Stampin’ Up! January Paper Pumpkin Sending Hearts!

Posted on January 21, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Stampin' Up!'s monthly crafting subscription box, Paper Pumpkin, arrived in my mailbox this week. The Sending Hearts January kit is absolutely adorable! I immediately made two of the eight cards included in the kit, as well as another with a few additional supplies!

The two kit cards:

Exactly as shown in the kit . . .

I did add one of the tiny Petal Pink epoxy hearts included in the kit. They come in several sizes including a few star-shaped flowers!

I stamped the second card according to the kit directions.

Here's a tip for stamping with photopolymer stamps that have smooth-surfaces, like the solid hearts in this image. Tap the stamp on your ink pad a few times, then stamp on scrap paper. Re-ink without cleaning the stamp to stamp on your card. I didn't do that when I stamped the heart on the left. The heart on the right is much better after re-inking after the first stamping.

I used one of the Petal Pink epoxy hearts here too!

After I made the kit cards I used the little snail stamp to make my own with a few additional supplies:

This sweet little guy coordinates with the Snailed It Bundle in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog! I heat-embossed him with white powder on Poppy Parade, then cut him out with one of the Heart Punch Pack punches. There were plenty of epoxy hearts to sprinkle around!

You can't order this kit. It's only available by subscription, which closes on the 10th of each month. However, you can subscribe now to the February Kit. I'm sure it will not disappoint. Give Paper Pumpkin a try!

Stampin’ Up! So Much Love Slim-Line!

Posted on January 7, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another slim-line card I created for a friend's birthday this past week. She is a papercrafter and is really into slim-line cards right now, so I couldn't resist making one especially for her!

I combined the floral image from So Much Love,

with a greeting from So Sentimental cut with a Stitched So Sweetly die:

I tied a double bow with Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon to pull it all together. I tied a bow then tied the ends of the ribbon wrapped and tied around the card around the bow to adhere. I added a glue dot under the knot to secure. I added a single Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone to coordinate with the Pretty Peacock ink.

Inside I used another So Sentimental phrase, flanked by more blooms.

Slim-line card dimensions:

Pool Party base: 8" x 9", scored lengthwise at 4"

Pretty Peacock layer: 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" – need two

Pool Party focal image layer: 8 3/8" x 3 3/8"

Basic White inside focal image layer: 8 3/8" x 3 3/8"

Pool Party 3/8" Sheer ribbon: about 36"

Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap for Jaxon!

Posted on January 6, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Did you get a chance to check out the new catalogs yet? If you haven't, click on the links on the sidebar to check them out!

Today's card was created for my grandson Jaxon's 9th birthday. His birthday is December 26th, but with postponing our family Christmas we had to celebrate his birthday along with our family Christmas on New Year's Day. We compressed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Jaxon's birthday all into one day! It was exhausting but fun!

I used the new Oh Snap stamp set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog to create Jaxon's card:

This set has so many cute images and words. I started with this "oh snap!" phrase,

which then coordinated with the "it's your birthday!" I colored the crocodile with my Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

Inside I used the same crocodile but paired it with more sentiments from the set.

Jaxon enjoyed his card much like any other 9 year-old would; he was more interested in the gift! But that's O.K. I don't need accolades from my grandchildren, I just want them to know how special they are to me. It's fun to hear the other ones saying "oooh, this card is from Grammie". I think everyone else enjoys the card as much or more than the birthday boy!

Here's a supply list for today:

Oh Snap Photopolymer Stamp Set	Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Basic White Medium Envelopes

The Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine is now available for you to order! This darling is perfect to keep right beside you as you craft! Order it from my online store with all the rest of your crafting supplies!

Order any amount online in January, receive this Grace’s Garden Card-of-the-Month. Stamped but without any sentiment inside, it includes an envelope and is mailed to you ready for you to customize for your recipient.

Stampin’ Up! Whale Done Pop-Up!

Posted on July 8, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another Whale Done card for you with an easy inside pop-up feature! The card's colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, and Whisper White. I embossed the Pool Party layer on the front and the envelope flap with the Seabed 3D embossing folder, which is from the Whale of a Time Suite. After embossing I sponged Pretty Peacock ink over the embossed images to make them "pop"!

I created the pop-up inside the card with Whisper White card stock and a 1/2" x 3" strip of clear window sheet. The big whale is punched from the Whale Of A Time 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper with the Whale Builder Punch, and I hand-cut the smaller whales from the same paper with my Paper Snips.

I also used the Whale Builder Punch to create the water spouting out of the whale's blow hole!

Stampin’ Up! Sunburst Sunflowers!

Posted on July 6, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's cards are with the Sunburst technique:

I created the background from three Flowers For Every Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper prints.

I used Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight from the Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. These 4 1/4" x 6 1/2" cards include a rectangle dotted border that perfectly frames the sunburst background, and the envelopes are lined with a coordinating print!

On the Bumblebee card I added sunflowers from Jar of Flowers, colored with Stampin' Blends and fussy-cut.

I added a greeting from Lovely You, punched with the Lovely Labels Pick A Punch. This punch is SO VERY NECESSARY! Two different punch ends, each with three widths: 1/2", 3/4", and 1. For this greeting I used a 1" cardstock strip.

Inside another Lovely You sentiment.

The Misty Moonlight card has another Flowers For Every Season sunburst background, and a bloom from Celebrate Sunflowers:

This greeting needed a 1/2" wide strip of paper, for a different look with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch!

The sentiments in Lovely You are so sweet!
