Stampin’ Up! Serene Scenery Sheltering Tree!

Posted on October 5, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are still waiting for baby. We even went shopping for a few hours last night in hopes of getting labor started, but so far nothing is happening. Babies come when they want to, don't they!

Today's card is a super-duper easy one I created while I still had the Sheltering Tree set on my crafting table. Super easy because I stamped the tree and the greeting on a piece of Serene Scenery Designer Paper and it looks fabulous!

The photo-journalistic look of Serene Scenery gives this card so much texture, you really think you can FEEL it!

I stamped everything with Early Espresso. The font of Stylized Birthday coordinates perfectly with the starkness of the tree.

The only think even slightly fiddly with this card is the ribbon. I sponged Gold 1/4" Natural Trim with Early Espresso ink to match. After adding color with a sponge dauber I rubbed it through a paper towel a few times to remove the excess ink. I tied it in a simple knot and trimmed the ends.

Inside I kept it simple by stamping this fun sentiment from Suite Sayings.

This card hardly took any time at all! Quick and easy in a snap!

Stampin’ Up! Birthday Bouquet Banners!

Posted on March 9, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My bout with sickness put me waaaaay behind this week, but I've learned to expect the unexpected and just go with what I'm given. I'm working away at it even though I know I can't get everything done or the way I wanted it.

Today I have two cards, both made with Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper and Birthday Blooms stamps:

They are very similar, but up close you can see the subtle differences.

The layout, colors, sentiment, designer paper, and ribbon are the same, but this one is simpler with the Silver 5/8" Satin bow low on the front:

I made the flat card first, heat-embossing the greeting with white powder before deciding it needed a bit of texture. After white-heat embossing the greeting and adding the Banner Triple-punched paper strips with SNAIL, I embossed the Pool Party/designer paper layer with the Decorative Dots folder:

I also raised the ribbon bow near the top . Which one do you like best?

I did the inside similar but different as well. Here's the inside of the flat-front card:

And the textured card inside:
