Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Oh Happy Day Card Kit!

Posted on July 24, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The next card kit in the catalog is found on page 15, the Oh Happy Day Card Kit! This kit is a bright and cheery addition to your crafting stash!

Today I'm sharing the first 5 of the 20 kit cards, standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2":

The instructions and pictures in the kit help with assembly. The printed pieces are numbered for which card they are for.

As I removed the pieces I wrote the numbers on the back and put them in stacks:

The 13-piece stamp set included in the kit provides choice for many occasions:

The kit contains 20 pre-printed and scored card bases, 20 kraft envelopes, a clear stamp block, 13 photopolymer stamps, embossed layers, printed die-cut images, die-cut glittered chipboard embellishments, die-cut white pieces and foil shapes, a Basic Black Stampin' Spot, printed color doilies, Baker's Twine, glittered dots, and Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampingrox Tip:the Basic Black Stampin' Spot isn't juicy enough to ink photopolymer stamps very well. I recommend purchasing a Basic Black Archival ink refill and/or a Firm Foam Classic ink pad in another color to match the colors of the kit: Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, or Tangerine Tango. I also recommend you use a Stampin' Pierce Mat under your paper when you stamp with photopolymer stamps. It provides the cushion needed to get a clear ink transfer and a crisp image.

I have assembled these cards almost exactly the way the kit recommends, but you could make them any way you want!

Stampingrox Tip: You will need SNAIL adhesive, glue dots, and/or Multipurpose Liquid Glue in addition to the dimensionals in the kit.

The Baker's Twine is messily anchored on the card front with glue dots on the back of the chipboard stars.

This card uses the same stamp as the card above, but I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to only ink the "thank you". I also filled in areas of the stamped sentiments with a black Journaling Pen.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 23!

Posted on July 23, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and happy Sunday! Next to Mondays, Sundays are my favorite day of the week! Sundays are time to worship, rest, and relax with family! Perfect day!

Sundays are also the days I get to share some of my swap stash with you! Settle in to enjoy some of my favorites from the New Catalog!

First, Kathy Morgan used the Climbing Orchid bundle for her lovely card. Rich Razzleberry was her color choice for the orchids, and she added a drop of Lemon Lime Twist reinker to a bit of Embossing Paste to create the lattice-looking background with one of the Pattern Party Decorative Masks.

Next, Lorraine Duran used the Graceful Garden set with Petal Garden Designer Series Paper and a Delicate White Doily for her feminine creation:

Dena Tarkowski combined Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper with Berry Burst card stock, ink, and ribbon. She stamped the label frame with the Label Me Pretty set, punched with the Pretty Label Punch, and added the "thanks a bunch" from Beautiful Bouquet.

Susan Levasseur paired the Oh So Eclectic set with Fresh Fig, Berry Burst, Island Indigo, Basic Black, and Whisper White for a strikingly great card!

Finally, Christine Bertram also used Oh So Eclectic Bundle, pairing it with Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper, Layering Ovals Framelits and Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Soft Sayings Emboss Resist!

Posted on July 22, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I myself am surprised at how many days I have blogged about the Soft Sayings card kit. Generally I consider a card kit to be very limited; when the supplies in the kit are used up you are done, but because this kit included stamps that is not the case!

My card today is the last one with the Soft Sayings kit, at least for awhile, but it's a pretty one! I embossed the bloom with clear powder on Glossy card stock, then used a Sponge Brayer to roll Flirty Flamingo ink all over. After I achieved the ink intensity I wanted, I then rubbed over the embossed blooms with a Kleenex to remove excess ink.

I used the same technique on the greeting, and created a loopy bow by wrapping Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon around two of my fingers, then tying around it with the same ribbon that I had also wrapped around the glossy card layer. The greeting was punched with the Pretty Label Punch.

Inside I used another of the great sentiments from Soft Sayings, stamped with black ink. I finished the layer by stamping couple more blooms with Flirty Flamingo ink.

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catalog, Soft Sayings Card Kit Part 3!

Posted on July 21, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I created these cards with the Soft Sayings Card Kit stamps and a stenciling technique using both laser-cut pieces from the kit.

With the floral stencil I created one with dark sponging and another with a lighter touch.

I applied So Saffron, Berry Burst, Island Indigo, and Old Olive with Sponge Daubers.

Watercolor Paper provided more texture.

The Soft Sayings sentiments are so varied, there's one for almost any occasion!

The softly sponged version:

I sponged the star-pattern stencil with a medium amount of Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, and Berry Burst ink. Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon and a few rhinestones to finish.

After finishing all 20 cards from the kit plus these three extras I still have several embellishments left to use with a kit refill!

Stampin’ Up! Stamping My Way Through the Catty, Soft Sayings Card Kit Part 2!

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I made another stack of cards with the Soft Sayings Card Kit yesterday. I still used the card bases, stamps, and embellishments included in the kit, but I did add a few additional ribbons and sparkles to step them up a bit.

These four are the 3 1/2" x 5" size:

The only non-kit item I used on these first two was Tranquil Tide ink:

I added Berry Burst ink for these next two:

I used Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide, and Powder Pink on these 3" x 3" gift cards:

A full-size 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" creation:

For this one I added Lemon Lime Twist ink and 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon, and rhinestones.

A quick and easy one with Tranquil Tide ink & ribbon:

Last but not least, my favorite of the day, with Berry Burst ink and ribbon!

This kit is so fun! It would make a great gift for a new stamper, grandchild, or friend, and the additional refill means the fun doesn't have to end with just the first 20 cards!

Tomorrow I will have the final cards I created with the kit stamps!

Stampin’ Up! Bella & Friends Magic Card!

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Oakley, is 4! Today is his birthday party, so of course I made a special card. I've been wanting to make a "magic card", but none of the tutorials I found really were constructed they way I needed. I woke up in the middle of the night with my modified version using Bella & Friends and Pretty Kitty "crunching" in my head. Do you do that? Wake up during the night with the solution to a problem you sometimes didn't even know you were thinking about?

With a Magic Card, the front image is colorless so I stamped the Bella & Friends on a window sheet with Basic Black Archival ink. This ink never dries on plastic, so I immediately sprinkled with clear embossing powder and carefully used my heat tool to emboss.

When you pull out the insert the image "magically" becomes full-color! Most "magic cards" have a stopper at the bottom to prevent complete removal, which does contribute to the "magic", but I know Oakley. He would keep pulling until he tore the card to shreds, so this version works for me!

I used sentiments from Pretty Kitty because Bella & Friends didn't have birthday ones.

I mounted the "magic" part on a regular card base, then used Stylized Birthday inside.
