Stampin’ Up! Folded Chevron!

Stampin’ Up! Folded Chevron!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are heading home from Branson today. We've had a lovely time, but I'm ready to see our family!

Today's card is for September's Punch & Technique class. This is my version of the Folded Chevron technique I've seen several of:

Stampin_up_color_me_autumn_chevrons_1

This is an excellent technique to use up those little scraps of designer paper we all have! I chose to use a stamp from the Merry Everything set, punched with the new Note Tag Punch. I pulled Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, and Crushed Curry from the  Color Me Autumn Designer Paper I used for the folded Chevrons.

Inside I used stamps from the Gifts of Kindness set, colored with the same Stampin' Write markers that I used on the outside image.

Like this one? A tutorial and card using this technique will be included in one of the September Fall tutorials I will be revealing on September 15th during the September Stamper's Dozen Blog hop! This tutorial will be part of my new Bluesox Rewards program for online orders beginning that day, so be sure to come back and check it all out!

Although I am revealing the new Bluesox Rewards program on Sept. 15, your online orders with me now will be eligible for the program!

Here's the supply list for today's card. When you are ready to place your order you can go to my online store by clicking here:www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

In case you just stopped by to look at cards, here's one of the swaps I created for the cruise using Regarding Dahlias:
Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux silk_1

This is the same swap, one created before I re-inked my pads and the other after. Whew! What a difference a few drops of ink can make!

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux_silk_2

It's not the easiest to see, but I used the "faux silk" technique on this card, inking the dahlia first with Daffodil Delight ink and then sponging Tangerine Tango ink around the edges. After I stamped on plain white tissue paper I wadded the tissue into a tight little ball, smoothed it out, then adhered it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I had covered with my Anywhere Glue Stick. After gently but not completely smoothing the tissue down I cut it out with a Floral Frames framelit. I then sponged the edges with more Tangerine Tango ink.

The greeting is from Gifts of Kindness, cut out with a Bitty Banner Framelit.

I think this is the first card I've shared with you in weeks that didn't have at least one retiring product used! Amazing!

Inside I used stamps from the new Work of Art set. Even the shape of the card has been cut with a Floral Frames Framelit!

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux_silk_3

More vividly inked version. (It goes without saying, this is the one I swapped!)

Stampin_up_regarding_dahlias_faux_silk_4

Lots of sponging going on. I was actually pretty happy I only had to make 9 of these. I swapped these with my Stampers Dozen Blog Hop friends!

Flower frog

Yes, it IS a "Flower Frog", and antique now from bygone florist days that was used to anchor flower arrangements, but has been repurposed to hold cards for display by Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and cardmaking enthusiasts:

Stampin’ Up! Gifts of Kindness!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! How are you doing today? I'm doing pretty good, I'm on the homestretch in the workshops this week. I actually have enjoyed the routine: get up in the morning, reorganize my workshop supplies, make sure I have enough M&T packets, then do whatever else I can fit in the day before it's time to get dressed to go. Drive to the workshop, stamp, laugh, and share with wonderful women friends, then home to submit the workshop. I could actually do with a couple of weeks like this EVERY month!

Today during the "whatever else I can fit in the day" time frame, I was able to sit down for about 30 minutes and create this using my new Gifts of Kindness stamp set!


Gifts of kindness 1
The card base is Beautifully Baroque-embossed Sahara Sand, layered with a strip of Afternoon Picnic Designer Paper. I inked the main floral image from Gifts of Kindness with Pear Pizzazz and Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Markers, stamped on Very Vanilla, then cut out with one of the new Deco Labels Collection Framelits. The Modern Label-punched "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" is also from Gifts of Kindness. I love the font used for all the words and phrases in this set!

Here's the fun part of this card – it's a diorama card!


Gifts of kindness 3

Close up:


Gifts of kindness 2

Pretty neat, yes?

The inside window of the diorama is cut also cut with one of the Deco Labels Collection Framelits!

I have some ideas about this card, but you are going to have to wait to find out what they are! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long!

Well, that's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
