Stampin’ Up! Handsomely Suited for Troy Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Handsomely Suited for Troy Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I decided to use the Well Suited Suite of products from the Spring 2021 Catalog for my son Troy's birthday card too. The Handsomely Suited stamp set actually has four different tie images, so it was easy to make another card with a similar layout:

IMG_1220 (2)

I created my own background by repeatedly stamping the "you're the best" phrase from the Handsomely Suited stamp set.  This print from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper is so cherry on it's own, but it was made even better by stamping it with the polka-dot tie image and then cut with a Suit & Tie die!

IMG_1223

The inside sentiment is also from Handsomely Suited.

IMG_1224 (2)

Only Stampin' Up! Demonstrators can pre-order this suite right now, but customers can order it starting January 5, 2021.

Want to own the Well Suited Bundle now? You can get it by choosing it as part of your $99 Starter Kit when you sign up in December.

Stampin’ Up! Handsomely Suited Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Handsomely Suited Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I have two sons with November birthdays and this year we celebrated them at our family's Thanksgiving. I had just received the Well Suited Bundle from the upcoming Spring 2021 Catalog, so I pulled it out and played! This suite, while geared for creating masculine cards,  has a lot of possibilities that are not just for men!

Today, however, I'm sharing Logan's card created with the Handsomely Suited stamp set, Suite & Tie Dies (Bundle), and Well Suited Designer Series Paper:

IMG_1215 (2)

I stamped the bow ties directly on prints from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper and then cut them out with the corresponding Suite & Tie Die.

IMG_1217

When stamped with Tuxedo Black in on the Whisper White inside layer, I definitely see a pink "hair bow" in this stamps future! The sentiment is included in the Handsomely Suited stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy!

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another set of cards I created with the Quite Curvy Bundle and Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper!

This first card has a base of Early Espresso and Very Vanilla for the middle sentiment area.

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps1

I love how the Quite Curvy sentiments are already curved to coordinate with the die-cut curves!

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps6

These leaves are from a longer set. After I gold heat-embossed the leaves on Gold Foil I cut out two sets of leaves to accent the ends of the sentiment. The Gilded Gems are just the right finishing touch!

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped another Quite Curvy sentiment and leaves with Early Espresso ink.

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps7

For my second card I cut more curves from Gold Foil and used the inside sentiment from the first card on the front of this one!

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps10

I love all of the little "dots" the die cuts! I used the rest of the strip of gold embossed leaves from the first card to accent this one.

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps11

I used a line in the Plaid Tidings Designer paper to keep the Gilded Gems straight.

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps13

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Best Year and the entire strip of leaves with Early Espresso ink. I added 1/2" wide strips of Gold Foil above and below the sentiment layer to coordinate with all of the gold I used on the front.

Stampin_up_plaid_tidings_curvy_celebrations_carolpaynestamps15

Dimensions:

Early Espresso base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" (landscape)

Plaid Tidings layer: 3" x 5 1/2"

Brushed Gold for curves: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" for leaf strip: 1 1/2" x 5"

Very Vanilla layers: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Emboss Resist!

Stampin’ Up! Tasteful Touches Emboss Resist!

Hey there! Welcome back today for another card idea with the In Good Taste Suite! Tasteful Touches is fast becoming one of my favorites from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog! I had fun creating this emboss resist birthday card using Tasteful Touches and the Tasteful Labels dies!

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_emboss_resist_carolpaynestamps1

Emboss Resist is a technique I've always done with glossy card stock, but we don't carry that in the catalog anymore, so I tried it with regular Whisper White and it worked fine!

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_emboss_resist_carolpaynestamps2

I cut the greeting with a Tasteful Labels die:

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_emboss_resist_carolpaynestamps3

And added Misty Moonlight 1/4" In Color Ribbon to coordinate with the Night of Navy.

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_emboss_resist_carolpaynestamps4

The bow was pretty easy. I tied it in the middle of the ribbon before wrapping it around the layer.

Stampin_up_tasteful_touches_emboss_resist_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I used a phrase from So Sentimental.
