Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose!

Stampin’ Up! Cottage Rose!

Hey there! Today I have the first in a series of three cards to share with you, created with the Cottage Rose Bundle of stamps and dies! I knew as soon as I thumbed through the catalog the first time that I would have to own this one!

I used a favorite color combo: Blushing Bride, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, and Soft Sea Foam!

Stampin_up_cottage_rose_carolpaynestamps1

After stamping the bloom image with Early Espresso ink and cutting it out with the coordinating Cottage Flowers die, I then used Blending Brushes to add Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake, and Soft Sea Foam to it. I added a touch of Clear Wink of Stella to the bloom's center to add some shine.

Stampin_up_cottage_rose_carolpaynestamps2

I created the coordinating Blushing Bride mat for the bloom by using the same die to cut the shape from Blushing Bride card stock, then snipping it into two pieces. I then added it to the back of the finished bloom with Stampin' Seal, then adhered to the card front with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_cottage_rose_carolpaynestamps6

I added Blushing Bride to the designer paper with a Blending Brush, and scattered a few Iridescent Pearls for an elegant look.

Stampin_up_cottage_rose_carolpaynestamps3

 I stamped the birthday greeting from Cottage Rose with Early Espresso ink directly onto the Blushing Bride-striped print from the Abigail Rose designer pack. This striped print is the flip-side to the Early Espresso bloom-print I used on the card front flap. After I adhered to the bloom with dimensionals, I added a double-bow tied from Linen Thread using a glue dot.

Stampin_up_cottage_rose_carolpaynestamps4

I kept the inside simple with another Cottage Rose sentiment and leaves image, all stamped with Early Espresso ink.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds Candy Nests!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Songbirds Candy Nests!

Hey there! Today's project is CASED from a project I saw created by Laura Mellinger. I changed a few things, such as punching the birdies from the new 2022-24 In Color 6" x 6" Glimmer Paper, and using toothpicks for the sign posts, but I loved her design so much I couldn't vary from it much!

I used the Sweet Songbird Bundle of stamps and punch to create these:

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_candy_nests_carolpaynestamps1

This little birdie was punched from an ombre-hued Sweet Sorbet sheet of Glimmer Paper.

The "nest" is constructed from a 3" x 3" square of Soft Suede, scored at one inch on all four sides, then cut in one inch along score lines on parallel sides of the square. The flaps are then folded up and glued to form a one-inch square box. The two nests are stamped on Soft Suede card stock with Soft Suede ink, then cut with Paper Snips. After cutting, the nests are then glued to opposite sides of the box.

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_candy_nests_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the birdie eyes directly on the glimmer paper with Tuxedo Black ink. The beak is punched with the Songbird Builder punch from Basic Black card stock and added with a tiny drop of liquid glue. The wing is also punched with the Songbird Builder and glued.

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_candy_nests_carolpaynestamps3

I created the sign by stamping the woodgrain image from the Sweet Songbirds set with stamped-off-once Soft Suede ink, then stamping the sentiment  with black ink. I cut it with Paper Snips, then used a couple of glue dots to adhere to one end of a toothpick. I also stamped and cut out the musical notes before adding with a dot of glue.

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_candy_nests_carolpaynestamps4

I rolled the toothpick on the glue dots to wrap them around the wood before adhering to the sign and to the inside of the nest.

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_candy_nests_carolpaynestamps7

I also made an Orchid Oasis birdie, punched from Orchid Oasis Glimmer paper,

and a Tahitian Tide one!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps1

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps2

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps3

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I'm working on more swaps to mail out, so today I played with the Wild & Sweet stamp set, Sending Smiles Bundle, and He's the Man Designer Series Paper to create this card!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps1

Of course I stamped the raccoon image with Early Espresso ink on the Soft Succulent layer before embossing with the Timber 3D embossing folder!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps2

I cut the "Sending" word from the Sending Smiles bundle from both Early Espresso and Basic White card stock before adhering together with a thin line of liquid glue, then adhering to the card front also with liquid glue. I added a 1" x 4" strip of He's the Man Designer Paper to the left side of the card front. Raccoons and camping seem to go together, so this print was perfect!

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Sending Smiles with Early Espresso ink, then added a 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip of the same He's the Man designer paper print to the left side of the Basic White sentiment layer.

Stampin_up_wild_&_sweet_carolpaynestamps4

Altogether a quick and easy card!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Hey there! Today's card is a CASE from a Boughs & Blossoms card found on page 26 of the January/June Mini Catalog! One of my stampers wanted to know how to make it, so I made it myself so I can show it to her at our next class together. This card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, Bough Punch (as a bundle to save 10%), and white heat embossing!

I punched So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Blushing Bride card stock and the same colors plus Pear Pizzazz designer paper with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to create the bases for each are on the card front.

The greeting is white heat-embossed on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz, then trimmed with Paper Snips. The white leaves and blooms are punched with the Bough punch and then added to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Other images from Boughs & Blossoms are white heat-embossed on the various subtle card stock colors.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Hey there! Today's card is green, but it isn't St. Patrick's Day green. I don't have to worry about being pinched today whether I wear green or not as I will be staying home all day with Fiona! lol!

I decided to play around with the alcohol marker/alcohol technique a little bit to try and replicate a card I found on Pinterest. The person who uploaded it didn't have any directions, as I don't believe it was their card anyway, so I just winged it. My card doesn't look much like the inspiration piece, but that's ok!

I started with a layer of 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla. I stamped the flower stems one at a time, sprinkled with gold embossing powder, and then heated before I stamped the next flower so I could place them where I wanted. Then I stamped the greeting and the dragonflies (which also sort of look like butterflies). I used images from both the Dragonfly Garden and Garden Wishes stamp sets. Next I scribbled color on the flower heads and the dragonflies with a Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends Alcohol Marker. I then used a watercolor brush to dab 91% Rubbing Alcohol on each bloom to cause the color to pool and spread. 91% alcohol dries pretty quickly, so I was then able to color around and over the gold embossed stems and background with a Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker.

My next step was to dab tiny dots of liquid glue over the layer. I let it set to dry tacky for a few  minutes, then pressed Gilded Leafing onto the card front. I then used a dry brush to flick away the leafing that was not stuck to the glue.

I tied Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon around the card, tying in a simple knot.

I really love how the Dark Magenta Madness pops against the muted Soft Succulent color.

I added a Dragonfly Garden sentiment and a few more flowers stems inside with gold heat embossing.
