Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Carol Payne

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.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden!

Posted on March 14, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card was created "just because". I've been wanting to play with the Daisy Garden stamp set for awhile, but just hadn't gotten it out, I had so many other cards that needed to be made.

I decided to use Pacific Point as my card base and ink color, then pulled out my Stamparatus to be sure I got good ink coverage with this large "background" stamp!

I colored the stems and leaves with a Soft Succulent Stampin' Write Marker, and added Clear Wink of Stella to the daisy centers. The wink moved the Pacific Point ink a bit to give the centers a soft over-all color!

I punched the Sunny Sentiments greeting with the Everyday Label Punch, then punched a second label from Pacific Point to cut in half and add behind it.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Hello Beautiful stamp set and stamped the Daisy Garden along the bottom of the layer. I also stamped the daisies on the front and flap of the envelope.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the March edition of the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off For Mark!

Posted on February 28, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the birthday card I created for my kids to give to their daddy with his birthday present. I used the Hats Off Bundle and Give It A Whirl Dies!

I added 1/4" x 4" wide strips of Real Red to the edges of the front layers for a pop of red color.

Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Friendly Hello!

Posted on February 9, 2022 by Carol Payne

The Fresh Freesia 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon looks so pretty tied at the bottom of the "matchbook"!

I continued the color scheme inside with more Friendly Hello images.
