Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked!

Hey there! I had a request to make a card with the Artistically Inked bundle for a party hostess, so I created this card for her party:

IMG_2837 (2)

We stamped the blooms and leaves on Shimmery White paper with Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, and Soft Succulent ink using a stencil as a guide. (I will show you how I did it at the end of this post). I cut the intricate design from Gold Shimmer Vellum (found in the Holiday catalog) using an Artistic Die. I adhered the vellum over the stamped images with glue dots.

IMG_2838 (2)

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Sunny Sentiments stamp set.

IMG_2839

To create the stencil I cut scrap paper with the same Artistic Die that I used to cut the Gold Shimmer Vellum, then used just the remaining paper part with the intricately cut part discarded. I held it in place over the Shimmery White layer and then used it as my guide for stamping the different-sized blooms and leaves.                                               

IMG_2780 (3)

This is a very pretty, watercolor-ish look even without the Gold Shimmer Vellum overlay!

IMG_2782 (2)
We added the greeting from Artistically Inked, stamped with black ink on a 1/2" wide strip of Shimmery White card stock.

This was a quick and fun card to make!

Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends!

Stampin’ Up! Turtle Friends!

Hey there! I'm late posting this morning because my internet was down last night. I tried and tried to get it to come back up, but sometimes you just have to give it up, give it to God, and go to bed, so that's what I did.

I have internet this morning, so before it goes back down I wanted to get this Turtle Friends card posted for you:
IMG_2458 (2)
As you probably already know, I try to make a special birthday card for each of my grandchildren. I used the Give It A Whirl Dies to create this card for Oakley's 8th birthday.

IMG_2459

I adhered a print from the Pattern Party Host Designer Series Paper to a layer of Basic White before cutting with the front layer Give It A Whirl Die.

IMG_2461

I held it all together with a black square brad from the Round & Square Brads pack. The Give It a Whirl Dies even cut the holes to attach the pieces together so everything lines up perfect!

IMG_2462

Such a cute punny sentiment from Turtle Friends!

IMG_2463 (2)

It's time to shell-ebrate!

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air!

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air!

Hey there! Today I have a birthday card to share with you that I created with the Mountain Air stamp set, Majestic Mountain dies, and the Evergreen Border Punch!

IMG_2476 (2)

I used the Double Z-fold for this masculine card.

IMG_2448 (2)

I used sentiments from the Best Year stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink.

IMG_2450

I stamped the mountains with both Smoky Slate and Night of Navy ink, and the treeline with Evening Evergreen. I stamped the clouds with stamped-off Smoky Slate, and colored the sky with a Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend. I cut out a tree from Evening Evergreen card stock with a Majestic Mountain die.

IMG_2454

Not much room to sign this one, so I will put a Basic White layer on the back.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden with Cajun Craze!

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden with Cajun Craze!

Hey there! Today I have a couple of fun cards to share with you created with the Daisy Garden stamp set and Many Messages!

I did a modified Spotlighting technique, stamping the Daisy Garden exactly the same on both Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze using the Stamparatus, then cutting them apart and coloring only select pieces.

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps3 (2)

After I stamped with Soft Suede, cut the rectangles, and adhered to the Soft Suede card front, I then embossed the entire layer in the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps5 (2)

I inked the Many Messages stamp with Soft Suede ink, then cut with the Messages die. You can cut out a ton of greetings all at once! I keep the spare greetings inside the stamp box!

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps6

I added Gilded Gems for a bit of sparkle.

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps7

Inside:

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps8 (2)

This version I colored one section of daisies with Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers.

Stampin_up_cajun_craze_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps10 (2)

I added a bit of Very Vanilla 3/8" Scalloped Trim.
