Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day September 11th!

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.

Stampin’ Up! Wisteria Wishes Triple Z-Fold!

Stampin’ Up! Wisteria Wishes Triple Z-Fold!

Hey there! Another whirlwind weekend for me! Friday I had a workshop in Marion, IL, Saturday I drove up to Shelbyville, IL for a cousin's funeral then went on up to Decatur to visit my 81 yr old brother, and then Sunday was our usual family dinner and afternoon hanging out with them. I finished up Sunday with a walk with my daughter-in-law, Grace and granddaughter, Scarlett, and a trip to the grocery store because I feel a real need to consolidate my trips to town with these ridiculous gas prices!

I spent Monday frustrated as I wrestled with my blog to get the pictures to load for this post. FINALLY late on Monday afternoon the pictures would finally post and I was able to finish it!

My card today is a Triple Z-Fold created with the Wisteria Wishes Bundle of stamps and dies, as well as the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper. The Wisteria Wishes stamp set is so pretty and in combination with the Wisteria Dies just begged me to create a card that I could hang the wisteria blooms. I used a z-fold card base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4", then added two z-fold arms, one across the top (to hand the wisteria) and one across the bottom (for standing stability) Each arm is 8 1/2" x 1 1/4", scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4". I turned the arms opposite the card base fold when I adhered.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

After adding strips of Design a Daydream Host Designer Paper (I seem to be hooked on that pack of designer paper right now), to mat layers of Mint Macaron card stock, I adhered the to the card base sections and the z-fold arms. I stamped the leafy branches with Soft Succulent ink, cut with a Wisteria die, then glued to the top z-fold arm. I stamped the wisteria blooms with stamped-off-once Orchid Oasis ink first, then used the accent stamp included in the set to add full-strength Orchid Oasis. I cut these with the coordinating Wisteria die and added to the branches with liquid glue. I stamped the "faith over fear" phrase from Charming Sentiments with Orchid Oasis ink, cut with a Sentiments Silhouettes die, then added to the front section with dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones for some subtle sparkle.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the "faith is about trusting" sentiment from Wisteria Wishes with Orchid Oasis in and punched with the Double Oval Punch.

Stampin_up_wisteria_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

I put the signature layer on the back of the card, cut with a Stitched Rectangle die. The sentiment, stamped with Orchid Oasis ink, is also from Wisteria Wishes.

Stampin’ Up! Starry Sky Tulip Fields!

Stampin’ Up! Starry Sky Tulip Fields!

Hey there! Today's card is another one created with the Tulip Fields Bundle! I can't believe I've waited so long to play with this set of stamps and dies, they are so fun!

For this card I decided I wanted to give it a bit of a "tile" look, so I stamped the windmill on four Basic White squares, each 1 7/8" x 1 7/8", with Starry Sky ink.

Stampin_up_tulip_fields_china_carolpaynestamps1

After stamping, I then pressed the Versamark ink pad directly on each square, sprinkled all over with Clear Embossing Powder, then heated with my Heat Tool. After letting the clear embossing cool for a few seconds, I then repeated the process with more Versamark, clear powder, and heating. I did a third round of clear embossing before I decided to be done. The squares were kind of warped from the heat and the thick layer of embossing, but I put several dimensionals on the back of each one to make them lay flat.

Stampin_up_tulip_fields_china_carolpaynestamps2

One thing you have to be careful of when using the Heat Tool is to not scorch the paper, which is what happened on the square on the left. I decided to leave it so I could show you what the scorching looks like.

Stampin_up_tulip_fields_china_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the birthday greeting from Charming Sentiments with Starry Sky ink on a scrap of Basic White, then cut with a Sentiment Silhouettes die. I finished off the front with a couple of Iridescent Rhinestones to flank the greeting.

Stampin_up_tulip_fields_china_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped another Charming Sentiments phrase and the windmill one more time with Starry Sky ink.

Tulip Fields and Windmill Fields dies will be on the Last Chance Retiring List starting on June 1st! The Windmill Fields dies will be discounted 50%, which will make ordering the stamps and dies separately a lot cheaper than buying the bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration!

Stampin’ Up! Waves of Inspiration!

Hey there! Today's card is a combination of three stamp sets. I have had this card idea rolling around in my head for a bit and just had to make it to get it out to make room for more ideas! lol! I used the Rays of Light background, Waves of Inspiration bundle of stamps and dies, and Charming Sentiments!

Stampin_up_waves_of_inspiration_carol_payne_stamps1

I started by inking the Rays of Light image with So Saffron by pressing the pad all over the rubber. I then used a Blending Brush to add Daffodil Delight and then Mango Melody. I pressed the layer of Basic White to the image, rubbed gently, and then stamped the birthday greeting from Charming Sentiments with Starry Sky ink.

Stampin_up_waves_of_inspiration_carol_payne_stamps2

I used the Stamparatus to add the Waves of Inspiration wave so I could re-ink with Starry Sky ink as much as I needed until I had the richness of color I wanted.

Stampin_up_waves_of_inspiration_carol_payne_stamps3

I finished off the front with the pilings and pelican image from Waves of Inspiration. I used Soft Suede and Tahitian Tide markers to ink up the image before stamping on Basic White. I cut it out with the coordinating Waves die. I decided I wanted to keep this card as flat as possible so I didn't use dimensionals, I simply used Stampin' Seal to adhere.

Stampin_up_waves_of_inspiration_carol_payne_stamps4

Inside I stamped another phrase from Charming Sentiments and the pelican again.

Stampin’ Up! Rays of Light!

Stampin’ Up! Rays of Light!

Hey there! Today's cards are the masculine companions of the cards I shared with you yesterday. I needed several graduation cards this year, for both nieces, nephews, and a grandson, so after making the cards for the girls, I pulled out the He's the Man Suite and my new Rays of Light stamp set to go along with more Charming Sentiments!

Stampin_up_rays_of_light_carolpaynestamps1

Just as I did with the feminine cards yesterday, I chose one sheet of He's the Man 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Paper, cut a 5 1/4" x 4" layer, then cut it into two pieces; 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" and 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", then flipped one piece over to use the opposite-but-coordinating side. I adhered the pieces to a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Early Espresso layer, then wrapped 15 inches of Sahara Sand twill ribbon (from the same ribbon combo pack I used the Old Olive from yesterday) and tied in a knot. When that was done I then adhered it all to the Sahara Sand card front.

Stampin_up_rays_of_light_carolpaynestamps2

For the focal greeting I inked the Rays of Light stamp with Versamark, then pressed a piece of Basic White on it. I sprinkled the clear, sticky image with Gold Embossing Powder and then heated with my Heat Tool. After letting the embossed image cool a bit I then cut with one of the scalloped circle dies from the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped "woo-hoo!" from Charming Sentiments with Early Espresso ink on Basic White, then cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes die. I adhered the sentiment to the embossed circle with glue dots, then adhered the circle to the card over the ribbon with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_rays_of_light_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

Inside I stamped "CONGRATULATIONS!",  from Charming Sentiments, with Early Espresso ink on  a 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic White. I adhered it to a 3 3/8" x 4 3/8" piece of Early Espresso, then added to the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of He's the Man Specialty paper I had already adhered to a layer of 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Early Espresso. I adhered all to the inside of the card.

Stampin_up_rays_of_light_carolpaynestamps4

Before closing up the card I stamped one of the screw images from He's All That in each corner.

Stampin_up_rays_of_light_carolpaynestamps5

I coordinated the envelope by adding a layer of He's the Man Specialty Paper to the flap and stamping "woo-hoo!" in the lower left front corner.

Stampin’ Up! Rays of Light!

Stampin’ Up! Rays of Light!

Hey there! Today's cards are the masculine companions of the cards I shared with you yesterday. I needed several graduation cards this year, for both nieces, nephews, and a grandson, so after making the cards for the girls, I pulled out the He's the Man Suite and my new Rays of Light stamp set to go along with more Charming Sentiments!

Just as I did with the feminine cards yesterday, I chose one sheet of He's the Man 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Paper, cut a 5 1/4" x 4" layer, then cut it into two pieces; 2 1/4" x 5 1/4" and 1 3/4" x 5 1/4", then flipped one piece over to use the opposite-but-coordinating side. I adhered the pieces to a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Early Espresso layer, then wrapped 15 inches of Sahara Sand twill ribbon (from the same ribbon combo pack I used the Old Olive from yesterday) and tied in a knot. When that was done I then adhered it all to the Sahara Sand card front.

For the focal greeting I inked the Rays of Light stamp with Versamark, then pressed a piece of Basic White on it. I sprinkled the clear, sticky image with Gold Embossing Powder and then heated with my Heat Tool. After letting the embossed image cool a bit I then cut with one of the scalloped circle dies from the Layering Circles Dies. I stamped "woo-hoo!" from Charming Sentiments with Early Espresso ink on Basic White, then cut with the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes die. I adhered the sentiment to the embossed circle with glue dots, then adhered the circle to the card over the ribbon with dimensionals.

Inside I stamped "CONGRATULATIONS!",  from Charming Sentiments, with Early Espresso ink on  a 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic White. I adhered it to a 3 3/8" x 4 3/8" piece of Early Espresso, then added to the 4" x 5 1/4" piece of He's the Man Specialty paper I had already adhered to a layer of 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" Early Espresso. I adhered all to the inside of the card.

Before closing up the card I stamped one of the screw images from He's All That in each corner.

I coordinated the envelope by adding a layer of He's the Man Specialty Paper to the flap and stamping "woo-hoo!" in the lower left front corner.

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments!

Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments!

Hey there! I created today's card with the Charming Sentiments bundle of stamps and dies and the Design a Day a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper. I made a small stack because I am going to use these cards for some of the nieces in our family that our graduating this month!

I chose this print from the Design a Daydream Host Designer Series Paper pack because it has the flowers on one side and the trellis design on the other. I simply cut a piece 4" x 5 1/4", then cut it at 3 1/4". I flipped one section over and adhered to the card front.

After adhering the layer to a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" piece of Blackberry Bliss, I wrapped 12 inches of Old Olive ribbon from the Old Olive & Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon Combo Pack and tied in a knot. I secured the knot with a glue dot, then adhered it all to the 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" Old Olive card base that is scored and folded at 4 1/4"

The Charming Sentiments Bundle is a real game changer for me! After stamping this sentiment with Blackberry Bliss ink I was able to effortlessly "fussy cut" it out with a DIE from the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes die set! This bundle has 17 stamp sentiments and 30 dies, one for each sentiment, plus bonus dies of candles, hearts, stars, etc. This bundle is a MUST HAVE!!!!

I finished off the card front with a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Inside I stamped a coordinating phrase from Charming Sentiments, then fussy cut a scrap of Design a Daydream paper to glue in the lower left corner.
