Stampin’ Up! Framed Florets!

Posted on November 14, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Over the weekend I attended a Stampin' Up! in-person event, the first in THREE YEARS. I was able to go with three of my team, and we had such a good time!

I have a couple of fun things to share with you today, the first of which is this card created with a Sneak Peek set from the next mini catalog, which begins on January 5th. The second thing is a Seasonal Sale that starts tomorrow. You will find the details farther down in this post.

The stamp set is called Framed Florets, the dies are called Framed Florets Dies, the the paper is limited edition while-supplies-last Fitting Florets Specialty Designer Series Paper. These supplies are available to order now!

After stamping the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cutting with the coordinating Framed Florets die, I used sponge daubers to lightly add Pool Party and Soft Succulent ink. I then added Clear Wink of Stella over the blooms to add some sparkle.

I added Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for little pops of coordinating color.

I created a pocket for a gift card by folding over the front about 1 1/2", added a 1 1/4" strip of Fitting Florets Designer Paper, then punched with a Label Me Lovely Punch.

The inside sentiment is also from Framed Florets.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Fall!

Posted on November 11, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! If you have been wondering what is going on with my blog, all I can say is right now I'm having a lot of trouble uploading photos to it. I've tried everything I can think of: restarting my laptop, updating my Windows, using my phone's hotspot instead of the house internet, trying to upload at varying times of day; you name it, I've probably tried it! What's really weird though is that I am able to upload and post the standard photos that I add to the bottom of every post, such as my Host Code, where to find the Host Code box in my online store, photos that accompany my monthly specials, SU! specials, etc, but I can't upload and post new photos!

If you are actually reading this post and seeing the Sending Fall card, that means I was able to post the pictures of it! Finally!

Note: After almost a month, I finally found that it wasn't anything I was doing wrong, it was my Blog Host, Typepad, that was having the issues!

I created this card with the Sending Fall Bundle. I've created a card similar to this one but with a spring-like look. You can find that card HERE.

I used the Sending Dies to cut the two the two layers for the word. I cut the solid background from Cajun Craze, then cut the top detail word from Basic White with Adhesive Sheet on the back so all I had to do was remove the backing and it was easy to apply to the background. I adhered the word to a circle I had cut with a Stylish Shapes die from Gold Metallic Paper. I stamped the "birthday wishes" with Mossy Meadow ink on Basic White, then cut with another die from the Sending Dies pack. I finished off the look with a Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dot.

I stamped the background with the Sending Smiles stamps and Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, and Mossy Meadow inks.

I stamped the inside with more images from the front and a sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Birthday for Grace!

Posted on October 25, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy weekend again! Every year sometime before Christmas all of the "Payne Girls" (my daughters, teen granddaughters, and daughter-in-laws) go shopping together one Saturday. For a long time it was always after Thanksgiving, but a few years ago we started going before Thanksgiving, which actually works better for me as I can then get a better handle on my present-buying. When you are buying gifts for 25+ peeps, it takes a while to get it organized. I've figured out a good way to keep track, which involves putting Post-It Notes on gifts as I put them in my cart in the store and keeping a small notebook in my purse to keep track.

This year with Faith expecting Wesley the first of December she requested we go in October as she really didn't feel comfortable traveling over an hour from home and doctor so close to her due date, so we were glad to get to all go together on Saturday! I did get a good start on my shopping, so now if I can just keep going and get it all wrapped sooner rather than later! haha!

I realized I hadn't shared the card I made for Grace's birthday in September with you yet, so here it is!

I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set and Hello Harvest Bundle to create this fall-themed card with a birthday message.

For the front greeting I used a sentiment from Hello Harvest, stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

I used an inkpad-dragging technique to ink all of the leaves, starting by inking the leaf first with Pumpkin Pie, then dragging the edge of the Cajun Craze pad along the outside edges of the leaf. After stamping Very Vanilla with one of the leaves, I stamped the Hello Harvest pumpkin over with Cajun Craze ink, then cut with a Rustic Pumpkin die. As I added Clear Wink of Stella all over the pumpkin I found that the Wink of Stella solution slightly picked up the stamped Cajun Craze ink and moved it as I painted with the brush to give the pumpkin the all-over orange blush look! Wink of Stella also intensified the colors of the leaf.

I finished off the inside with the banner sentiment from Hello Harvest.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday October 4 AND Free Shipping Day!

Posted on October 4, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was so busy last week and over the weekend there was absolutely no time to post! Today is free shipping day on all orders of at least $75 or more from Stampin' Up!, so today should be busy too! I have two of my granddaughters with me today as well. Fiona is here for two days and nights in a row and Cyndal is here today so I can take her to Tuesday School this morning for her mommy so my son Ben can continue to borrow their extra car until he finds one to replace the one that was wrecked when he hit a deer.

Before I share a few swap cards with you, I need to remind you that today is Free Shipping Day on all orders of $75 or more from Stampin' Up!

The first card I want to share with you today was created by Jan Farring with the Christmas Barn Bundle and Texture Chic Specialty Designer Paper. She used the Bay Window Fold too!

I love how detailed the barn image is. It really doesn't need any color added!

She used a sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set, stamped with Soft Suede and cut out with a Stitched Rectangles Die.

This swap created with the Christmas Scottie Bundle and Tahitian Tide, Basic Black and Basic White. The background was embossed with one of the two Eucalyptus 3D embossing folders. I currently have misplaced this card so I cannot tell you who the creator is, but as soon as I find it I will add the name here!

Finally, I really love this z-fold card created with the Forever Friendship stamp set! Again, I'm not sure where it is located at my home right now so I can't tell you the creator's name.

The touches are lovely, with the Real Red stamped "thank you's" cut out and added over the sheet of paper in the typewriter and the bit of black & white gingham ribbon!

The inside sentiment is also from Forever Friendship.

Here are the supplies used for today's cards. Shop for them (and get free shipping on orders of $75 or more today only) in my online store!

Stampin’ Up! True Beauty!

Posted on September 22, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a couple of really pretty swaps to share with you created with the True Beauty Bundle!

For this soft & pretty card, Dena Rekow used the True Beauty stamp set with a color combo of So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party on Basic White with a card base of Crumb Cake.

Before she stamped anything, the used an Artistic Mix Decorative Mask and a Blending Brush to lightly add the stenciled design on diagonally on the right side. Sooo pretty and easy! She also used a sentiment from Cottage Rose, stamped with Tuxedo Black ink, and then used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to flick speckles lightly. She cut both white layers with the Deckled Rectangles Dies for a pretty, torn look without the tearing.

Sue Kempton Miiller also used the True Beauty stamp set, as well as the Organic Beauty dies that make up the True Beauty Bundle. I love the trellis/lattice looking die she used to cut the Basic White layer! She also used a couple of Stitched Rectangle Dies to create the Blackberry Bliss frame. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiment stamp set, cut with a Sentiment Silhouettes die.

The images in the True Beauty set have such a soft, watercolor look. Sue stamped the flower with Polished Pink, the leaves with Old Olive, and cut with Organic Beauty dies. She added a bit of Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Ribbon, then frayed the ends.

This card is a "w" fold!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints from Stephanie!

Posted on September 20, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm sorry there was no blog post yesterday. Sunday night when I was working on my post the online service I use to add my watermark to my photos refused to work properly, so I took it as a sign that I needed to just go to bed, so I did! I was extra tired from a busy weekend of a stamping party on Friday night, a craft fair on Saturday, and the usual church and family dinner on Sunday. I even got to babysit for Scarlett for a couple of hours Sunday night! It was a weekend, but I was tired.

So today I'm starting a series of sharing some special swaps I have received over the past few months that I have been saving for just such a series! So expect to be wow'd over the next few days, ok?

The card I'm sharing today was created by my friend Stephanie Flath!

Stephanie used the Nature's Prints stamp set and an easy ink-dragging technique to give this card a unique look!

Stephanie started with a strip of Basic White, then used the open ink pad to drag some color on it. She started with Fresh Freesia on the left side, then dragged some Pool Party, then Old Olive, and finally Daffodil Delight. After she let the ink dry a few seconds she stamped the foliage spray with Tuxedo Black ink randomly.

She stamped the greeting from Nature's Prints with Tuxedo Black ink on Basic White, then stamped the same greeting again on a scrap of Daffodil Delight. She used Paper Snips to cut closely around just the "heartfelt" word on the Daffodil Delight, then added it to the full stamped greeting. She cut it out with a Stylish Shapes die, then added to her card with dimensionals. She added a couple of Pool Party Glossy Dots.

Before she added anything to the card front she used the splatter stamp included in Nature's Prints to add more interest to the bottom edge of the card, then added a Daffodil Delight Glossy Dot.

This technique and card layout would be perfect for many different types of cards! I'm going to use both in the near future!

Stampin’ Up! Lights Aglow!

Posted on September 17, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a set of cards to share created with the Lights Aglow Suite of products found on pages 30-33 of the July/December Mini Catalog.

First, I have two different color versions of the same card, one with Soft Succulent and one with Cherry Cobbler! Which one do you like best?

These two cards combine heat embossing with gold powder with lots of fun die-cutting. The tree is embossed on Evening Evergreen card stock and cut with a Twinkling Lights die. The "pokie-holes" at the top with gold Glimmer specialty paper shining through was cut with a Labels Aglow die.

The tree is decorated with Festive Pearls! This pack of pearls are Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent, Silver, and Gold!

The greeting is stamped with a Brightest Glow image and cut with a Labels Aglow die. Gold & Vanilla 3/8" Satin Ribbon has been looped behind the greeting label before it is attached with dimensionals.

The Soft Succulent version:

The Stars Treat Bags are enhanced with a piece of the Glimmer Specialty paper adhered inside.

This card also uses the Star Treat Bag, but the bag has been cut apart to add a layer to the front! It makes a great background for the rest of the embellishments and the greeting.

Stampin’ Up! Season of Chic Embossed Snowflakes!

Posted on September 14, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card to share with you created with the Season of Chic Bundle. This set, found on page 99 of the Annual Catalog, is an all-purpose set, filled with images and phrases to fit multiple occasions. It is a perfect addition to your stamping stash!

I used this bundle to create an icy and sparkly Christmas card!

I started with a layer of Basic White, 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I stamped it all over randomly with the snowflake found in the Season of Chic stamp set and Versamark ink, sprinkled the layer all over with white embossing powder and then heated with my Heat Tool. Next, I stamped the splatter stamp, also found in Season of Chic, between the snowflakes with Versamark, then repeated the embossing technique with white embossing powder. After the embossing cooled for a few seconds I then applies Balmy Blue ink with a Blending Brush, starting off the layer and swirling on the ink until I achieved the intensity of color I liked. I cut this layer with one of the largest Deckled Rectangle Dies.

I wrapped a length of White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding around the layer, tying in a bow with a piece of Tahitian Tide 1/8" Metallic Ribbon as a second bow before adding to the prepared Balmy Blue card base and Basic White mat layer. I added this top layer with dimensionals.
I also stamped the snowflake with Balmy Blue ink on a scrap of white, cut with the coordinating Chic die, then pressed the Versamark inkpad directly on the snowflake. I then sprinkled with Clear embossing powder to heat and give it a smooth raised finish. I repeated this step a couple more times to build up the embossing and make the embellishment a bit more sturdy. I punched a hole through the top of the snowflake with a retired 1/8" hand-held punch, then threaded the Tahitian Tide ribbon through before tying the final bow.

I stamped the "Merry Christmas" from Hope & Peace with Balmy Blue ink on a white scrap, stamped around it with the splatter stamp with stamped-off-once Balmy Blue ink, then cut with the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die. I added it to the lower card front with dimensionals and added a few random rhinestones for some sparkle.

Inside I stamped a couple more snowflakes with Balmy Blue ink, then added a sentiment from Season of Chic. I thought it was rather appropriate for a Christmas card or even a Christmastime birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day September 11th!

Posted on September 11, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday, which of course means it's time to share some swaps! We are going to my oldest daughter's church today to see our grandson, Jaxon, be baptized. We are so thankful he has decided to accept the Lord as his Savior and follow Him in obedience of being baptized!

Today I have an eclectic group of cards to share with you. No theme this week, just cute cards!

First, a card with the Alphabest bundle of stamps and a punch by Rachel Coon!

Next, a simple card with the Charming Sentiments Bundle and Design a Daydream Host Designer Paper created by Nikki Barnhart.

Karen Titus used the Cheerful Basket Bundle to create her swap.

Kathy Johnson also used the Cheerful Basket Bundle with Tahitian Tide card stock embossed with the Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.

Finally, Rachel Traudt combined the Design a Daydream Host Designer paper with a sentiment from Limited Edition.

Here are the clickable supply links for today's cards. Give me a holler if you need any help!
