Stampin’ Up! Year in Review for a Happy New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2018 by Carol Payne

IHey there and Happy 2018! I have my "Stampin' in the New Year" Birthday Card Stamp a Stack starting this morning, but before everyone arrives I want to finish up my "year in review" for 2017. Today I'm starting with July 2017 and working my way to the end of the year showcasing my favorite creations from the year!

First, I combined the Eastern Medallions Thinlets Dies with the Daisy Delight stamp set to create this bold-but-soft thank you card. Here's the link to the July 3rd post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-eastern-medallions-daisy-delight.html

I stamped a flock of Fabulous Flamingos for this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-a-flock-of-fabulous-flamingos.html

This Swirly Bird Christmas card was my favorite one we made at my Christmas in July class! Check it out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-swirly-bird-christmas.html

Another favorite Christmas card I created was with the Carols of Christmas set. This set is retiring and will no longer be available after tomorrow! Here's the blog post link: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/07/stampin-up-carols-of-christmas.html

I CASED this card from an old swap using the Grown with Love Bundle. See the full post HERE.

I used Sheltering Tree with the Sheet Music background stamp to create the sympathy card found HERE.

I combined High Tide with the Colorful Seasons Bundle to create the Double z-Fold card in this blog post: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/08/stampin-up-colorful-seasons-double-z-fold.html

In August I had the privilege of presenting at a stamping meeting of demonstrators in Champaign, IL. This ornament was my last-minute inspiration, Night in Bethlehem with the Cracked Glass technique! Read all about it HERE.

A favorite-but-retiring bundle from the Holiday Catalog, Christmas Quilt! I used Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, also retiring January 2nd, with the Cat Punch (not retiring) to create this easel card. Find more details HERE.

I explored an oldie-but-goodie technique, Faux Silk, in THIS POST with the Count My Blessings set:

I used the Painted Harvest set (which is not retiring) to create this adorable hedgehog Christmas card. Get all of the info here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/10/stampin-up-painted-harvest-christmas-hedgehog.html

Smitten Mittens is another retiring bundle I had fun playing with! Check out one of the three cards I created with this set HERE.

As you have probably figured out by now, I love techniques! I used the Direct Stamping on your embossing folder technique for this card with the retiring Season Like Christmas set. Check it all out here: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/11/stampin-up-woodland-season-like-christmas.html

I also like trying new folds, like the bridge fold I used with this card using the Season Like Christmas set: http://www.carolpaynestamps.com/2017/12/stampin-up-season-like-christmas-bridge-fold.html

Finally, my newest favorite set, Petal Palette. We will be making this card today at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack. Go HERE for more details.

Stampin’ Up! A Flock of Fabulous Flamingos!

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! After the long July 4th weekend I'm working hard to get back on a working summer schedule!

I played with Fabulous Flamingo stamps, using Glossy card stock (yes, it's back!) and the new Marbled Background to create a flock of cards!

Everything is stamped on glossy with different color backgrounds. The flamingo is a three-step set of stamps. I stamped the body and legs with Powder Pink, the solid body with stamped-off Flirty Flamingo, and body detail with full-strength Flirty Flamingo.

Tempting Turquoise for this card base and the Marbled background. Lemon Lime Twist-stamped leaves. I used Flirty Flamingo card stock for the layers on all for continuity, and it made it easier to quickly put together 7 cards!

This one has a Soft Sky card base with the Marbled stamped with Soft Sky. Leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

TIP: I experimented with Basic Black Archival and Memento Black ink to see which worked best on Glossy . The Memento ink didn't want to dry at all. It takes awhile for the Basic Black Archival to completely dry, but it started out drier and was less smudge-y. Be careful stamping with any ink on glossy; it's easy to slide your stamp on the slick surface, but oh I LOVE the brilliance of the colors!

While the blue Marbled backgrounds remind me of swirling water, this Pear Pizzazz Marbled makes me think of lush foliage!

The first color I tried was Pool Party. It think it's still my favorite!

After stamping all three layers of the flamingo, the only thing I added was a dot for his eye with my black Journaling Pen.

Every flamingo needs a bit of bling, so I added three little rhinestones in the bottom corner. Perfect!
