Stampin’ Up! Treasures of Life!

Posted on May 6, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Lately I have noticed that many of my friends, stamping and otherwise, are becoming grandparents. In some cases they are even becoming great-grandparents, so the Treasures of Life stamp set from the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog is coming in quite handy! I sat down yesterday and made a small stack of these cards to have on hand:

I combined the sweet images and sentiments from Treasures of Life with the stacked hearts from another 2021 J-J Mini Catalog Set, Lots of Heart, and the coordinating dies, Many Hearts.

For the feminine version I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Soft Suede ink and white heat embossing.

I tied one of the sweet little charms I bought on Amazon with the Blushing Bride Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack, also found in the 2021 J-J Mini Catalog. I'll put the link to the charms right above my supply list at the bottom of this post.

I love the sentiments in the Treasures of Life set!

For the boy version I created essentially the same card, using Balmy Blue card stock and cutting the focal image with the smooth heart instead of the scalloped in the Many Hearts Dies. I tied the charm with the white twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack.

Stampin’ Up! Last Batch of Retiring Ornate Style Cards!

Posted on April 1, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the final five Ornate Style cards I've created over the past year. I don't think I realized I had created a total of 15 cards with this retiring set until I started gathering them up for these farewell posts, but the evidence is there in all of my blog posts! Wow!

First, I combined Night of Navy and Basic White (it was called Whisper White back then) to create this Ornate Style card. Check out the entire post HERE.

I used a simple masking technique for this Ornate Style card, then painted the blooms with White Craft ink and the leaves with Versamark using a Blender Pen. Check out the whole post HERE.

Next, I CASED a sample from the Annual Catalog to create this card with retiring (and discounted $13.60) Ornate Border Dies. Find the whole post about this card HERE.

I used retiring (and discounted $6.20) Ornate Garden Specialty Designer paper with retiring Ornate Style to create this bright and cheery sample. View the entire post HERE.

Last but certainly not least, I combine retiring Ornate Style Specialty Designer paper with the now retiring So Sentimental stamp set for this pretty card. Check out all of the details HERE.

I'm not done sharing samples with retiring sets. Stop by tomorrow for more ideas with products from the Last Chance Products Sale!

Stampin’ Up! Ducky Pizza Box!

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back! If you even noticed I've been gone awhile, I took a little break after my son's wedding. We are in the middle of some bedroom renovation, so something had to give, and blogging is one of the things that gave!

We aren't done yet, but I'm taking some time to get some blog posts scheduled with some cute projects I created before the wedding. Today's project features the cute Momma ducky from Fable Friends on a Mini Pizza Box!

This little momma looks ready for anything with her rain slicker and hat! (I think she needs galoshes, but I guess when you're a duck, that really isn't necessary, is it!) I colored her with Stampin' Blends. See the supply list below for the colors I used.

These little boxes are just the perfect size for treats, cookies, surprises, and even a gift card!

Stampin’ Up! One For All Three Ways!

Posted on July 9, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Before I put away One For All (for now!) I created a set of three birthday cards, "stepping up" each one as I went"

The first one has the girl and greeting stamped with Gorgeous Grape and the background embossed with the Tufted Dynamic Folder. I punched the corners with the Detailed Trio punch and added tiny pearls. A bit of Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon continues the delicate look.

For my next step-up, I inked the girl first with Highland Heather, then added Gorgeous Grape direct to the stamp with a Sponge Brayer.

Finally, I still added Gorgeous Grape with the Sponge Brayer, then added white accents to the centers of the Tufted background with a White Stampin' Chalk Marker.

I brayered the inside sentiment too for an ombre' look! The tiny flowers along the bottom are from Enjoy Life.
