Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Tidings & Trimmings!

Stampin’ Up! Christmas In July Tidings & Trimmings!

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card for my Christmas In July Week! Today's card is an easel-fold with the Tidings & Trimmings bundle again:
Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps1
I love how you can really feature the card front with the easel-fold!

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped one of the stockings from Tidings & Trimmings with Cherry Cobbler ink, then cut with a Christmas Tidings die. The trims peeking out of the stocking top are also cut with Christmas Tidings dies.

Stampin_up_tidings_&_trimmings_easel_carolpaynestamps3

I made sure I stamped the greeting before embossing the Very Vanilla layer with one of the Wintry 3D embossing folders.

I stamped and cut a Tidings & Trimmings star with a Christmas Trimmings die, then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to create the "stop" for the easel.

I love this Tidings & Trimmings card so much! I can't decide which one, yesterday's or today's, I like best!

I'll be back tomorrow with a card created with the Evergreen Elegance bundle for Wednesday's Christmas In July!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 11th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 11th!

Hey there! Vacation Bible School is over for the year and we had a really great week with a wonderful group of kids! We averaged between 70-80 kids each night. I always prepare for 100, so I never run out of packets!

It's time to get back to blogging, and I don't know of a better way than to start with a Sunday Swap Day! I have a whimsical and fun group of swaps to share today!

First, a fun little mini Post-it Note Easel by Stephanie Flath created with the Tailor Made Tags dies and Party Puffins!

Next, a Party Puffins card created by Joanne Cantrell.

Stampin_up_party_puffins_easel_carolpaynestamps2

How darling is that bow-wrapped fish?!

Stampin_up_party_puffins_easel_carolpaynestamps3

Cathy Miller used the Turtle Friends Bundle of stamps and punch to create her fun-fold card. She also used the Biggest Wish stamp set and Pattern Party Host Designer Paper.

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps1

I wasn't kidding when I said this was a fun-fold!

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps2

Susie Wood combined the Turtle Friends bundle with Layering Circles dies and You're A Peach Designer Paper. (YES! Those camo-print strips of background are the flip side of one of the You're A Peach DSP pages!)

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps3

We started with Stephanie Flath and we end with a Turtle Friends card created by Stephanie too! She used tiny pink hearts from the Shaker Shapes Pack above the turtle!

This little birdie and the sentiment are included in the Turtle Friends set!

Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss Butterfly Brilliance!

Stampin’ Up! Blackberry Bliss Butterfly Brilliance!

Hey there! Today I have a couple of sympathy cards to share with you, created with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle. Sympathy cards are not my favorite to make, but I really am happy with the finished result of these two very similar cards:

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps3

I started by inking the Butterfly Brilliance stamp with Blackberry Bliss ink, then stamping once on scrap paper. I then breathed on the stamp to re-moisten the leftover ink and stamped on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Very Vanilla. I then stamped over the butterflies with stamped-off-once Crumb Cake and the words image from Quiet Meadow.

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps1

I then cut the layer with a Scalloped Contours Die and then added Crumb Cake ink around the edges with a Blending Brush.

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps2

Finished card front with a strip of Blackberry Bliss Regals 6" x 6" Designer paper behind and a Blackberry Bliss die cut with a Meadow Die.

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps4

I cut out the "Thinking of You" with another Meadow die, Blending Brushed the edges, then mounted it over a piece of frayed 3/8" Fine Art ribbon.

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I stamped the same butterfly image for it's third stamping without re-inking, and stamped-off the Crumb Cake words twice before stamping each time. The sentiment is also from Quiet Meadow.

Stampin_up_brilliant_wings_quiet_meadow_carolpaynestamps6

The second card is identical to the first, with the exception of adding Clear Wink of Stella to the largest butterfly. The moisture in the Wink of Stella changed the color of the butterfly just a little bit.

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off for Father’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off for Father’s Day!

Hey there! Today I have another card created with the Hats Off Bundle. I created this one with my husband in mind for Father's Day.

 Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps4

I used a color combo of Sahara Sand and Evening Evergreen, which are the perfect colors for my farmer hubby! I embossed the Evening Evergreen layer with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder for some background interest. I stamped "DAD" on a separate Sahara Sand scrap and cut it out with the coordinating Hat Builder Die.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I decided to use Sahara Sand for my sentiment layer, stamping "You're The Best" from the Hats Off set with Evening Evergreen ink. I added the mountain/evergreens motif at the bottom with Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps7

I used the mountains/evergreens again on the envelope flap and front bottom left corner.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts & Pretty Flowers!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts & Pretty Flowers!

Hey there! Today I have a pair of cards to share with you created with the retiring Happy Thoughts stamp set and the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.

IMG_2194 (2)

After embossing Basic White with the Pretty Flowers folder I colored the raised images with Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, and Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends. I used the bullet end, not the brush tip, to color to have better control of how much ink flowed onto the paper.

IMG_2185 (2)

For this version I added a piece of Evening Evergreen designer paper, Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon, and a greeting stamped with Polished Pink ink.

IMG_2188 (2)

Inside:

IMG_2189 (2)

My second version is very similar, but I embossed Evening Evergreen card stock for the bottom front layer.

IMG_2196 (2)

I stamped the same greeting with Evening Evergreen ink and punched with the Double Oval punch.

IMG_2198

I embossed the envelope flap with the same Pretty Flowers folder.

IMG_2186

Which one do you like the best? Leave me a comment and I will put your name in a drawing to receive your favorite!
