.

I love this sentiment! Perfect for a gamer's birthday!

The chess image is so gorgeous I couldn't resist using it!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Garden Positive Thoughts!

Posted on July 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I pulled out another of my favorite sets, Positive Thoughts. I wanted to create another card to feature the Butterfly Gems that are my ordering gift this month when you spend $50. I also used Ornate Garden Specialty Designer paper and the print I chose coordinated beautifully with Pear Pizzazz, making the Terracotta Tile Butterfly Gem really "pops"!

I heat-embossed the blooms with white powder on Bumblebee card stock, then cut with a Nature's Thoughts die. After stamping the greeting with Terracotta Tile ink I punched with the Tailored Tag. I added a bow tied with the Old Olive ribbon in the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack.

After stamping the butterfly with Terracotta Tile and cutting with a Nature's Thoughts die, I added Clear Wink of Stella. Stella will smear classic ink of you keep brushing a bit, so it worked just the way I wanted to pull some of the ink into the white areas. I bent the butterfly slightly in the middle before adding it with a glue dot.

I added one of the tiniest Terracotta Tile Butterfly Gems for another pop of color. The Pear Pizzazz rectangle was also cut with a Nature's Thoughts die, reminding me that I need to use these dies more often!

This Positive Thoughts sentiment is perfect for so many cards and occasions!

Stampin’ Up! Fluttering Hippo Happiness!

Posted on July 17, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Cyndal's 2nd birthday is another one in July, so I played with the Hippo Happiness Bundle to create a card just for her. Like I often do, I made two cards, one to give to Cyndal and one to keep for display!

I used Artistry Blooms Designer Paper and the Hippo & Friends dies:

The butterfly is a two-step image for the wings and body, then stamped with the face and the flight trail. The "fluttering by" phrase is actually "fluttering by just to say hi", but I omitted the latter part with Scotch tape while inking. I then removed the tape before stamping, which is an important step not to forget! lol!

Inside I stamped "just to say" from the same sentiment used on the front but omitting the first part and "hi" with tape while inking. "Happy Birthday" is from the Here's a Card stamp set. I embossed the Daffodil Delight layer with the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Beauty Triple Time!

Posted on July 16, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Masculine cards can be hard to design, but I played with Nature's Beauty and the Triple Time technique to create these 3 cards, one of which will be for my avid hunter son-in-law!

I used a Cinnamon Cider card base and mat layers. After stamping the deer in stamped-off Cinnamon Cider I added trees, rabbit, and speckles with Crumb Cake. I added the fox with stamped-off Cinnamon Cider, and finished with a few Cinnamon Cider In Color Enamel Dots and a simple knot of Cinnamon Cider 1/4" Ribbon.

Inside I used two sentiments from Itty Bitty Birthdays.

For card #2 I stamped directly on a wood grain print from In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. Less can sometimes be more when you are working with this gorgeous paper!

I accented the greeting from Itty Bitty Birthdays with snippets of Cinnamon Cider punched with the Classic Label added to each end.

Inside I combined sentiments from Here's A Card and Itty Bitty Birthdays with the gorgeous winter trees from Nature's Beauty.

My third card combines the Triple Time stamping with the In Good Taste wood grain print:

I stamped the greeting directly on a 1/2" x 2 1/4" strip of the wood grain print, then added the Classic Label snippets.

Inside:

Now, which card goes to the birthday guy?
