Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap for Jaxon!

Posted on January 6, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Did you get a chance to check out the new catalogs yet? If you haven't, click on the links on the sidebar to check them out!

Today's card was created for my grandson Jaxon's 9th birthday. His birthday is December 26th, but with postponing our family Christmas we had to celebrate his birthday along with our family Christmas on New Year's Day. We compressed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Jaxon's birthday all into one day! It was exhausting but fun!

I used the new Oh Snap stamp set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog to create Jaxon's card:

This set has so many cute images and words. I started with this "oh snap!" phrase,

which then coordinated with the "it's your birthday!" I colored the crocodile with my Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

Inside I used the same crocodile but paired it with more sentiments from the set.

Jaxon enjoyed his card much like any other 9 year-old would; he was more interested in the gift! But that's O.K. I don't need accolades from my grandchildren, I just want them to know how special they are to me. It's fun to hear the other ones saying "oooh, this card is from Grammie". I think everyone else enjoys the card as much or more than the birthday boy!

Oh Snap Photopolymer Stamp Set	Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock

Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 31, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! On this last day of 2020 I want to just say that while this year has not be anything like any of us expected, I'm still thankful for life, for my family, and for my Savior. HE is what has brought us through this year and I am praying 2021 is better for everyone!

Today I have a few cards to share that I have created with the new Garden Wishes Bundle from the upcoming January/June Mini Catalog. I also used the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder and the Curvy Dies that are also in the mini.

First, a Bumblebee/Whisper White creation with a Smoky Slate base and the bee stamped on Smoky Slate:

Inside sentiment from Garden Wishes:

I made this one "pop" a bit more by using a Basic Black mat behind the flowers:

My favorite is this one stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink:

When I added Clear Wink of Stella to the blooms it blurred the ink just a bit, which I liked!

The blooms and the Rich Razzleberry mat behind them were all cut with a Dandy Wishes die. I cut the Rich Razzleberry layer in half so I could "stretch" it to fit around the stamped blooms. I adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Another Garden Wishes sentiment:

The Garden Wishes Bundle will be available to order beginning on January 5th!

Stampin’ Up! Another Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 28, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another card I created with the Fine Art Floral Suite! This time I created a "book-style" card so I could feature both sides of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper:

For this card I only cut out the "just" from the "just want to say" die cut to coordinate with the "thinking of you" sentiment. Originally "I'm thinking of you" in the Art Gallery stamp set, I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to omit the "I'm". I cut it out with a Floral Gallery Die, then layered on a strip of Basic Black. I framed it with a Gilded Gem on each end to complement the strip of Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate I added over the Basic Black "spine" of the card front.

I stamped the inside with a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, another new one from the January/June 2021 Mini Catalog. See how pretty the other side of the designer paper I used for the front flap is? I have the measurements below so you can make a card like this one too!

Measurements for today's card:

Basic Black card base: 5 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored at 4 1/4"

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper front: 4" x 5 1/2"

Basic Black to cut "just": 1 1/2" x 3" greeting mat: 5/8" x 3"

Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate: 3/4" x 5 1/2"

Whisper White greeting strip: 1" x 3" inside layer: 3 3/4" x 4 3/4"

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper inside strip: 1/2" x 3 3/4"

You will be able to order the Fine Art Floral Suite and all of it's components beginning January 5th!

Until then you probably should check out the Year End Closeout Retiring List and Clearance Rack. You can view the list here:

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our first day out of quarantine, and although I don't think we are venturing out yet and may not for a few more days, it's good to know we don't have to stay home!

We will be having our family Christmas next week on New Year's Day, so I still have Christmas-y things to do when I feel up to it. We are still pretty tired.

Today I'm sharing a fun card I created with the new Art Gallery Bundle from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

The element that attracted me the most to this bundle was the Floral Gallery Dies with the "just want to say" phrase, so of course I used it on the very first card I made! I embossed the Petal Pink layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder after I had added the strip of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I added a bow tied with Mossy Meadow 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to coordinate with the Mossy Meadow card base.

Inside I inked the flowers with Blushing Bride then used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to add the streaks of color to the blooms.

All of the stamps, dies, and accessories used on today's card will be available to order starting on January 5th, 2021!

Until then you can shop the Year-End Closeout for some good deals on retiring Holiday Catalog products. All items are while-supplies-last. Check inventory in my online store to be sure of availability.

Stampin’ Up! Color Challenge!

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Welcome to the Stampers Dozen October Blog Hop! Our theme is Color Challenge with these yummy colors: Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla!

I decided to use the Love of Leaves Bundle to create a gate fold:

I embossed Cinnamon Cider front panels with the Old World Paper 3D folder. I added 1/4" wide strips of Gold Foil to the edges.

I used Stitched Leaves Dies to cut Cherry Cobbler, Bumblebee, Early Espresso, and Gold Foil leaves. I punched the greeting strip with the Banners Pick a Punch and added a 3/8" Embroidered Ribbon bow.

I stamped Love of Leaves images with Early Espresso, Bumblebee, and Cherry Cobbler to accent the Early Espresso-stamped Love of Leaves sentiment.

Just click on the name after mine or any name on the list to view the rest of the hop!
