Stampin’ Up! Birthday Cheer Pop-Out Card!

Posted on April 18, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is my regular "Coffee & Cards" class at the Cozy Table Restaurant in Benton, IL. We make two cards for $5 or free with a $20 Stampin' Up! order. One of the cards we will make today uses the retiring Birthday Cheer Bundle from the Occasions Catalog:

I love the font and sentiments in this set!

Right now the Stitched Shapes Framelit I used to cut out the gift are listed on the Discontinued List, but they will be back in the New Annual Catalog! I added a Heart Epoxy Droplet over the Lovely Lipstick-colored heart.

Inside is a riot of sentiments, balloons, and pop-out presents! Unfortunately, the dies to cut out the presents are already sold out. Just the stamps are still available, but this set and this card is so cute I just had to share it with you!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Happy In the Wild Card!

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A few weeks ago a friend asked me to create a card for her dear friend that was moving out-of-state and taking her zebra with her!

How often do you get a card request like that?

I used a retired set, In The Wild. It has a 2003 copywrite!

The card requested also needed to be larger than the regular 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" I normally make, so I made the card 5 1/2" x 7:

I used Glossy card stock, rubbing first with my embossing buddy, then stamping the zebra repeatedly with Versamark. After sprinkling all of the zebras with clear embossing powder, I heated them with my heat tool. I used a Sponge Brayer to roll Crushed Curry ink all over. I burnished (rubbed) the piece with a tissue to remove excess ink and to make the zebras "pop". I then sponged the edges and lightly over the piece with Tuxedo Black ink for a distressed look.

After stamping the zebra on a rectangle of Whisper White with Tuxedo Black ink, I added a sentiment from the Lots of Happy Card Kit and sponged with both Crushed Curry and black ink. I stamped the "FRIEND" from the Bouquet Blooms set.

Inside I used another sentiment from Lots of Happy:

I used the Motion Stamping technique, continuing to stamp multiple times in a row without re-inking the stamp, to get the look of a running zebra.

I used the Envelope Punch Board, which is retiring, to create a custom envelope using some retired black-and-white designer paper. This was a fun card to make!

Stampin’ Up! Last Chance Retiring List is Here!

Posted on April 16, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Stampin' Up! posted the Retiring List for the Annual and Occasions Catalogs yesterday afternoon, and with just about any Retiring List, there are always some big questions and possible glitches, so I decided to wait until this morning to post about it.

The big change Stampin' Up! has been working on since the beginning of January is to eliminate wood-mount and clear-mount red rubber stamps; converting all red rubber to a new attachment medium called "cling". Cling is far superior to the previous clear-mount because it has a stickiness built in to the picture sticker you put on the back of the stamp. Cling stamps are still the high quality red rubber Stampin' Up! has been famous for during the 30 years they've been in business!

Stampin' Up! will no longer carry any wood-mount red rubber stamps, with the exception of a few background stamps in North America.

Stampin' Up! will continue to offer some stamp sets in the high quality clear photopolymer too.

Here's a little video from Stampin' Up! with more info about Cling-mount stamps:

When you look at the retiring list it may look as if almost ALL of the stamps in the current catalogs are retiring, but they are not. Many sets are merely being "reconfigured" into "cling" mount.

To see the most accurate form of the Retiring List, including pictures, simply go to my online store to view:

http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Just scroll down a little bit when you get there to find the list link on the right hand side.

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop April 2019 Spring Color Challenge!

Posted on April 14, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the April Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! We're using this color combo today:

Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst are retiring, so order SOON. The Retiring List posts April 15th!

I used the Gatefold Blossoms Dies and Bouquet Blooms to create three cards with the color challenge. This bundle is retiring, but don't wait until the last minute to order. The dies could sell out soon!

I started with a Lemon Lime Twist 8 1/2" x 5" card base to get two from each 8 1/2" x 11" piece. Download my tutorial from this post to get the full directions.

Gatefold Blossoms includes dies to cut out all of these beautiful blossoms!

Bouquet Blooms even includes this "sunburst" image, as well as all of the words I used on these cards.

Whisper White base:

I colored the leaves with a Lemon Lime Twist Stampin' Write Marker.

Cute!

I added strips of Lemon Lime Twist 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to this one. The stripes is the flip side of the polka-dots.

Stamping direct-to-paper is a fun look!

Berry Burst (retiring) and Lemon Lime Twist (also retiring) are soooo pretty!

Our hop is small but mighty this month! Click on any of the names in the list for more color inspiration!

Stampin’ Up! Ducky Pizza Box!

Posted on April 12, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back! If you even noticed I've been gone awhile, I took a little break after my son's wedding. We are in the middle of some bedroom renovation, so something had to give, and blogging is one of the things that gave!

We aren't done yet, but I'm taking some time to get some blog posts scheduled with some cute projects I created before the wedding. Today's project features the cute Momma ducky from Fable Friends on a Mini Pizza Box!

This little momma looks ready for anything with her rain slicker and hat! (I think she needs galoshes, but I guess when you're a duck, that really isn't necessary, is it!) I colored her with Stampin' Blends. See the supply list below for the colors I used.

These little boxes are just the perfect size for treats, cookies, surprises, and even a gift card!
