Stampin’ Up! Another Thank You Bokeh Technique!

Posted on April 11, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Whew! What a whirlwind the last 5 days have been, between taxes, a Birthday Card Buffet, and the free shipping promotion, I am exhausted. Tomorrow afternoon we are throwing a wedding shower for a girl from our church, and the list goes on for next week!

Today's card expresses how I've felt the past few days with the response I've received with the free shipping offer:

THANK YOU one & all! Everyone who placed an online order with me this week will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail soon!

This card uses the Bokeh Technique to achieve the look of light glinting and flaring in the background. Here's a quick rundown of how to do it:

1. Starting with a neutral cardstock, such as Very Vanilla or Whisper White, sponge color in random areas, overlapping the colors just a bit.

2. Punch or cut circles of varying sizes into a sheet of card stock or acetate (window sheet). The circles need to be different sizes and not punched in lines, they need to be punched randomly. You are creating a sponging stencil.

3. Lay the stencil over the sponged card stock. Sponge Whisper White Craft ink into the circle openings. Sponge some of the circles lighter and some darker. Move the stencil a little bit and repeat the sponging with White Craft ink. Continue to move and sponge until you like the effect.

4. Allow to air-dry or speed up the drying time with a Heat Tool.

5. Stamp over the Bokeh background with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

That's it! Click on this link to download the project sheet for this card:

Stampin’ Up! Little Sunshine Sophie for Taylor!

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was waiting until today to post this card I created last week to go with a baby gift I sent with my downline, Linda, to give to her new grandbaby, Taylor, who is scheduled to be born in Georgia TODAY!!!!

Taylor's mommy had chosen a Sophie squeeze toy on her gift registry, so I purchased that (and a Sophie teether and book!), then created this giraffe from punches and a framelit!

The card base is a standard 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4".

I used Natural White and Crisp Cantaloupe to match Sophie.

I used stamps from the Little Sunshine set for the greetings.

Sophie's neck is just a 3/4" wide straight piece of Naturals White, adhered to the card front with Fast Fuze adhesive, then scored by hand to match the folds of the card.

I've seen several versions of a punched giraffe before, but each one is just a little bit different depending on the supplies available!

I used the hangar framelit from the Baby's First Framelit Dies to make Sophie's tail and her antlers:

Here's the supply list to make your own Sophie. You can order everything from my Online Store here:

On a VERY IMPORTANT side note, Crisp Cantaloupe, a 2013/15 In Color, card stock, inkpads, ink refills, markers, thick baker's twine, and designer paper will be retiring on June 2nd. The Retiring List will be announced on April 21st, so there will be a lot of stamp sets and accessories on that list, but WE KNOW all of the 2015/2015 In Color products will be retiring because this is the year they automatically retire. Once an In Color is on the retiring list it becomes WHILE SUPPLIES LAST and availability cannot be guaranteed through the end of the catalog, which is June 2nd. A word to the wise: if you love this color or any of the other 2013/2015 In Colors, you NEED to order them NOW!!!!! If you have the inkpad but not the ink refill you need to contact me to order for you or order directly from my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Remember, if you order $50 by March 31st, you will also be able to choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration offerings, and will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me!

Here's a listing of all the 2013/2015 In Color products that will be retiring soon:

Stampin’ Up! Painted Petals!

Posted on March 25, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a good day yesterday. It rained on us the whole day, but most of the time it was just a heavy sprinkle. We had a good day anyway, because it's always fun just being together!

Since today is still such a gray, dreary day, I decided to feature ideas from the display boards at Leadership of the Painted Petals stamp set and Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper.

First, a cute little set of 3" x 3" notecards in Crumb Cake, Soft Sky, Whisper White and touches of gold:

Next, a Mini Treat Treat Bag created with the thinlet die and embossed with the Spring Flowers Textured Impressions Folder:

These samples combine the Painted Petals set with the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper, Hello Life stamp set, and Hello You Thinlets Dies:

I love the sentiment from the Mother's Love set used on the card on the right, and the 2 1/2" Circle-punched window for the greeting on the left:

Finally, an elegant impressionistic look on watercolor paper:

And I love the Spring Flowers embossing on the envelope flap and the stamped-and-punched "seal"!

That's all for now. Here's a basic supply list for today's samples. You can find everything you need in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
