Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Gilded Faux Silk!

Posted on October 19, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is also done with the Faux Silk technique, but I added the Gilding technique to step it up!

Both natural and white coffee filters work great for this technique. I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom all over a natural one for today's card. I used Real Red ink, but when stamped on the natural filter it looks more like Cherry Cobbler. After stamping I crumpled into a ball, kind of tightly, then opened back up loosely. I didn't smooth out all of the wrinkles and creases before gluing to my 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla layer. After folding and adhering the edges to the back side of the layer with liquid glue I adhered to an Early Espresso 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer on the Real Red card base.

After the layer was attached to the card base I gently pressed my Versamark pad on the creases and wrinkles, sprinkled gold embossing powder over the entire card front, and tapped off the excess back into my embossing powder container. I also used a soft brush to selectively flick away excess powder where ti was sticking too much to the still-damp ink. I then used my heat tool to emboss the powder and achieve the "gilded" look.

I stamped a greeting from Merry Mistletoe with Old Olive ink on a 1" strip of Very Vanilla, snipping one end with my Paper Snips into banner points. I scraped the edges of the banner on the Versamark pad, dipped the edges in the Gold embossing powder, and heated with the Heat Tool to get a hint of gold edge. After wrapping Gold Metallic Thread a few times I tied a knot around the threads. I finished it off with a stamped holly from Carols of Christmas and three pearls I colored with the Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend Marker.

(Stampin' Blends alcohol markers will be available to order on November 1st! Contact me my email or leave a comment here if you would like to receive a copy of the Stampin' Blends Brochure in the mail from me)

I stamped another Merry Mistletoe sentiment with Old Olive ink, and stamped the Very Vanilla envelope to match the inside of the card.

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Meets Faux Silk!

Posted on October 18, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a chance to play late last week, and the card I'm sharing today was one of the ones I created with the Faux Silk technique. I used Painted Harvest with sentiments from Merry Mistletoe to create this bright and cheery card:

For this one I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom with Real Red ink on a white coffee filter (yes, I have both white and natural in my coffee cabinet, although I'm trying to use the natural ones to reduce our bleach exposure in our coffee) I stamped the centers with Crushed Curry and the leaves with Old Olive. In true "faux silk" fashion, I then crumpled the filter into a ball before opening back up and adhering to a Whisper White layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I trimmed the filter to about an inch on all sides, then turned the edges to the backside, mitered the corners, and then adhered with more glue.

The wrinkles and creases did not show up in my photos, but the effect is stunning!

I used Gold Foil for to mat behind the layers to coordinate with the gold-embossed greeting from Merry Mistletoe. I stamped holly leaves from Carols of Christmas with Old Olive on Old Olive card stock, cut with a Card Front Layers Thinlet, and then adhered with glue dots. I added the smallest of the Gold Faceted Gems for more sparkle.

Inside I gold-embossed another Merry Mistletoe sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Count My Blessings with Fun Foam!

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been re-visiting another oldie-but-goodie-technique, Heat Stamping on Fun Foam!

How do you heat stamp? What is Fun Foam?

First, Fun Foam is a spongy sheet 1/8" – 1/4" thick found at craft stores. I bought a beige 12" x 18" sheet for 89 cents! I can cut a bunch of squares, rectangles, and strips!

To heat stamp on fun foam: Heat with your Heat Tool until the foam gets a little wet-looking and starts to curl. This doesn't take very long! As soon as the foam is heated, press an inked red-rubber stamp into the foam. Hold in place for a few seconds. Remove and voila! You have heat stamped the Fun Foam!

NOTE: Red-rubber stamps work best because they are more deeply-etched than photopolymer.

For my card I started with an Early Espresso card base, then added a Crumb Cake layer embossed with the Pinewood Plank Dynamic Folder inked with Crumb Cake. I added strips of Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, than the Fun Foam square I had cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit, heated with the Heat Tool and stamped with a Count My Blessings image inked with Early Espresso. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso before adhering to the card with a Stampin' Dimensionals in each corner.

I stamped a Butterfly Basics greeting and finished with a single Gold Faceted Gem.

I stamped inside with a Count My Blessings sentiment, stamped-off acorns, and Early Espresso sponging. I covered the Very Vanilla envelope flap with the fabulous acorn pattern from the Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper!

Stampin Up! Sunday Swap Day October 15th!

Posted on October 15, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time for Sunday Swap Day! yay!

First, a Christmas Quilt "floating image" card by Deb McCahan. I love Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay, and Dapper Denim with Whisper White! The Quilt Top Folder brings it all together!

A Christmas Quilt phrase, needle & thread finish the inside!

Next, an anonymous stamper used Merry Little Labels, Softly Falling Textured Impression Folder, and snowflakes cut with Seasonal Layers Thinlets for this simple but gorgeous creation!

Raedean Shibata also used Merry Little Labels and the Everyday Label Punch (bundled to save 10%) with Basic Black and Soft Sky. She stamped the label on Watercolor paper with Archival Basic Black so she could subtly watercolor the Soft Sky (or it may be Pool Party) in the winter sky. Merry Little Christmas Designer Paper continues the starry look.

Season Like Christmas with Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red, Whisper White, and Embossing Paste snow was the choice for Jody Miller. Jody used a greeting from Ready for Christmas and the deer from Carols of Christmas. She used a piece of Merry Music Specialty Designer Paper for her background.

Another anonymous stamper used the Seasonal Chums Bundle with the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions Folder for their simply classic creation.

Finally, Sharon Tong-Robinson used Sugarplum Dreams for her adorable Powder Pink/Whisper White creation. Gold embossing for the greeting and a strip of Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate add just the right touches of shine!
