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!

Stampin’ Up! Happiest of Birthdays for Ivory!

Posted on October 13, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing the special birthday card I created for my granddaughter Ivory's 4th birthday. I created a tri-fold, starting with a Purple Posy card base front and back, adding a layer of Gorgeous Grape before finishing with a Whisper White layer stamped with Buffalo Check and Highland Heather ink. I cut "HAPPY" with one of the Happy Dies, then cut the letters free with my Paper Snips. I added them to the card front with liquid glue, then layered punched medium daisies in Gorgeous Grape and Purple Posy. I punched the heart centers with the Dog Builder Punch and then added a Rhinestone to the centers for some bling.

I adhered three folded pieces of Whisper white to create the tri-fold, then stamped hearts from the Happiest of Birthdays set in Highland Heather and more punched daisies.

This card was a riot of daisies and hearts, perfect for 4 year-old Ivory! She kept saying, "Pretty, pretty!" as she was opening it! I stamped "Make Today Ridiculously Awesome" from the Ridiculously Awesome set to go along with the "HAPPIER" I cut with the Playful Alphabet Dies.

I finished with the same sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays I had used on her momma's card that I showed you yesterday!

Dimensions:

Purple Posy card base: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" – need two to punch both sizes of daisies: scraps

Gorgeous Grape: 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" – need two to cut 'HAPPY" and "HAPPIER" and punch daisies: scraps

Whisper White: 4" x 5 1/4" – need two trifold: three pieces, 7 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored and folded at 4" and adhered to each other

Stampin’ Up! Cute Fruit!

Posted on October 12, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a lovely family party yesterday to celebrate Alisa and Ivory! The weather was perfect for a beautiful fall day!

Today I'm sharing the card I made for my daughter, Alisa. One thing she serves at almost every party is fresh pineapple; so when I saw the pineapple images in the Cute Fruit stamp set, I couldn't resist using them!

The pineapple body and the top are two separate images, but because they are photopolymer (clear) they were easy to fit together! I stamped the body with Daffodil Delight and the top with Granny Apple Green ink. The whisper white strip I stamped on is 2 3/4" wide, so I added two 1/2" wide strips of Rainbow Glimmer Paper to coordinate with the pineapple and the Coastal Cabana card base.

The Cute Fruit stamp set contains three darling little face images, so I decided to personify this pineapple just a little! For my finishing touch I added a few stars from the All the Trimmings Embellishments pack, found in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

This greeting from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set fit perfectly!

This sentiment, also from Happiest of Birthdays, was perfect for the inside!

Dimensions:

Coastal Cabana card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored & folded 5 1/2"

Whisper White focal image strips: 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" – need two

Rainbow Glimmer Paper strips: 1/2" x 5 1/4" – need four

Wondering why you haven't seen Cute Fruit in the Annual or Holiday Catalogs? It's from a special little catalog called the Beginner Brochure! Designed for the beginning stamper to not be overwhelmed all the choices in the other catalogs, you can order from it too! Here's the link to explore the products and projects:

Stampin’ Up! Simply Citrus Part 2!

Posted on September 30, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, today I'm sharing the rest of the cards I created with the Simply Citrus All-Inclusive Kit! This kit is one of the best that Stampin' Up! has ever put together, and that's saying a lot because their kits are always so well-planned they make the paper crafting experience fun and the finished projects are amazing!

The card bases are pre-printed with designer paper-looking designs, and the focal image layers are soooo cute! I paired this lemon-y one with the pre-made label, then stamped the greeting from the kit and added the lemon and tiny flowers to it!

The vellum flowers are so adorable. I added them with a glue dot and then finished the center with a Bumblebee In Color Enamel Dot!

A mat layer of Calypso Coral and a Best Year sentiment finish the inside.

These two cards both use the same card base, but I used different elements so they have their own look!

Both cards share the inside stamped with Simply Citrus images and Many Mates sentiments.

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I played with the Simply Citrus All-Inclusive Card Kit, and WOW, it has everything to make 15 super-cute cards in a snap!

The kit includes card bases, matching envelopes, and pre-printed focal images, like this:

I stamped on this kit label with Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, and Night of Navy. The kit includes a Night of Navy 1" square Stampin' Spot. The Calypso Coral Baker's Twine is included.

I added a Bumblebee In Color Enamel Dot to the center of this tiny vellum kit flower!

I used two Many Mates sentiments inside. I added Mango Melody card stock and Whisper White layers, but you can stamp directly on the inside of the card if you prefer.

I love this tiny citrus background layer!

"Just a Note" is from the Simply Citrus stamp set!

A "Best Year" sentiment:

I used Playful Alphabet dies to create the "15!"

Another Best Year sentiment:

Tomorrow I will share the rest of the cards I made with Simply Citrus!

Stampin’ Up! Word Wishes Split Circle!

Posted on September 28, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is my first baby's birthday, and I am getting to spend a few hours with her! Today we have pedi's scheduled, eating (her choice, of course) and then to Hobby Lobby. A perfect day!

Today I'm sharing the card I created for her with the "split circle" technique. She is a "cheetah print" girl, so I used a Basic Black, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, and Gold Foil color scheme:

The Split Circle technique is so easy and fun! I used Layering Circles Dies to cut a Soft Suede and Gold small circles, a Bumblebee medium circle, and a Soft Suede and Gold large circles. The circles are then cut in half and layered on to each other with liquid glue to create the "swirl" effect. You will have a few half circles leftover, but you can use them for another card. I cut the "Happy Day" with Word Wishes dies, layering the Bumblebee words on top of Basic Black ones with liquid glue. I used a Well Written die for the exclamation point.

Inside I used a sentiment from Happiest of Birthdays:

Happiest Of Birthdays Cling Stamp Set (English)	Layering Circles Dies	Word Wishes Dies
Well Written Dies	Hammered Metal 3D Embossing Folder	Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Soft Suede 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Bumblebee 8-1/2X11 Cardstock	Gold Foil Sheets
