Stampin’ Up! Petal Pink Tasteful Touches!

Posted on June 11, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had an assignment to create samples for an event called "Vacation Stamping School", so I have played with the In Good Taste Suite during my preparations. The cards I posted last week with the In Color Tasteful Touches Craft Ink Wash Technique were part of my stamping binge. You can find those cards HERE.

My card for today also features the In Good Taste Designer Series paper and the Ornate Borders Dies:

My color palette consists of Petal Pink, Early Espresso, and Whisper White. I cut the greeting layer with a Tasteful Labels Die and added a bow created with 1/4" Faux Suede Trim.

I'm really happy with the look of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper peeking through the Ornate Border die-cut edge! The card front has also been embossed with the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder inked with White Craft ink.

Of course I have to show you the inside too!

Stampin’ Up! New Catalog, New Stamps, New Colors!

Posted on June 3, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the day! The New Annual Catalog goes live this afternoon at 1 p.m Mountain Time! I hope you have your wish list ready! I have mine! lol!

While we are waiting for the New Annual Catalog to go live so we can start placing our orders, I want to share with you a group of fun cards I created with New In Colors and the Tasteful Touches Bundle. Found on pages 122-124 in the New Annual Catalog, I had fun playing and creating with it!

Here's the Misty Moonlight version up close!

After heat-embossing the leafy sprigs and "lace" with white powder I dry-embossed the entire Misty Moonlight layer with the Scripty 3D Embossing folder. After assembling the card I added a few 2020/2022 In Color Enamel Dots.

The Tasteful Touches bloom was heat-embossed with white on Crumb Cake, then painted with the a "white craft ink wash" using a blender pen.

I used a greeting from the new Many Mates stamps set, punched with the Classic Label Punch.

Inside I simply heat embossed the Tasteful Touches sentiment and bloom.

Stampin’ Up! Dressed to Impress Swaps!

Posted on June 2, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is the last day you can order anything from the Retiring List. You will find all of the items on the list in my Online Store when you click on "Last Chance Products" on the left-hand side: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

The bundle I am sharing with you today is from the Best Dressed Suite in the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog. These stamps and dies will be available when the New Catalog goes live tomorrow at 1 p.m. MT, but the coordinating Best Dressed 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper and other notions in the suite will not. The stamps and dies will also no longer be bundled to save you 10%, so you seriously want to consider ordering them today before the bundle price is gone.

The first one is by Robyn Ryan. Robyn used the Tufted 3D embossing folder to give this card a luxurious look, as well as Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels and a die from the All Dressed Up Dies to complete the card.

Stampin’ Up! Pressed Petals Stitched All Around!

Posted on June 1, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Only two days left before the Retiring List expires and the New Annual Catalog begins! Today I have another birthday card I created with the retiring Stitched All Around stamp set, Stitched Shapes dies, and Pressed Petals Specialty Designer paper.

I added a bit of 5/16" Braided Burlap Trim behind the sentiment layers to add some texture. I frayed the ends of the trim before adhering with a thin line of liquid glue.

I really like this sentiment from Stitched All Around. I'm sorry to see it and the Stitched Labels Dies, one of which I used to cut the Merry Merlot mat behind the sentiment, retire tomorrow. I used a Stitched Shapes Die to cut out the sentiment oval after heat embossing the sentiment with white powder. (Stitched Shapes Dies are on the retiring list, but they are not really retiring, just being re-configured for the new catalog launch)

The inside sentiment is also from Stitched All Around. I really like the look of white heat-embossing on Crumb Cake; it really pops! I added a 1/2" strip of the Pressed Petals Specialty to the lower front of the envelope as well as the envelope flap. Using the same designer paper on the envelope really gives that "custom-made" look!

First, a fun golf ball birthday card by Julie Beltramo:

This Golf Club dies cut a realistically-textured golf ball!

This inside sentiment is perfect!
Ellen Barner combined the carrying-over Mountain Air bundle with the Clubhouse bundle. She colored the golfer and the golf ball with Real Red, Shaded Spruce, Crumb Cake, Pineapple Punch, and Ivory Stampin' Blends
She added Clear Wink of Stella to the stamped and cut-out golf-ball for some shine:

She used the Mountain Air stamps for the towering hills in the background the Majestic Mountain Dies to cut the pine tree outline for the horizon:
Another fun sentiment!
