Stampin’ Up! Honey Bee Online Order Gift!

Posted on May 2, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The past couple of days my blog has had issues with uploading pictures, so it was pointless to blog, but today the upload function works again, so I wanted to share with you this simple card I created with the Honey Bee Bundle for my May Online Ordering thank you card:

Just so you know, the Honey Bee bundle of stamps and dies are retiring on June 4th. I KNOW? This set is soooooo cute and versatile! I'm sad. So I created this card for my thank you gift for any online order this month and I'm going to be announcing an online class with this set this month too, so be on the look-out!

I used the retiring Honey Bee Bundle of stamps and dies and one of the flower centers from the retiring Daisy Delight stamp set for the polka-dot background on the Crumb Cake card base. I stamped the flower center with Whisper White Craft ink randomly for the polka-dot effect.

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the Crushed Curry beehive for a bit of subtle shimmer.

I used a retiring Detailed Bee die to cut the retiring Gold Glimmer paper. I adhered to the card with tiny dots of liquid glue.

This card can be used a a birthday, congratulations, or birthday card. So versatile!

Stampin’ Up! Bird Ballad Scrappy Strips!

Posted on April 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I couldn't resist playing with the Scrappy Strips technique again, this time with the retiring Bird Ballad Designer Series paper!

I cut up lots of scraps of Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper to create this card. I also used a stamp set I love but haven't used enough, Here's A Card for the greeting and inside sentiment. I stamped the "Hello there" with Tuxedo Black ink, then stamped the single bloom from Free As A Bird with Pool Party before punching with the retiring 1" Circle Punch. I punched Pool Party with the retiring 1 1/8" Scalloped Circle Punch to mat behind it.

I cut a thin strip of Basic Gray card stock, then embossed with the Subtle 3D Embossing Folder to create a faux ribbon. I hand-cut the birds on the flowery branch with Paper Snips to mount over the "ribbon" with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside I used another Here's A Card sentiment and stamped the Free As A Bird birds on a branch with stamped-off Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin’ Up! Garden Lane Scrappy Strips!

Posted on April 28, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have finally jumped on the Scrappy Strip technique bandwagon with this card created with Daisy Lane stamps and Garden Lane Designer paper!

Scrappy Strips is a super-easy way to use up all of those little strips of paper that you never know what to do with! Too pretty to throw away, but too small to do much with, I usually just keep them forever! I pulled out all of those little strips, used my paper trimmer to cut one side of each strip just slightly diagonal, and started laying them on a piece of Whisper White card stock, leaving a thin bit of white showing between each strip. When I was done, I used my paper snips to trim off the excess portion of the strip extending beyond the edge of the white card stock.

I used the small daisy from Daisy Lane to stamp and punch out two Mint Macaron daisies, then sandwiched a plain white one in between them with liquid glue. I finished the daisy with a now-retiring Clear Faceted Gem. I heat embossed the "Smile" greeting with white powder and Versamark ink.

Inside I chose to use a sentiment from the now-retiring Beautiful Day.

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Thanks CASEing the New Catalog!

Posted on April 27, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Stampin' Up! released the New Annual Catalog to demonstrators a few days ago. I checked out the card samples made with the Ornate Garden Suite. I fell in love with a little square card created with the Ornate Borders dies:

Stampin' Up! also released a Catalog Samples guide to demos with supply lists for every sample in the new catalog. I used the list to put this card together. I used the card stock colors of Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, and Pool Party. Each strip was cut with an Ornate Borders Die, then added to a 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" square of Whisper White using liquid glue. Don't worry, when the New Annual Catalog goes live on June 3rd I'll be sharing the Catalog Samples Guide PDF with you!

I heat embossed the sentiment with white powder on a rectangle of Basic Black, then punched the corners just a bit with a 1/2" Circle Punch.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Ornate Thanks, and added snippets from the border strips to each corner.

I can tell already the New Annual Catalog is going to be fun to shop, as well as providing tons of inspiration! Let me know if I can mail you one in May. Put your name and address in the comments!

Supplies to order:

NOTE: The Ornate Borders dies are currently on the "not orderable" list. I will notify you when a they do become available to order.
