Stampin’ Up! So Many Shells!

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Eclipse Day! Do you live near all of this craziness? We are just a few miles from the Totality Corridor, and yes, we are planning to head down into it today, despite the warnings of traffic gridlock and what not. My husband has been an amateur astronomer since he was a young boy, and has been waiting for this event for years!

Before we hit the road, I wanted to share this little card with you I created at the same time I was making a So Many Shells card a couple of months ago for a blog hop:

I subtly stamped the shells with Versamark on the Soft Sky layer, adhered to a Crumb Cake layer, then to a Soft Sky card base.

I love this sentiment, also included in So Many Shells. A double sentiment, actually! I looped a little bit of Linen Thread behind it, securing with a Stampin' Dimensional.

The shell images in this set are beautiful, but it's the sentiments that really made me want it for my collection!

Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas from Vacation Stamping School!

Posted on August 19, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! With my Colorful Seasons Class still going on today I thought I would share some of the swap pictures I took last Saturday at Vacation Stamping School. All of these are created with the Carols of Christmas Bundle that you can order this month and get a jump on creating your Christmas cards. All of the cards I'm sharing today have no creators names available, as these were entered in a card contest:

First, a lovely Whisper White and Soft Sky creation. The creator used the Marbled Background with Soft Sky ink to peek through the cut out trees, then added Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer trees in front. I love the little deer and the holly/berry touches.

Next, the creator of this beauty used a print from Be Merry Designer paper to achieve a North Pole look. Cut-out Garden Green pines were slathered with embossing paste and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to create a awesome background for the Lots of Labels die cut greeting.

The creator of this card embossed the background with the Softly Falling Textured Impressions folder, cut a Gold Glimmer scalloped square to highlight the greeting, and added glitter to just about everything for a snowy winter wonderland look!

Finally, this creation is the perfect gift bag! Gold heat-embossing, gold die-cut accents, and Gold 3/8" Metallic-edged Ribbon all coordinate perfectly!

That's all I have time to share today, but I have more, LOTS more to share from this event!

Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Paint Chip Card!

Posted on August 18, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! This afternoon is the first session of my Colorful Seasons Class, so I'm sharing the 5th and final card we will be making. I have seen several cards with this layout and set, so I combined a bit of the best to create a Crushed Curry version:

The Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack contains Berry Burst, Old Olive, Dapper Denim, and the color I chose for my card, Crushed Curry. I used the "paint chip" print for the side panel, then built the rest of the card around it.

I embossed the white base layer with the Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions folder, stamped and cut out the flowers with Crushed Curry and Early Espresso, and cut the Early Espresso branch with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet.

I used the "ombre" Crushed Curry print from the pack to stamp the greeting with Early Espresso. I used a Layering Circles Framelit to cut it out, as well as the scalloped circle behind it. I pull out my neglected Delicate White Doilies to frame it all. Glitter Enamel Dots in Crushed Curry, part of the Color Theory Suite, add subtle sparkly touches. I finished the card front by adding another Adirondack chair cut from Wood Textures Designer Paper.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Just Add Text with Early Espresso and added a 1/2" wide strip of the "paint chip" paper too.

Stampin’ Up! Colorful Seasons Double Z-fold!

Posted on August 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, here's is the 4th card we will be making at my Colorful Seasons Class with Colorful Season stamps and Seasonal Layers Thinlets. I created two versions, both with Soft Suede bases and Soft Sky for the sky/water, but the card in the back has an extra layer of Wild Wasabi, which made it really thick and heavy.

The version we will make in class is minus the Wild Wasabi layers. This card is more High Tide than Colorful Seasons, but using the Adirondack chair die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlets just makes this card!

We will emboss the Soft Sky layers with the Seaside folder and stamp the seagulls with Smoky Slate ink. (friend to friend) is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, a set that has been in the catalog almost as long as Lovely as a Tree!

We will stamp the water and sponge the clouds with Soft Sky ink. A second Real Red Adirondack chair will the the finishing touch.

Complete!

The signature layer is attached to the back of the largest section. Another Teeny Tiny Wishes sentiment added here.

Stampin’ Up! More Colorful Seasons for the August Stamp Camp!

Posted on August 16, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My Colorful Seasons stamp camp is fast approaching, and with everything going on this week (revival and I discovered an forgotten appointment on my calendar yesterday) I'm not as ready as I usually am by this day of the class week. I also start babysitting for Liam & Darcy tomorrow, so I have to get as much done today as I possibly can!

Swaps are coming to the rescue! I am finishing the insides of these two cards to add to the two I have created. (you haven't seen the 2nd one because it's been raining or dark when I had time to photograph it, but I will be taking pictures of a pile of fun creations soon!)

I received these two cards in swaps a couple of months ago. They have been in my display at events and I have lost the creators names, but they are beautiful cards that I would be proud to call mine!

This one could be considered more Daisy Delight than Colorful Seasons, but I love the combo of the Delightful Daisy Designer Paper, Daisy Delight and Colorful Season images, and Stitched Shapes and Layering Squares Framelits. The inside will be coordinated with the outside with a birthday sentiment.

This card combines the Adirondack chair cut with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet with the stamped beach chair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set. You can't tell in the picture, but we will be stamping on Shimmery White!

I don't usually use swaps for my class cards, as I like to use my original creations, but this week has been unusually hectic and crammed with other important non-stampy things, so I'm thankful I have swaps to turn to in a pinch!

I have one completed card and one as-yet-to-be-created card t0 show you. I hope to be able to share one of them with you tomorrow and the final one on Friday!
