Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Daisy Delight!

Stampin’ Up! Eastern Medallions Daisy Delight!

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.

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Love Levering Z-fold!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Love Levering Z-fold!

 Hey there! Today I'm starting the 21 day fix! Not a diet, it's  6 small meals a day with lots of raw fruits and veggies. Prepping ahead for the next day is key.  I have goals, and of course this includes physical activity, so I'm going to be busy the next 3 weeks. Hopefully when we're done we'll implement some of these practices into our "normal" life!

Today I have a pair of cards using the "lever z-fold". I used Lots of Love stamps, Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Paper, Lots of Labels framelits, and Tangerine Tango and Peekaboo Peach card stock.

Stampin_up_lots_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

The card base is a normal 4 1/4" x 11', scored at 5 1/2". The z-fold is 10" x 2 1/2",  scored at 2" and 6".

Stampin_up_lots_of_love_carolpaynestamps3

I cut the "lever" from the front layers with a Lots of Labels framelit. I added a bow and a loop to make it easy to pull open.

Stampin_up_lots_of_love_carolpaynestamps2

 I colored rhinestones with a black Sharpie to add a little sparkle!

 Tangerine Tango version. The Whole Lots of Love print on this one is my absolute fav!

Stampin’ Up! Hosts Rewards Stamp Set Blog Hop!

Stampin’ Up! Hosts Rewards Stamp Set Blog Hop!

Host_blog_tour_carolpaynestamps1

Hey there! Welcome to the "We (heart) Hosts blog hop! Everyone's projects are created using Host Reward Stamps from the new catalog, so you're in for some real treats!

For my card I used THREE Host Reward Stamp sets: In the City, Tranquil Tulips, and You're Delightful. I used a piece of Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper as my background on a Tranquil Tide card base:

Stampin_up_tranquil_tulips_carolpaynestamps2

 I cut out a vellum layer with a Lots of Labels Framelit, then embossed with the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder. I accented the embossing by rubbing inside the leaves and stems with my Simply Scored Stylus. I stamped the lower tulip layer with Sweet Sugarplum ink, then stamped the top layer with Berry Burst; and yes, I did cut them both out with Paper Snips to layer together and add to the Whisper White oval with dimesnionals. I stamped the stems and leaves with Ranquil Tide ink, cutting out the leaves and adding them with liquid glue.

Stampin_up_tranquil_tulips_carolpaynestamps3

 We have new sequins in the catalog, MINI sequin trims! Available in black, gold, and silver, I pulled a few black ones from the string, adhering with a tiny drop  of Fine Tip Glue.

Stampin_up_tranquil_tulips_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped the greeting from In the City with Tranquil Tide ink on vellum, then punched with the Classic Label. I applied a thin coat of liquid glue so the adhesive wouldn't show through the vellum.

Stampin_up_tranquil_tulips_carolpaynestamps4

 Inside I used a sentiment from the You're Delightful Host set. and stamped the tulips directly on the layer.

Stampin_up_tranquil_tulips_carolpaynestamps6

 Now it's time to continue on the hop to see all of the other inspiring creations! You know you're going to want to have a party so you can get some of these sets for free!

 

 

Here's the one caveat with these great Host sets: you have to either host a stamping party, catalog party, or place an order of your own of at least $150 to be able to "spend" you host reward credit on a Host set. But hey, I'm sure that really won't be a problem with all of the lovely new things in this catalog! Contact me if you would like to host an in-person party or catalog party.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Colorful Seasons!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Colorful Seasons!

Hey there! I have new swaps coming in the mail next week, so I'm sharing a pile of Colorful Season before I get too behind!

First, Artisan Design Team member Kimberly Van Diepen combined the beach chair from Colorful Seasons  and the Adirondak chair from Seasonal Layers Thinlets for her relaxing creation. The thinlet to cut the Island Indigo scallops along the side are included.

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps2

Next, BJ Peters used Basics Pack 1 Washi Tape on the Whisper White layer. This pack has Berry Burst, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo, and Rich Razzleberry.  She mounted  on Berry Burst that was embossed with the Sparkle folder. A bit of White Baker's Twine and a brand-new In Color Glitter Acrylic Shape are the finishing touches!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps4

Phyllis Johnson combined Colorful Seasons with Lovely Inside & Out for her card. Starting with a Crushed Curry Card base, she combined Crushed Curry and Perfect Plum for a beautiful leaf card that looks like sunny summer!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps5

I love this quick and easy combo of Delightful Daisy Designer Paper, Daisy Delight stamps, and a Colorful Seasons greeting from Amy Combs. The layering of a Stitched Square and a scalloped Layering Square give a fresh and springy look!

Stampin_up_colorful_seasons_carolpaynestamps6

Finally, Janice Weightman created a quick and easy card by stamping directly on the "paint-chip" design of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper. All she had to do is add the Basic Black Adirondak chair and a Glitter Enamel Dot to call it done!

Stampin’ Up! Whole Lot of Lovely!

Stampin’ Up! Whole Lot of Lovely!

Hey there! I just love the Whole Lot of Lovely Suite! The stamps, the paper; everything in this suite is so "lovely"!

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_carolpaynestamps1

 I started with a Pool Party card base, then added a layer of Pear Pizzazz embossed with the Petal Burst folder. I cut out a peach from the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper, adhering with SNAIL. I prepared Basic Black with a piece of Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the backside before cutting with the Happy Birthday Thinlets Die. I added a single rhinestone to dot the "i".

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_carolpaynestamps2

Inside I stamped flowers from Lots of Love with Pool Party ink in two corners. I stamped the flowers again on a Post-it Note, then cut out the flower to create a "mask". I put the mask over the stamped flower so I could stamp the leaves to make them look like they are behind the flowers. This sentiment from Lots of Love is perfect for the inside.

Stampin_up_happy_birthday_carolpaynestamps3

 Rhinestones filled in the flower centers perfectly for a bit of bling!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Love on Vellum!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Love on Vellum!

Hey there! We had a great day at the zoo yesterday! 18 of our 20 family members, including all 9 grandchildren! We had 9 adults to 9 kids! A good ratio whenever you're trying to keep track of everyone in the heat and in the throngs of people!

Today I have a quick and easy card created with the Lots of Love stamp set again. I stamped the large "sending lots of love" on vellum with Basic Black Archival ink for a different look:

Stampin_up_lots_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

I started with a Pool Party card base, then adhered the vellum to a layer of Pear Pizzazz with a thin coating of Multipurpose Liquid Glue applied with a Stamping Sponge. There were a few gaps in the black wording, so I used my Journaling Pen to fill in. I stamped the leaves from Lots of Love with Pear Pizzazz ink, and dried all of the inks by gently using my Heat Tool. I wrapped Bermuda Bay 3/8" Mini Chevron Ribbon around both layers before adhering to the card base. Three tiny rhinestones were my finishing touch.

Stampin_up_lots_of_love_carolpaynestamps2

I made sure the thin coat of glue extended all the way to the corners. Using the glue all over the back side of the vellum keeps adhesive lines from showing.
