Stampin’ Up! All My Love Valentine!

Stampin’ Up! All My Love Valentine!

Hey there! Today I have one more designer series paper panel card to share with you.  Similar to the Climbing Roses card I shared with you yesterday, I turned the panels over to the valentine side:

Stampin_up_climbing_roses_carolpaynestamps1

I love that there are two sides to each sheet of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper! I adhered 5 different 1" x 3 3/4" prints from the All My Love pack onto a 3 3/4" x 5" panel, then embossed with the Polka Dot Basics Textured Impressions folder.

Stampin_up_climbing_roses_carolpaynestamps2

The greeting panel was cut with a Support Ribbon Framelit, then I cut a second heart from a Sale-a-bration freebie, Grapefruit Grove & Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets. After cutting it in half and adhering behind the "sending love", I adhered it over the Black 5/8" Glittered Organdy ribbon with dimensionals. I added a basic black scribbled  heart to finish it off along with a single rhinestone over the "O" in LOVE.

I stamped the inside sentiment with black ink and added strips of All My Love paper to the ends.

Stampin’ Up! Faux Denim Geared Up Garage!

Stampin’ Up! Faux Denim Geared Up Garage!

Hey there! The long-awaited day is finally here! The Occasions and Sale-a-bration Catalogs are LIVE for customer orders!

While messing around on Pinterest, I found Australian Gail Ellis' blog, Blue Rose Paper Treasures.  Gail featured an easy technique, "Faux denim", requiring only cardstock and an inkpad!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps1-1

I started with Balmy Blue cardstock, then swiped the open Night of Navy inkpad across the layer several times. I embossed the layer with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions folder. I cut a silver foil layer with a Rectangle Stitched Framelit, and cut the Night of Navy "happy" with a Well Written Framelit.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps5-1

After faux denim-ing a smaller piece of Balmy Blue, I rubbed with an Embossing Buddy to dry up the ink. I stamped the Geared Up Garage car with Versamark and heat embossed with silver powder. It was easy to cut out the car with the Garage Gears Framelit die.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps4

The inside sentiment is a combo of Well Said stamps and Well Written die. These are combined into a bundle so you can save 10%. I added a couple of Night of Navy "oil spills" and some silver foil gears for "pop".

Stampin’ Up! Incredible Like You!

Stampin’ Up! Incredible Like You!

Hey there! On this first day of 2019 I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! I'm also sharing three cards created with the Incredible Like You set!

First, I received this card by Karen Titus in a swap. Karen used a Whisper White Thick card base, layered on an Old Olive square cut with the largest Stitched Shapes square framelit. After stamping the two-step flower from Incredible Like you with Melon Mambo, Karen added Old Olive leaves and  cut with the same Stitched Shapes square framelit. She added the greeting, also from Incredible Like You, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dot for sparkle.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps6

For my first inspired creation I embossed the white background with the new Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions folder and used Balmy Blue Gingham Gala 6" x 6" Designer Paper for the background square. I stamped-off the Mint Macaron leaves once before stamping between the Flirty Flamingo flowers.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps7

I made sure I stamped the greeting BEFORE embossing with the Lace Dynamic folder. I added a Frosted Flower Embellishment in Petal Pink. Frosted Flowers are self-adhesive, making application a snap!

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps9

The card we will be making at my Stampin' In The New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack was created with Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala Designer Paper and the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps1

The two-step blooms from Incredible Like You don't have to be stamped-off because they are created so the solid image automatically stamps lighter. When you stamp the detail image on top it is the darker version of the same ink!

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps2

I still used the same greeting and Petal Pink Frosted Flower Embellishment:

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps3

I borrowed a sentiment from Wonderful Moments for the inside.

Stampin_up_incredible_like_you_carolpaynestamps4

Incredible Like You is the companion stamp set to the Incredible Like You Project Kit on page 21 of the New Occasions Catalog, available to order on January 3rd!

Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage for Sunday Swap Day December 30th!

Stampin’ Up! Geared Up Garage for Sunday Swap Day December 30th!

Hey there! On this last Sunday of 2018 I have a collection of  6 different cards created with the Classic Garage Suite from the 2019 Occasions Catalog! This suite will also be featured at my Stampin' In the New Year Birthday Card Stamp-a-Stack on New Year's Day!

First, Kim Vogel embossed the Basic Black background with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions folder before adding layers of Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon, and an adorable silver wrench from the Classic Garage Metal Elements.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps1

Next, Kelly Acheson used the Big Shot Embossing Mats to use a Garage Gears Thinlets Die to emboss the Basic Gray background of her swap. The car die cuts out both the stamped image from Geared Up Garage and the car image in one of the Classic Garage 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper prints!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps2

Lori Mueller created a fun pocket card, heat embossing the father's day image with silver powder. A Garage Gears Thinlits Die cuts it out too!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps3

The card pulls out. This card would work perfect as a gift card holder!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps4

Karen Titus cut out one of the Classic Garage designer series paper prints with the Garage Gears Thinlit to create the focal image of her z-fold card.

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps5

Another swap by Kim Vogel. Kim cut out Real Red gears with the Garage Gears Thinlits to peek out from behind her car focal image!

Stampin_up_geared_up_garage_carolpaynestamps6

Finally, Karen Titus created an easy flap-fold card with the Classic Garage Suite!

Stampin’ Up! So Hoppy Together for Jaxon!

Stampin’ Up! So Hoppy Together for Jaxon!

Hey there! My grandson, Jaxon, was born on December 26th, so we celebrated his birthday yesterday. For Jaxon's card I used the Sale-abration set, So Hoppy Together and new Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies:

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps1-1

The frog print from retiring Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper coordinates perfectly with the So Hoppy Together frogs. This paper is on the Discounted Retiring List and is only available while-supplies-last. Order it in my online store today!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the So Hoppy for You frog, the flies, and the greeting all with Memento Tuxedo Black ink so I could color with my Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. I used the Granny Apple Green Light & Dark Markers and the Light Highland Heather to color the frog and the flies.

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I use new stamps from the Occasions Catalog bundle, Well Said.

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps4

I must say the die I used to cut out the Gorgeous Grape "happy" was a dream to use! The word practically fell out of the die!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps5

My favorite thing about this card, though, is this phrase, also from the Well Said Bundle!

Stampin_up_so_hoppy_together_carolpaynestamps6

Your shopping list for today! The first three items of this table will be available to order on January 3rd, but you need to order the discounted Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper NOW before it sells out or goes away on January 2nd!
