Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Hey there! I still haven't been able to do any stamping this week with Vacation Bible School still going on (two more nights!), but I remembered I had this card I'm sharing with you today in my stash. I had taken the pictures minutes before giving the card away!

I needed a masculine birthday card in a hurry one day last week, so I reached for the A Good Man stamp set and my new Give It A Whirl dies for some fun!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps1

I used three of the eight sentiments in this set to stamp in the three "windows" of the card.

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps3

The wheel you turn has little scallops on it to make it easier to grab with your finger. The simple contraption is secured in the center with a brad. The dies cut the holes for the brad as you cut out the pieces, so there's no guesswork of where to put the holes!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps4

This sentiment is my fave!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps5

Sentiment #3!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I used a sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I stamped the "HAPPY B-DAY" from Happiest of Birthdays on the envelope flap.

The give it a whirl dies may look complicated, but I was able to figure it out without having any written or video instruction. (I'm not bragging, they are just THAT EASY!)

Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Butterfly Brilliance!

Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Butterfly Brilliance!

Hey there! Today I have another pair of sympathy cards to share with you, again made with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, but with a completely different color scheme. I used Basic White, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, and White Craft ink.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps4

I created the background with one of the Basics Decorative Masks, Balmy Blue & White Craft ink, and Blending Brushes.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped one of the Butterfly Brilliance butterflies on white with Balmy Blue ink, then cut with a Brilliant Wings die. I added more Balmy Blue ink to the edges with a Blending Brush. After adhering to the card front with a couple of glue dots I added three Elegant Faceted Gems.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps7

The front sentiment is from Peaceful Moments.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps9

I used White Craft ink with the mask first, then slightly moved the mask before adding the Balmy Blue.

Inside I used another Peaceful Moments sentiment and flowers from Dragonfly Garden.

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 a Baby Boy!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off for a Baby Boy!

Hey there! I think I am finally recovered from the big Father's Day celebration we had here on Sunday! I worked all day Saturday getting the house ready. As a paper crafter,  I tend to have a lot of my supplies out where I can SEE them and FIND them, which sometimes means I do have messes to clean up! I also have been working on Vacation Bible School Crafts, so I also had those supplies to pack up to make room for the 26 members of our family to be together! It has taken me about two sleeps to recover! lol!

Today I have a simple card I created to go with a baby boy gift for a friend at church. I used the Hats Off Bundle and a simple color combo of Basic White and Balmy Blue.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the hat and the emblem with Misty Moonlight ink. After cutting out the hat with a Hat Builder Die, I mounted it on the Balmy Blue layer that I had embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. Hats off doesn't have any baby-specific greetings, but this little guy has two big sisters waiting for his arrival, so "Life is Great" seemed appropriate, which is included in the set.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I stamped "Here's to the Next Adventure", which is also included in Hats Off and just felt right for this card.
