Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Little Ladybug!

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration Little Ladybug!

Hey there! With granddaughter #6 due to arrive on February 3rd, I'm on a mission to get as much accomplished before that date as I can! You'll find me posting here a few times a week so I can concentrate on prepping for my upcoming stamping events this month and the next!

Today I  have a "thinking of you" card that could double as a Valentine, created with the Host-Exclusive Sale-a-bration set, Little Ladybug! This set is only available to hosts that have an  order or party sales of at least $300. You can't get this set any other way!

I combined Little Ladybug images with From My Heart Specialty paper,  Heart Punch Pack, and Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder:

Stampin_up_little_ladybug_carolpaynestamps1

From My Heart Specialty paper is a mix of Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, and Whisper White, along with foil accents! I colored the ladybug with Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends.

After stamping and punching the greeting, I added a few Peaceful Poppies sequins with liquid glue, placing them carefully with my Take Your Pick tool.

The inside sentiment and the row of playful ladybugs are both included in the Little Ladybug set.

Stampin’ Up! Under My Umbrella!

Stampin’ Up! Under My Umbrella!

Hey there! January is a catch-up month for me. I try to use this month to put away all of my Christmas stuff (except for snowmen, who stay on display until at at least the end of February), as well as try to get some projects done that I don't have time for in the fall.

That said, I'm working right now on stamping projects for the next three months so I am ready when my newest granddaughter arrives on February 3rd (scheduled c-section).  Today I want to share with you the card I created for my Yes Mam! Stamper's meeting last Saturday. We had a Shoebox Swap and had a blast making each other's cards!

For my Shoebox Swap I used the new Under My Umbrella Bundle from page 42 of the Spring Mini Catalog with From My Heart Specialty Designer Series Paper (pg 9 of the Spring Mini) I used the Umbrella Builder Punch to punch out the umbrella and the handle. I used my Paper Snips to cut out the rain boots.

Stampin_up_under_my_umbrella_carolpaynestamps1

I did a little bit of white heat embossing on the Real Red greeting strip to give a negative-image look to contrast with the blooms I stamped on the white background  with Real Red ink. I dry embossed a layer of Flirty Flamingo with the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder to give a look of raindrops.

Stampin’ Up! A Gather Together Birthday Card for Troy!

Stampin’ Up! A Gather Together Birthday Card for Troy!

Hey there! Yesterday my oldest son, Troy, had a birthday, but I waited until after his day to share his card.

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped "Happy Birthday" from Country Road with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla, then stamped the pussy willows with stamped-off Crumb Cake before punching with the Classic Label Punch. I layered it on a Crumb Cake layer that I embossed with the Pinewood Planks 3D folder and then lightly sponged with Crumb Cake ink to bring out the texture.

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps2

I pressed the Gathered Leaves die into the Cajun Craze inkpad before cutting, then off-set from the leaf die-cut opening so the Cajun Craze layer would peek through. I repeated the process for the Crumb Cake and Crushed Curry leaves.

Stampin_up_gather_together_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I used a sentiment from Itty Bitty Birthdays, stamped on Very Vanilla.

Here's the tutorial for this card:

Stampin’ Up! Country Roads!

Stampin’ Up! Country Roads!

Hey there! Today I have a birthday card I created while working on birthday cards for my two sons who have birthdays this month. I received the Country Roads stamp set in the order I placed during the Flash Sale a couple of weeks ago, so was excited to play with it!

Today's card didn't make the cut for my boy's birthdays (I create a different card for each child, spouse, and grandchild), but I like the concept, so I'm sharing it with you for inspiration. You'll be seeing this card sketch again!

Stampin_up_country_roads_carolpaynestamps1

I used both sides of one sheet of Come to Gather Designer Series Paper, stamping the weather vane with stamped-off Early Espresso, and cutting out the leaves with a Gathered Leaves die. I cut the colored leaves after flipping the paper over so the leaves would be going the same direction.

Stampin_up_country_roads_carolpaynestamps3

I wanted the leaves to pop a little bit extra so I created stacks of dimensionals on the back side of the leaves.

Stampin_up_stacked_dimensionals_carolpaynestamps

Inside I stamped-off the weather vane twice before stamping on the Whisper White layer, then stamped the sentiment from Country Roads with full-strength Early Espresso.
