Stampin’ Up! Fresh Freesia Nature’s Harvest!

Posted on April 9, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is sooo pretty! I found a layout I loved and adapted it to use with the Nature's Harvest and Dragonfly Garden stamp sets!

I created my own "designer paper" by heat embossing the flower spray with clear powder on a 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Basic White, then using a Blending Brush to apply Fresh Freesia ink over it. The clear embossing resists the ink, creating this pretty look!

I stamped the cone flowers with Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Fresh Freesia and Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the centers of the flowers to add some shimmer.

I colored a strip of Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to get a darker version to put behind the circle with the cone flowers. I heat embossed a greeting from Dragonfly Garden on a 1/2" strip of Fresh Freesia, then cut one end into banner points with Paper Snips.

I tied the ribbon in a bow and then added with a glue dot.

On the inside I used the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend to add a darker edge to a 4" x 5 1/4" Fresh Freesia layer, then added the 3 3/4" x 5" white sentiment layer.

I stamped the inside with another Dragonfly Garden sentiment, and added Dragonfly Garden butterflies/dragonflies with Fresh Freesia ink. I did the emboss resist technique on the envelope flap as well.

I added a bit of Fresh Freesia ink over the stamped cone flower and added a few more Fresh Freesia butterflies.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest Quiet Meadow Dragonfly Collage!

Posted on April 4, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last night I played with a couple of current sets that are not retiring to create today's card. Products, especially stamp sets, are flying off the shelves and selling out daily, so I've decided to try to make most of my cards moving forward with current and carrying-over supplies to avoid tempting you with products you can't order anymore.

I used the Quiet Meadow and Dragonfly Garden stamp set to create this collage card with a color palette of Blackberry Bliss, Merry Merlot, and Pear Pizzazz.

I used a combination of stamping with full-strength ink and stamping off once or twice on scrap paper before stamping on the very vanilla paper. I did add a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the tops of the cone flowers for a bit of shimmer.

I stamped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding with one of the smudge stamps from the Nature's Harvest stamp set.

I cut the length of ribbon I needed (about 14 inches) then quickly stamped the ribbon with Blackberry Bliss ink. It was dry in minutes and ready to wrap around the bottom edge of the card and to tie in a bow. I secured the knot with a glue dot and added another glue dot to the middle of the ribbon on the back side to keep it from sliding off the end.

Inside I used a Dragonfly Garden sentiment with more stamping-off Pear Pizzazz stamping and ink blending with Pear Pizzazz and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is green, but it isn't St. Patrick's Day green. I don't have to worry about being pinched today whether I wear green or not as I will be staying home all day with Fiona! lol!

I decided to play around with the alcohol marker/alcohol technique a little bit to try and replicate a card I found on Pinterest. The person who uploaded it didn't have any directions, as I don't believe it was their card anyway, so I just winged it. My card doesn't look much like the inspiration piece, but that's ok!

I started with a layer of 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla. I stamped the flower stems one at a time, sprinkled with gold embossing powder, and then heated before I stamped the next flower so I could place them where I wanted. Then I stamped the greeting and the dragonflies (which also sort of look like butterflies). I used images from both the Dragonfly Garden and Garden Wishes stamp sets. Next I scribbled color on the flower heads and the dragonflies with a Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends Alcohol Marker. I then used a watercolor brush to dab 91% Rubbing Alcohol on each bloom to cause the color to pool and spread. 91% alcohol dries pretty quickly, so I was then able to color around and over the gold embossed stems and background with a Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker.

My next step was to dab tiny dots of liquid glue over the layer. I let it set to dry tacky for a few minutes, then pressed Gilded Leafing onto the card front. I then used a dry brush to flick away the leafing that was not stuck to the glue.

I tied Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon around the card, tying in a simple knot.

I really love how the Dark Magenta Madness pops against the muted Soft Succulent color.

I added a Dragonfly Garden sentiment and a few more flowers stems inside with gold heat embossing.

Here are the shopping links for today's card. I appreciate your orders to help me stay in business so I can keep creating!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance CASEing Myself!

Posted on October 29, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a card that I CASE'd (Copy And Selectively Edit) from myself! I was stamping up some leftover class kits when I decided to change the card a bit using most of the original supplies. I liked it so well I knew I needed to share it with you!

My original card on the left used the Butterfly Brilliance bundle of stamps and dies, Peaceful Moments and Dragonfly Garden stamps, and the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks with both White Craft and Balmy Blue Ink.

I kept the same basic layout and stamps for my CASE, but instead of using the mask and a Blending Brush, I stamped part of the Butterfly Brilliance background image with White Craft ink, then heat embossed with White Powder.

I added Elegant Gems to the butterfly bodies just like I did in the original.

Since I will be packaging most of these up to offer at my next Craft Fair, I decided to leave the inside free of any sentiment so they can be used for multiple occasions.

Supplies to order to make both or either card:

Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Butterfly Brilliance!

Posted on June 28, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another pair of sympathy cards to share with you, again made with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, but with a completely different color scheme. I used Basic White, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, and White Craft ink.

I created the background with one of the Basics Decorative Masks, Balmy Blue & White Craft ink, and Blending Brushes.

I stamped one of the Butterfly Brilliance butterflies on white with Balmy Blue ink, then cut with a Brilliant Wings die. I added more Balmy Blue ink to the edges with a Blending Brush. After adhering to the card front with a couple of glue dots I added three Elegant Faceted Gems.

The front sentiment is from Peaceful Moments.

I used White Craft ink with the mask first, then slightly moved the mask before adding the Balmy Blue.

Inside I used another Peaceful Moments sentiment and flowers from Dragonfly Garden.
