Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, April Edition, Carryover Stamps!

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time for the April Edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! This month we are using Carryover sets that will be in the new Annual Catalog, beginning June 1st, but you can still order them now too!

I decided to use Dragonfly Dreams for my hop project!

I combined embossing folder "stamping"and triple time stamping with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle. My card is inspired by Lavinia Gruizinga.

To "stamp" with an embossing folder: rub the raised side of the folder directly with your inkpads. Starting at the bottom of the folder, I applied Emerald Envy, Wild Wasabi, Bermuda Bay, and Tempting Turquoise. I then spritzed iberally with water before putting the Shimmery White layer directly on the inked surface and gently pressing and smoothing with my fingers. NOTE: this is an inky, messy technique, so you may want to wear protective gloves!

After holding the paper on the folder for a few extra seconds to allow the ink to absorb, remove and set aside to dry for several minutes or speed up the drying with a Heat Tool. You will know the paper is dry when it is flat again.

You can usually get two card fronts from each inking of the folder as long as you spritz again with water in between. No two fronts will ever look the same!

I white heat embossed the sentiment from Dragonfly Dreams. The Rhinestones are now retired and sold out, but don't worry, there will be a new configuration of Rhinestones and Pearls in the next catalog!

Inside I inked Stylized Birthday and the Awesomely Artistic dragonfly with the same colors using the Baby Wipe technique to ink the stamps.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Flip Flap Bee!

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stamping friends! Today I have another Dragonfly Dreams card to share with you. I used the Flip Flap Fold with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create this fun bumblebee card:

I stamped the greeting from Jar of Love with Eaink before inking up the raised side of the Hexagon folder and embossing the layer.

The bumblebee die coordinates with the stamp from Dragonfly Dreams. I stamped the bee with So Saffron and cut out the bee from Gold Foil.

Inside I used a phrase from the retiring set, Friendly Wishes.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Class!

Posted on April 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Here's the Dragonfly Dreams class for next week!

We'll make these 5 cards for $15 or free with a $40 product order. If you want to attend, please RSVP to me ASAP so I can get you on my list!

Dates are April 20th, 6-9 p.m. , April 21st 6-9 p.m., and April 22nd 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at my house!

Today's card features Definitely Dahlia background with Dragonfly Dreams!

I used Timeless Textures to stamp a cross-hatch background. I have a new point-and-shoot camera, but it didn't have an instruction manual, so I'm guessing as I go along. These pics seem almost blown-out and it has focus issues. That's what I get for buying a camera hanging on a peg in Walmart!

Soft Sky, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla. A Falling in Love Embellishment (retiring) adorns the dahlia's center.

The pic of the inside was taken with my "old reliable" camera. While the new camera seems to take a sharper pic (when it DOES focus correctly), the old camera seems to take "warmer" pics. Waddaya think?

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stamping friends! It's Sunday, which means time for swaps! Today I have a large collection of swaps created with the Dragonfly Dreams bundle, so with a minimum of discussion, here they are!

First, Jan Rodrian created unique corners for her card by cutting a Basic Black Decorative Label into four pieces!

I love the background stamped with Touches of Textures, and her addition of Wink of Stella!

Next, Deb McCahan used Soft Sky and Basic Gray for her swap. The polka-dot stamp in included in Dragonfly Dreams!

My team member, Linda Reaney, combined Dragonfly Dreams with Butterfly Basics for a collage effect:

Dena Tarkowski used Peekaboo Peach and Whisper White for her z-fold creation!

Kristi Sova used Delightful Dijon and Perfect Plum with the Watercolor Wash Background for her gatefold card.

Wonderful use of all of the elements!

Finally, Sharon Tong-Robinson used masking and sponging for her beautiful creation!

Stampin ‘Up! Dragonfly Dreams and An Experiment!

Posted on January 23, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! First I'm sharing the card we made at OnStage last November with Dragonfly Dreams and Inside the Lines Designer Paper:

We cut a piece of Inside the Lines with a paper cutter and colored with Watercolor Pencils.

We stapled Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine to the strip, tied a bow, and adhered to 5/8" Burlap Ribbon. "Thanks", omitted from the sentiment by inking with a Basic Black marker, provided the greeting.

For my experiment card I colored Inside the Lines Designer Paper with Melon Mambo, Old Olive, and Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencils, then smoothed with a Blender Pen.

My experiment came about after I colored the vellum-cut dragonfly with a Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Marker. The marker ink takes a long time to dry, so I sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

I consider this a failed experiment because:

As the marker ink dried, the glitter is started flaking off.
The glitter prevented the Rhinestone from sticking well.

Conclusion:

Glitter won't stick to marker (or any water-based dye) ink.

This is one of many things that's great about stamping: you can play with ideas; some work fantastically, and some don't, but it's ALL FUN!

You can get a pack of Inside the Lines Designer Paper FREE with any $50 order in my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Hey there! Today I used the Serene Scenery dandelion print, Floral Affection Textured Impressions Folder, and Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets bumblebee. You'll receive supplies to make the basic version in your kit with directions to make the "stepped-up" emailed to you.

Inside I stamped and direct-to-paper-inked:

Stepped up:

I cut the bee from Gold Glimmer Paper and added a Metallic Enamel Shape to the flower center.

Added a Metallic Enamel Shape star:
