Stampin’ Up! Abstract Impressions Easel!

Posted on June 11, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! You knew I would eventually make an easel card with Abstract Impressions, didn't you! I love the easel-fold, and this bundle feels like it was created for it!

I chose Melon Mambo for my card base, stamped on the white layer with Melon Mambo ink, then sponged the flowers and leaves cut with a Springtime Impressions Thinlet. I used new Shaded Spruce, Powder Pink, Melon Mambo, and new Highland Heather.

I added black faceted gems for some sparkle.

Inside I cut the sentiments with Celebrate You Thinlet Dies, then sponged them with the same colors as the front. The cut sentiments are flexible, so I was able to curve them a bit as I was adhering with liquid glue "painted" with a small brush.

The finished easel:

Stampin’ Up! Abstract Impressions, CASEing Myself!

Posted on June 9, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I CASED myself when creating this card for Cindy's Stamp Camp today with Abstract Impressions. She was looking at my recent creations and chose THIS card, but requested it in a different color, so I used Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist. I love the original, but I sure am diggin' these colors too!

I really, really, really LOVE this sentiment! It's from Abstract Impressions too!

This card combines the Spotlighting Technique with a paper-saving tip: Cut the greeting mat directly from the stamped front layer!

After you add the Coastal Cabana oval mat behind the greeting and adhere with dimensionals, you'll never be able to tell where it came from!

Photography is so weird. This is the inside of the same card, but here you can really tell it's Coastal Cabana and Lemon Lime Twist. In the pic above the colors look like Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz!

Stampin’ Up! Stitched All Around!

Posted on June 8, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card with the new Stitched All Around Bundle! I know I'm going to be using this one A LOT!

I started with a Delightfully Detailed Notecard base. These notecards are pre-printed with a watercolor wash of Blackberry Bliss or Mint Macaron, so your background is already done! I added a strip of Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, then wrapped the front with Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. This ribbon makes a knot look like you tied a bow!

I used Shaded Spruce and Blackberry Bliss markers to ink the sentiment before stamping on the intricately cut and "stitched" label. At first I thought the die didn't cut all the way through, but further inspection assured me this is the way it's supposed to look! For my final touch I added an embellishment from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit.

Inside I stamped more sentiments and a vine from Stitched All Around:

Stampin’ Up! Varied Vellum Vases!

Posted on June 7, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While playing with Varied Vases, I paired it with the Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and vellum to create this lovely card:

For my colors I chose Whisper White, Highland Heather, and a touch of Blackberry Bliss.

I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to one side of the vellum before embossing with the Lovely Floral Folder. After embossing I removed the adhesive backing so I could adhere it to the Highland Heather card front. Not a bit of adhesive shows through the vellum! I punched the greeting and blooms with the 1" Circle Punch, then layered on a piece of Highland Heather punched with the 1 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch.

I embossed the vellum layer twice with the Lovely Floral folder, then embossed the vellum strip to go across the card.

A few well-placed pearls add elegance.

I love all of the possibilities with this set!

Stampin’ Up! Varied Vases!

Posted on June 6, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of the very popular bundles in the new Annual Catalog is Varied Vases. Found on page 45 of the Annual Catalog, the Varied Vases photopolymer stamp set is paired with the Vases Builder Punch in a bundle that saves you 10% over ordering the two separately.

I used Lovely Lipstick ink to fill in the blooms to match the Lovely Lipstick print from the 2018-2020 In Color 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper pack. I cut the circles with Layering Circle Framelits.

"Birthday Wishes", one of the five sentiments included in Varied Vases, fits perfectly inside the Classic Label Punch. I love the font used in this set!

I finished the inside with more Varied Vases images:
