Stampin’ Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheet Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheet Tree!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have another card from my Christmas in July class to share with you today, again inspired by the talented Jackie Topa:

Stampin_up_transfer_adhesive_sheet_tree_1 - Copy

I wasn't sure about Transfer Adhesive Sheets when I first saw them in the catalog. The word "transfer" threw me off. I thought, "to run through the copier?" Stampin' Up! tucked a package of these in our pillow gifts in the Incentive Trip, so when I saw Jackie's tree with the gold glitter it all came together. These are fun and so affordable! Just $6.95 for a package of twelve 5 3/4" x 7 3/4" sheets.

When you make this card, be sure you add the In Color Sequins BEFORE you sprinkle the adhesive sheet with glitter. If you add the glitter first, you will have to use Tombow glue to adhere the sequins. MUCH easier to apply the sequins first!

Inside we are using the Evergreen stamp set, which is retiring on August 27th, along with the rest of the Holiday Carryover List. You can view the list by clicking on this link: Download Holiday_Carryover_2014_US-5

I really like the combo of the Strawberry Slush card base with Very Vanilla/Gold Glitter/In Color Sequins. It's a fresh, modern look for a Christmas Card, but also a bit 60's retro!

That's all for now. I'm including the supply list for this card below. You can click on any image to go to my store or click HERE:

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I guess you could say I'm on a "tree kick" right now. First I played with Serene Silhouettes and Lovely as a Tree, and today I played with a carryover list set, Evergreen!

Stampin_up_evergreen_1

I paired Midnight Muse cardstock with a Basic Gray mat layer (bet you thought it was Brushed Silver, didn't ya?) and Silver Encore Metallic ink from the Holiday Catalog.

Evergreen is so gorgeous! I stamped the solid trees on each side first, then breathed on the stamp again without re-inking to get the second and third stampings of the trees to give the illusion of depth and distance between the trees. The silver ink worked perfect with this simple technique!

The fine detail of the "Silent Night" tree stamp is just incredible:

Stampin_up_evergreen_2

Sometimes silver ink can be a bit gloppy, which I was afraid of with the tiny script of this stamp, but NO PROBLEM!!!

Stampin_up_evergreen_3

Inside I used the remaining two stamps in the set (this card is stamped ENTIRELY with the Evergreen stamp set) with Midnight Muse ink on the Whisper White layer, breathing on the stamp again to get several stampings from one inking.

That's all for now! It's "Friends & Family Day" at church this Sunday, which means I need to throw a lasagna in the oven to take for the "dinner-on-the-grounds"!

Here's your shopping list for this super-simple card:

Evergreen #127970 Wood-mount $25.95, #127973 Clear-mount $18.95

Midnight Muse 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock #126843 $6.95

Basic Gray 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock #121044 $6.95

Whisper White 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock #101650 $8.50

Stampin’ Up! Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad & Evergreen!

Stampin’ Up! Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin’ Pad & Evergreen!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Happy Halloween Everyone! What are you doing for Halloween? I am going to decorate the back of my van this evening for a "Trunk or Treat" event at my church's parking lot! I have to get my decorations from last year out of storage today and get my costume together. I'm going as a Pirate, a Puss-n-boots Pirate!

The stamping task for the boot camp I am participating in listed this week's requirement as CASEing a technique from a Stampin' Up! resource. As a demonstrator, I have access to many different resources to help me plan my workshops, classes, and events. A bi-monthly magazine, Stampin' Success, is just one resource, but it's a great one! In the October issue, which we receive in September, they featured an article about using Shimmer Paint directly on our stamps. I took that article idea and instructions and translated it into using the Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad from page 23 of the Holiday Catalog instead of the Shimmer Paint!

For the center focal image, I stamped the solid tree image from the Holiday Catalog set, "Evergreen" in Garden Green ink on the Garden Green cardstock, then inked the open tree image with the Glimmer pad and stamped over the first tree. I maybe should have used my Stamp-a-majig to line up the images perfectly, but since I used the Clear-mount version of this set, I got a pretty good match anyway!

On either side of the focal image I had stamped the same tree with the same ink but did not re-ink the stamp to get a lighter, in-the-background look to them. I breathed on the stamp before stamping on the paper to reactivate and remoisten the leftover ink. I tried the same breathing technique with the Glimmer ink on the open stamp before stamping over the background trees, and it worked! Yay!

After I had stamped the solid trees on the card base with the same Garden Green ink I cleaned my stamp on my Stampin' Scrub, then inked this image with the Glimmer ink and stamped over the trees. I like this effect too! The star image is also part of the Evergreen set.

I cut out the focal image with an Apothecary Accents Framelit Die and my Big Shot. To achieve the larger Brushed Silver layer, I simply traced around the outside of the framelit with my Simply Scored Stylus and hand-cut it out with my Paper Snips. Easy-peasy!

The inside of the card is pretty straightforward:
