Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Anniversary!

Posted on May 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! My card for today is an anniversary card for a special couple I know. I won't mention their names because I don't want them to know it's for them until they receive it in the mail, so shhhhh!

I used the retiring Flourishing Phrases again with Pretty Peacock card stock and ink to create this elegant anniversary card. I stamped the large flourish on both the center and edges of the Shimmery White card stock, as well as the envelope front and flap.

I cut the greeting with an Ornate Frames die, then traced the outside of the die on Pretty Peacock card stock. I cut with Paper Snips along the inside edge of the drawn line to create the Pretty Peacock mat. I added three Noble Peacock Rhinestones, which are also retiring, for some sparkle.

I love these two sentiments together! Even though there isn't an anniversary greeting in Flourishing Phrases, I will write it in before I mail it!

I solved the problem of stamping the two separate sentiments evenly by stamping the lower one at a whimsical angle. You can never go wrong with part of the sentiment at an angle to keep from having to make them stamp evenly.

Stampin’ Up! Flourishing Phrases Sympathy

Posted on May 18, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another retiring set I'm sad to see go is Flourishing Phrases and the coordinating Flourish Dies. It's actually one of only two remaining wood-mount sets in my stash, and the other one, Label Me Pretty, is retiring too! Wood-mount was the way all of my stamps were mounted when I started stamping 18 years ago. There were no photopolymers or cling-mounts back then, just good 'ol red rubber mounted on wood blocks! I was hesitant to convert to cling mount and photopolymer, but gradually I did. I still love the feel of that wood block in my hand! Everything changes (except for the Lord who never changes) and now I love my cling and photopolymer!

For my card today I used Flourishing Phrases to create a sympathy card with Mint Macaron, Shaded Spruce, and a stenciling technique.

After stenciling with Mint Macaron ink on the Mint Macaron card stock, I ran it through my embossing machine in the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder.

I added a few Frosted Flower Embellishments to the greeting punched with the Label Me Fancy punch.

This set makes it so easy to create a sweet card for sympathy, wedding, congratulations, just a note, thank you, and hello!

So many of the supplies I used for today's card are retiring and will be gone forever after June 2nd, so don't delay!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday with Southern Serenade!

Posted on April 3, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Next Saturday I'll be presenting at a Stampin' Up! OnStage event in Atlanta, Georgia! Exciting, nerve-wracking, and LOTS of samples to prep! I'm working on my display samples, so I'm sharing more swaps today. (Don't worry, you WILL get to see my OnStage samples AFTER the event. I am bound by a Stampin' Up! Confidentiality Rules for now)

I don't own Southern Serenade from the Occasions Catalog, so I was happy to get a few samples to share!

First, an anonymous stamper spongeed Crumb Cake through an oval mask before stamping the blooms and coloring with Rich Razzleberry & Old Olive Stampin' Blends. The greeting is from the Annual Catalog set, Better Together.

Next, Cathy Miller used a Flourishing Phrases greeting with Marina Mist and Very Vanilla, embossing a strip of Marina Mist with the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Folder and adding touches of silver accent:

The lace background stamped in Marina Mist is also from Southern Serenade!

Susie Wood used the Black Magic technique, coloring the blooms and leaves with Stampin' Blends after heat embossing with white powder.

Finally, Mary Lang used Brusho Crystal Colours with spray starch and plastic wrap to create this gorgeous background using Touches of Texture instead of Southern Serenade:
