Stampin’ Up! Everyday Hero for Cohen!

Stampin’ Up! Everyday Hero for Cohen!

Hey there! I create a special birthday card for each family member. Cohen turned 9 on the 7th, but I waited until after his party to share his card, created with Everyday Hero and Super Duper:

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps1

 This card has lots of fancy-cutting with Paper Snips, but I think it was worth it!

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps3

 I wanted to keep the comic-strip look of Everyday Hero, which combined so well with Super Duper!

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps4

 I couldn't resist having the super-hero bring a couple of Super Duper balloons with him!

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps7

 I colored him with markers, then very lightly colored his face with a Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and smoothed with a Blender Pen. His cape is attached with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps5

 Real Red and Pacific Point Stampin' Write Markers helped achieve the look I wanted on the greetings.

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps6

 I continued the theme for the cards I made for the uncles to give him.

Stampin_up_everyday_hero_carolpaynestamps8

 The inside sentiment is from Big on Birthdays, also found in the Occasions catalog.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! It's Sunday, so time for some swaps! yay!

I have just a few unshared Valentines, the first by Carol Slack using Falling Petals folder, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, Sealed with Love stamps, and Sending Love Designer Paper!

Stampin_up_sealed_with_love_carolpaynestamps1

Carol used the Double-Dutch fold, I forget about this one sometimes!

Stampin_up_sealed_with_love_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Jenna Raby used the Lift Me Up set with Sending Love Designer, Sweet & Sassy Framelits, and Up & Away Thinlets for her interlocking hearts creation:

Stampin_up_lift_me_up_carolpaynestamps1

The final Valentine I sharing this year is by Lorraine Duran with the Falling Petals Folder, Sweet Heart Punch, and Sending Love Designer Paper:

Stampin_up_lift_me_up_carolpaynestamps4

I also have a few swaps using Sale-a-bration sets!

First, Rene Watson created a "Z-fold" with Hey Chick and the Hexagon Dynamic folder:

Stampin_up_hey_chick_carolpaynestamps4

Wendy Lee also used Hey Chick, adding some small-but-effective details to make her card a true WOW!

Stampin_up_hey_chick_carolpaynestamps9

Beautiful watercoloring with an AquaPainter is just the beginning!

Stampin_up_hey_chick_carolpaynestamps3

Tone-on-tone monochromatic stamping and speckling with Gorgeous Grunge help make the details pop.

Wendy used the Fringe Scissors and a thin strip of Red Glimmer Paper for edge-interest, as well as used just a tiny bit of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon, Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate, and Gold Metallic Thread to highlight the greeting!

Stampin_up_hey_chick_carolpaynestamps1

The final swap today arrived with no creator name, but is so pleasing, it's a shame. They combined So Very Much Sale-a-bration with Beautiful You to make a stylish statement with Whisper White, Melon Mambo, and Basic Black. The tiny flower was punched with the Tree Builder Punch!

Stampin_up_so_very_much_carolpaynestamps

That's all for today. We are celebrating three February family birthdays today, so I'm excited to have all of the family over!

Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree for Samaritan Ministries!

Stampin’ Up! Sheltering Tree for Samaritan Ministries!

Hey there! We've left the health insurance merry-go-round and joined Samaritan Ministries. No monthly premium. Instead, we send a designated amount each month to a member with a medical need. I used inspiration from Billie Moan for cards to send with our check:

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps1

Ink the "I" clear block with Rich Razzleberry, Marina Mist, and Mint Macaron, rubbing the pad directly on the block, spritz water, then stamp on watercolor paper. The left card was spritzed less water; the right card spritzed with more.

Let dry. Stamp the Sheltering Tree with Basic Black Archival. I filled in the trunk and branches with a Project Life Journaling Pen.

Stampin’ Up! Oh So Succulent Waterfall for Mother’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Oh So Succulent Waterfall for Mother’s Day!

Hey there! When I created my first Oh So Succulent Waterfall card a few days ago, I didn't stop with just one, I created this second one, also with the Oh So Succulent Bundle!

I started with an Old Olive 4 1/4" x 5 1/4" flat base, then added a layer of Succulent Garden Designer Paper 4" x 5 1/4"

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_waterfall_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped off Sweet Sugarplum for the flower, then stamped the outline with full-strength Sweet Sugarplum. "Happy Mother's Day" is included in Oh So Succulents.

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_waterfall_carolpaynestamps2

The waterfall strip is 2 ¼” x 9 ½”, scored at 3 ¾”, 5”, 5 ¾”, 6 ½”, 7 ¼”.

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_waterfall_carolpaynestamps6

I used the waterfall flaps to showcase the gorgeous Succulent Garden Designer Paper!

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_waterfall_carolpaynestamps3

I added a few rhinestones to sparkle up the ending sentiment!

Stampin_up_oh_so_succulent_waterfall_carolpaynestamps4

I secured the cross-piece with both Tear & Tape adhesive and a staple. I don't really like exposed staples, so will probably go back and add a flower to hide it.

Oh So Succulent stamps on the envelope too!

Stampin’ Up! Carousel Birthday Goes Around and Around!

Stampin’ Up! Carousel Birthday Goes Around and Around!

Hey there! The Ferris wheel in the Carousel Birthday set cried out to spin!

Stampin_up_carousel_birthday_carolpaynestamps1

I cut out wheel with a Layering Circle Framelit, then used a tiny brad to adhere to the card front and spin!

Stampin_up_carousel_birthday_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the cupcake bottom on Early Espresso, then cut with an Up & Away Thinlet. The Bermuda Bay cupcake frosting was also cut with another Up & Away Thinlet. Although no dies coordinate with Carousel Birthday, it's nice that two of the Up & Away thinlets do!

Stampin_up_carousel_birthday_carolpaynestamps3

I added frosting with a Fine Tip Glue Pen, sprinkling with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Stampin_up_carousel_birthday_carolpaynestamps4

 This sentiment coordinates perfectly with the Ferris Wheel!

I pierced the center with my paper-piercing tool, then pierced the center of a  1 1/4" circle.

Stampin_up_carousel_birthday_carolpaynestamps7

I put the brad "legs" through both holes, then adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. The dimensionals allow the Ferris wheel to spin!

It's so easy to create a card with this set!
