Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Emboss Resist Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes Emboss Resist Birthday!

Hey there! Today I am sharing the second card I created with Dandelion Wishes and Broadway Birthday! This time I used a true Emboss Resist technique with white heat embossing and Sponge Brayers. I like the bolder look of the white embossing powder in contrast with the brayered Real Red and Blueberry Bushel inks!

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

After I brayered the colors over the embossed "fireworks", I rubbed over the piece with a kleenex to remove excess ink from the embossing. This helps make the white explosions really pop!

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

I also heat embossed the greeting from Broadway Birthday.

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

These two sentiments are also from Broadway Birthday. I chose to leave the middle white, and I really like it!

This card is actually an easel-fold, but the wind was blowing when I was taking the pics and the ones of it standing as an easel were too blurry! So imagine, if you will, the "Hooray"" as the easel stop.

 I used the same emboss-resist technique on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat for Christmas In July!

Stampin’ Up! Rustic Retreat for Christmas In July!

Hey there! I made my first Christmas card for 2019 yesterday in preparation for Christmas in July! yay! I used a new Annual Catalog set called Rustic Retreat, pairing it with the carried-over Buffalo Check background. I chose Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla for a warm and cozy look!

Stampin_up_rustic_retreat_carolpaynestamps1

I heat embossed the deer image with white powder on the Soft Suede focal image layer.

Stampin_up_rustic_retreat_carolpaynestamps3-1

I tied a bit of 1/4" Copper Trim to a Bird Ballad Trinket to embellish, then pulled the fibers apart to give it bow-like look!
Stampin_up_rustic_retreat_carolpaynestamps3-1

Sponging with Soft Suede ink makes everything just a little more warm & cozy!

Stampin_up_rustic_retreat_carolpaynestamps4-1

This card is my favorite easel-fold.

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes and Broadway Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Dandelion Wishes and Broadway Birthday!

Hey there! I was in a patriotic mood when I created today's card. I wanted a "fireworks" effect, so I used Dandelion Wishes and Broadway Birthday:

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the "fireworks" first, heat embossed with clear powder, then colored the diagonal stripes with Stampin' Blends. I added tiny dots of liquid glue to the fireworks bursts, then sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the Broadway Birthday greeting and candles with Tuxedo Black ink, which is recommended to use with Stampin' Blends.

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I created a little "pop-out" to add candles cut with Broadway Lights dies.

Stampin_up_dandelion_wishes_carolpaynestamps4

The pop-out is just a bit of folded card stock.

Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden Anniversary!

Stampin’ Up! Verdant Garden Anniversary!

Hey there! I'm finally getting back into the swing of things! My weekend was full of taking care of three of the four  Hiller Grands, which included blueberry picking with my new daughter-in-law Grace, (lots of fun) and an encounter for Oakley with a skunk (NOT fun)! I plan to keep tomato juice on hand for the future as it DOES work on skunk smell. I'm also keeping my grand-dog, Charlie, while my oldest daughter's family is on vacation, so it's been a regular grandkid/pet hotel around here. I'd give up stamping to do it, and you know how much I love to stamp!

Today I have a card created with the Verdant Garden stamp set and the Stamparatus.

The Stamparatus is a GREAT tool to give you precise placement on your card front, which is particularly important when you are stamping without the benefit of punching or cutting out the greeting with a die.

Stampin_up_verdant_garden_anniversary_carolpaynestamps1

You can also re-stamp the image in the exact same place if you need better ink coverage. After stamping I embossed the layer with the Subtle 3-D folder.

Stampin_up_verdant_garden_anniversary_carolpaynestamps2

I added three clear Frosted Flower Embellishements, then added a single pearl in each.

Stampin_up_verdant_garden_anniversary_carolpaynestamps3-1

Inside I used a sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet.

Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose With Stampin’ Blends!

Stampin’ Up! To A Wild Rose With Stampin’ Blends!

Hey there! As soon as I could order anything I wanted from the catalog, I made sure I ordered all of the newest Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers! Several are in new In Colors, so I was excited to try them out to create a pretty background to stamp To A Wild Rose!

Stampin_up_to_a_wild_rose_carolpaynestamps1

I colored slashes of Stampin' Blends diagonally across the white layer, overlapping each color a little over the previous one: Light Pretty Peacock, Dark Pool Party, Dark Seaside Spray, Dark Highland Heather, and Light Rococo Rose! Stampin' Blends alcohol markers dry almost instantly, so you can continue coloring with no worries!

Blends1

I matted the stamped "Blessed" with a Basic Black shape punched with the same Story Label Punch then cut in half to attach to the back of the greeting to leave an even edge. I finished the greeting with a few Noble Peacock Rhinestones.

Stampin_up_to_a_wild_rose_carolpaynestamps3

I custom-colored 3/8" Silver Edged Metallic Ribbon with my Light Pretty Peacock Stampin' Blend. The alcohol dries almost instantly to you can handle and tie the knot shortly after finishing coloring.

Ribbon

Tied in a simple knot!

Stampin_up_to_a_wild_rose_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped another phrase from To A Wild Rose and added a thin strip cut from the front background.

Stampin_up_to_a_wild_rose_carolpaynestamps5

I colored the envelope flap with the same colors of Stampin' Blends to match the card.
