Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Lemon Zest!

Posted on August 6, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy Sunday Swap Day! Yesterday my husband and I traveled to Eastern Kentucky to visit the Creation Museum. It was an amazing experience to see the Bible, particularly Genesis presented in a way that explains many of the questions we all wonder about: Where did the world come from? God spoke. How long did it take the world to be created? Six literal days. How old is the world? About 6,000 years. How do dinosaurs fit into the Creation story and what happened to them? Dinosaurs were one of the "kinds" that were created by God, they were on the ark, and became extinct after the flood, probably due to the changed world after the flood. And that's just a FEW of the questions that were explained! We are going to see the Ark Encounter today. It's a full-scale replica of the ark, according the the dimensions God gave to Noah and recorded in the Bible. I'll report on this experience tomorrow!

Meanwhile, here's a few cards created with the Lemon Zest bundle!

First, Linda Pagel used Lemon Zest and the Lemon Builder punch from the bundle to create her pocket birthday card.

She used Soft Sky, Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide and Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper.

This could be a birthday card for your hubby!

Next, Landa Cartwright combined the Lemon Zest Bundle with the cross-hatch image from Timeless Textures:

Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight, and some Berry Burst for the "pop"!

Finally, Deb McCahan used Embossing Past and a stencil to create the background for her "crate of lemons":

She used the Wood Crate Thinlets and Wood Textures Designer paper to create the crate:

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Grown with Love Day 3!

Posted on August 5, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is my favorite! In a stash of old cards from many years ago I found a pull-out card design I updated with Grown with Love and In Colors Berry Burst and Sweet Sugarplum!

I used the Old Olive diagonal-striped print from Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper for the background, layering on Whisper White before adhering to the Old Olive card base. The flowers and greeting are inked with Berry Burst, Sweet Sugarplum, and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers and cut with a Garden Grown framelit. I stamped the blooms again and cut with the separate bloom framelits included in the Garden Grown framelits. The blooms are bursting out of the Smoky Slate watering can, also cut with a Garden Grown framelit.

The slider opening was simply punched with the Classic Label Punch!

I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, Berry Burst 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon, and a Special Celebrations sentiment.

Inside I stamped the companion Special Celebrations sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Grown with Love Day 2!

Posted on August 4, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Lately, in addition to stamping my way through the catalog, I've been re-exploring some of the techniques and folds I learned 15 years ago when I first started stamping. For my second Grown with Love card I used the Free Stamping Pop-Up fold. This fold makes a really nice presentation after the recipient opens the envelope:

I stamped the Cajun Craze base with the Burlap Background stamp using Cajun Craze ink. then colored the flowers with Real Red, Always Artichoke, and Crushed Curry markers. I used Dapper Denim to stamp the flower pot and the greeting.

Side view:

I added a narrow Very Vanilla panel to the back for a signature area. I added a Dapper Denim sentiment from Five for All.

Side view of the standing fold:

Surprisingly, this card folds flat and fits easily into a Medium Very Vanilla envelope!

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Eastern Beauty Day 3!

Posted on August 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is created with the flower die from the Eastern Medallions Thinlets and the "hi" greeting from the Oh Happy Day Card Kit:

I started with a Dapper Denim card base, adding a layer of Berry Burst and a Very Vanilla layer embossed with the Polka Dot Basics folder.

After cutting out blooms from Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist, I punched both colors with the 1/2" Circle Punch for flower centers. After stamping the "hi" from the Oh Happy Day Card Kit with Berry Burst, I punched with the 3/4" Circle Punch. All are mounted on the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For my finishing touch I added a layer of gloss over the flower centers using my Fine Tip Glue Pen. It takes a few minutes for the glue to dry, so I kept the card flat while I stamped the inside layer to keep the glue from dripping. I experimented with adding the glue to the greeting, but the glue made the classic ink run and blurred the word, so I replaced it with a fresh, un-glossed greeting.

This is a simple "thinking of you", "what's up?", kind of card uses another Oh Happy Day Card Kit greeting.

Posted on August 1, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the day! The day you can start using the Bonus Days coupons you earned in July! It's also the day you can start ordering Carols of Christmas stamps set, Card Front Builder Thinlets, or the Bundle with both! AND you can use your Bonus Days Coupon(s) on Carols of Christmas if you wish!

Today is also my next share with you of my "stamping my way through the catalog" series. I used the Eastern Beauty set again with the Oh Happy Day Card Kit stamp set for the inside sentiment:

I started with a Dapper Denim card base, added a Tranquil Tide 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" layer, then stamped on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer with Dapper Denim & Berry Burst. I used an Eastern Medallion Thinlet to cut the center greeting layers. Berry Burst 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon and a few Rhinestones pull it all together.

The Oh Happy Day Card Kit stamp set is a one you can use year round. The phrase I used turns this card into a birthday card perfectly!
