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.

Stampin’ Up! Pick a Pattern Crafting Forever!

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I didn't expect to make another card with Crafting Forever so soon, but I had another idea brewing, so I pulled out the Pick a Pattern Designer Paper to make this:

I used Just Add Text for my greeting; implementing the "tear & flip" technique to show both sides of a piece of designer paper on the front. I added an In Color Glitter Acrylic Shape for a splash of Emerald Envy color, adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Inside I was inspired by Beth Rush to cut another Pick a Pattern design into paper dolls to adhere with a glue dot on the outer hands.

Perfect phrase to go with the theme!

Stampin’ Up! A Flock of Fabulous Flamingos!

Posted on July 5, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! After the long July 4th weekend I'm working hard to get back on a working summer schedule!

I played with Fabulous Flamingo stamps, using Glossy card stock (yes, it's back!) and the new Marbled Background to create a flock of cards!

Everything is stamped on glossy with different color backgrounds. The flamingo is a three-step set of stamps. I stamped the body and legs with Powder Pink, the solid body with stamped-off Flirty Flamingo, and body detail with full-strength Flirty Flamingo.

Tempting Turquoise for this card base and the Marbled background. Lemon Lime Twist-stamped leaves. I used Flirty Flamingo card stock for the layers on all for continuity, and it made it easier to quickly put together 7 cards!

This one has a Soft Sky card base with the Marbled stamped with Soft Sky. Leaves are Pear Pizzazz.

TIP: I experimented with Basic Black Archival and Memento Black ink to see which worked best on Glossy . The Memento ink didn't want to dry at all. It takes awhile for the Basic Black Archival to completely dry, but it started out drier and was less smudge-y. Be careful stamping with any ink on glossy; it's easy to slide your stamp on the slick surface, but oh I LOVE the brilliance of the colors!

While the blue Marbled backgrounds remind me of swirling water, this Pear Pizzazz Marbled makes me think of lush foliage!

The first color I tried was Pool Party. It think it's still my favorite!

After stamping all three layers of the flamingo, the only thing I added was a dot for his eye with my black Journaling Pen.

Every flamingo needs a bit of bling, so I added three little rhinestones in the bottom corner. Perfect!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Daisy Delight!

Posted on July 3, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm battling a mid-summer sinus infection, but I did have a small spark of inspiration yesterday to create with the Eastern Medallion Thinlets and Daisy Delight stamps. I used Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party, Fresh Fig, Sweet Sugarplum, Powder Pink, and Whisper White.

I put the layers together with SNAIL, and when the adhesive showed through the medallion openings I sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

I used all three sizes of Clear Faceted Gems for the flower centers. The flower stems and the greeting are from Daisy Delight. After stamping the flower stems with Lemon Lime Twist on Whisper White, I adhered to the Pool Party layer before embossing with the Garden Trellis folder.

Inside is all Daisy Delight.
