Stampin’ Up! Gilded Country Home!

Posted on September 17, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While I worked on my Autumn Days card for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop, I pulled out my fall sets and was reminded how much I love Country Home, now in the Annual Catalog, and Gather Together, a returning favorite in this year's holiday catalog! I decided to combine them with Gilded Autumn Specialty paper and one of the new Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders to create this card that I am loving soooo much!

I embossed the Cinnamon Cider layer with one of the Wrapped in Texture folders, then brayered it with Cajun Craze ink. I discovered the Cinnamon Cider card stock color mimics the copper foil in the Gilded Autumn Specialty paper when they are put together.

I colored the bouquet with Stampin' Blends:

And shadowed the milk can with a Light Gray Granite Stampin' Blends.

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Slim-Line!

Posted on August 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have one more Celebrate Sunflowers card to share with you today. I've been seeing the trend of a new sized card called a "slim-fold", so when one of my stampers asked to make one I decided to give it a try!

A "slim" card is 8" x 9", scored and folded at 4". This card will fit in a regular business-sized envelope and should only need one first-class stamp as long as you keep the layers to a minimum.

After stamping the sunflowers with Tuxedo Black ink (the best ink to stamp when you are going to color with Stampin' Blends because the alcohol in the blends doesn't dissolve the tuxedo ink) I colored with Mango Melody Stampin' Blends and added Clear Wink of Stella to the center of the colored sunflowers. I also colored around them with Light Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends.

The beauty of the "slim" card is there is more room to really let the larger images shine.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Wishes!

Posted on August 3, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a lovely day yesterday celebrating all of our August birthdays! The day was warm, not hot, with low humidity; perfect to sit outside, watch the kids play, and play games!

Tomorrow the Holiday Catalog goes live for customers, so while we're waiting I'm sharing this gorgeous card created with Butterfly Wishes and Very Versailles! Once I started working on this card I quickly was able to create two more that I'll be sharing with you tomorrow and the next day. After I post all three I'll give you the details of my very first Card Class in the Mail: Butterfly Wishes!

I inked the branch, leaves, and blooms with Stampin' Write markers, and stamped the greeting with Soft Suede ink.

The script from Very Versailles was stamped with stamped-off Crumb Cake ink. I added a Rococo Rose Butterfly Gem to finish it all off.

I inked the inside sentiment with markers and added the butterflies with Blushing Bride ink.

If you love this card you'll want to order Butterfly Wishes, Very Versailles, and the listed supplies you don't have. These same supplies will be used on tomorrow's card are what you need to complete the Butterfly Wishes Card Class in the Mail!
