Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Dragonflies, Jars of Love, and Beautiful You!

Posted on April 23, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stamping friends! Today I have a couple more Dragonfly Dreams swaps to share with you, then a few made with Swirly Bird!

First, Carla Spradling combined Dragonfly Dreams with Christmas Pines and Jar of Love for her creative card!

Next, Rhonda Bassler sponged Bermuda Bay and Old Olive on a Detailed Dragonfly die cut, then created a background with Timeless Textures and the spotty Dragonfly Dreams image.

This lovely combo of Jar of Love, Dragonfly Dreams (sentiment) and Blooms & Bliss Designer Paper (retiring) is a swap I took a picture of from OnStage. The GOOD NEWS is both Dragonfly Dreams and Jar of Love will be in the New Catalog. The BAD NEWS: both will no longer be bundled with their matching framelits. You can only save the 10% of these through May 31st!

Finally a couple of swaps with the Beautiful You set. This is the set we will be using at my next class in just a couple of weeks!

Clean & simple. Whisper White, Basic Gray, and a dash of Bermuda Bay!

Dramatic Real Red with a water colored background flowing from Rich Razzleberry at the bottom, Melon Mambo, and up into Real Red!

Stampin’ Up! Love Sparkles Dragonfly Dreams!

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there!

Today's card is the final one created for my Dragonfly Dreams class. I combined Love Sparkles (retiring) with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets.

I used a new-to-me technique, "ziploc watercolor"!

After white heat-embossing the images on Shimmery White, I put drops of Pacific Point, Wild Wasabi, and Elegant Eggplant reinker on a ziploc baggie, spritzed with water, laid a second baggie on top to "smoosh" the reinker, then lifted the baggie and laid a Shimmery White layer on top.

I stamped a Balloon Adventures (retiring) phrase with Basic Black Archival, inside.

A second inking with the same spritzed ziploc gave a different look!

Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer dragonfly was adhered with a tiny dimensional piece. The greeting is white heat embossed on a Basic Black banner.

I stamped a Sending Thoughts (retiring) phrase inside the second card.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Petals!

Posted on April 18, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stamping friends! My card today is a re-make of the card I shared with the FCCLA group back in February. Instead of You're Sublime, I took the left over card kits and created this card with Dragonfly Dreams and Suite Sayings!

The colors are still Emerald Envy, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, and Basic Black!

To view my original creation with You're Sublime (which is a retiring stamp set but you can still order it right now!) go HERE.

I painted the Basic Black Dragonfly with Clear Wink of Stella for some shine.

The Suite Sayings greeting is also stamped with the spots from Dragonfly Dreams and punched with the Decorative Label Punch which, sadly, is retiring.

I finished off the front with Emerald Envy sponging and Emerald Envy 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.

Inside I stamped another Suite Sayings phrase and more Tempting Turquoise spots.

To place your order for the retiring You're Sublime, Decorative Label Punch, 3/8" Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon, or any other Stampin' Up! products, go to my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Awesomely Artistic Dragonflies!

Posted on April 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I created today's card for my Dragonfly Dreams class this weekend, and I love it, but after I finished it I realized that although it does have dragonflies on it, I didn't use Dragonfly Dreams at all!

This card is very flat. I can't exactly call it a "one layer" card because there are two layers on top of the Rich Razzleberry card base, but it's very flat and easily mailable!

I combined Awesomely Artistic with Big on Birthdays using the Collage stamping technique.

Rich Razzleberry card base, Sweet Sugarplum layer, followed by the stamped Whisper White layer that I sponged the edges with Sweet Sugarplum ink.

Both the Dragonflies and the bunch of blossoms are stamped with Sweet Sugarplum. I "stamped-off" the blossom bunch on my grid paper before stamping on the layer to get the lighter shade.

After stamping the Big on Birthdays greeting with Basic Black Archival ink, I added Mint Macaron leaves and splatters stamped with stamped-off Sahara Sand finish off the front.

Inside follows the same drill.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Flip Flap Bee!

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there stamping friends! Today I have another Dragonfly Dreams card to share with you. I used the Flip Flap Fold with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create this fun bumblebee card:

I stamped the greeting from Jar of Love with Eaink before inking up the raised side of the Hexagon folder and embossing the layer.

The bumblebee die coordinates with the stamp from Dragonfly Dreams. I stamped the bee with So Saffron and cut out the bee from Gold Foil.

Inside I used a phrase from the retiring set, Friendly Wishes.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Dreams Class!

Posted on April 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Here's the Dragonfly Dreams class for next week!

We'll make these 5 cards for $15 or free with a $40 product order. If you want to attend, please RSVP to me ASAP so I can get you on my list!

Dates are April 20th, 6-9 p.m. , April 21st 6-9 p.m., and April 22nd 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at my house!

Today's card features Definitely Dahlia background with Dragonfly Dreams!

I used Timeless Textures to stamp a cross-hatch background. I have a new point-and-shoot camera, but it didn't have an instruction manual, so I'm guessing as I go along. These pics seem almost blown-out and it has focus issues. That's what I get for buying a camera hanging on a peg in Walmart!

Soft Sky, Basic Black, and Very Vanilla. A Falling in Love Embellishment (retiring) adorns the dahlia's center.

The pic of the inside was taken with my "old reliable" camera. While the new camera seems to take a sharper pic (when it DOES focus correctly), the old camera seems to take "warmer" pics. Waddaya think?
