Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream for Darcy!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Ice Cream for Darcy!

Hey there! Yesterday my granddaughter, Darcy, graduated from Kindergarten and I got to go to the ceremony! I wanted to make her a card to commemorate the occasion, so I pulled out the Sweet Ice Cream Suite from the Spring Mini Catalog.

Darcy loves popsicles  more than she does ice cream, so I used one of the prints from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper that has fun popsicles all over it with Bermuda Bay card stock and ink:

Stampin_up_sweet_ice_cream_carolpaynestamps1

I embossed a Bermuda Bay panel on the left side with one of the Checks & Dots embossing folder. These folders are created to fit in the Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, a fun, smaller, more portable and affordable version of the standard Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

Stampin_up_sweet_ice_cream_carolpaynestamps2

I used the Tailored Tag Punch for the greeting, then added a few of the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles with tiny dots of liquid glue. I used the Take Your Pick Tool to pick up the sprinkles and place them on the glue.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Expressions In Ink!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Expressions In Ink!

Hey there! I sometimes like to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) my own work and share another version. Such is the case with the card I have for you today. I CASE'd the card I shared for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop but with other prints from the Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper pack:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps1 (2)

After I adhered and DSP (Designer Series Paper) and card stock layer (just barely adhered) to a white 5 1/2" x 4" layer and then to the card front, I cut it with a smooth Layering Circle Die. I then removed the card stock layer and embossed with the Pretty Flowers folder, then adhered the embossed card stock permanently to the card front. I then cut the scalloped circle ring with the same circle die I used to cut through the entire card front and the scalloped circle die that is the next size bigger. I adhered the ring to the opening with a thin line of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps2

The Pretty Flowers Embossing folder is sooooo pretty! It's a must-have!

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps3

The sentiment stamped on the inside does double duty since it peeks through the circle opening in the front layers!

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps4 (2)

Dimensions for the card:

Just Jade base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"

Basic White front layer: 4" x 5 1/4" inside layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Expressions In Ink/Magenta Madness card stock blocks: 1 3/4" x 3" – need two, 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" – need one

Just Jade for scalloped circle window: 3" x 3"

Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon: about 6"

Stampin’ Up! Polished Pink Artistically Inked!

Stampin’ Up! Polished Pink Artistically Inked!

Hey there! I am still playing with my Artistically Inked Bundle of stamps and dies. Today's card was created with a monochromatic look of Polished Pink and Basic White:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps1

My process to achieve this inlaid die-cut look was simple:

  1. Cut the Polished Pink layer with the Artistic Die.
  2. Emboss the layer with the Pretty Flowers folder.
  3. Adhere the layer over a Basic White layer on the card front.
  4. Insert the die-cut back into the layer and adhere with tiny drops of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the "hello" from the Artistically Inked set with black ink on a white strip, then used Paper Snips to cut banner points. I added a bow tied with Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon with a glue dot, and then added a few Polished Pink jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels pack.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the inside with another Artistically Inked sentiment and added a partial die-cut to the lower left corner with liquid glue.

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Phrases is Retiring!

Stampin’ Up! Fancy Phrases is Retiring!

Hey there! I'm finishing up my series of Last Chance Products Sale ideas with the retiring set, Fancy Phrases. I'm really sorry to see this set go. It's only been in the catalog one year, but it's a solid favorite of mine. But I'm sure I will find new favorites when the new Annual Catalog debuts on May 4th!

I used Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray to create these two triple time cards with Fancy Phrases. Check out the entire post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa8088330263e98c20e8200b-450wi

For this card I embossed the blooms on vellum, then hand-cut them out! Check out the whole post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa8088330263e98d00c5200b-450wi

I combined Fancy Phrases greetings with Hydrangea Hill Designer paper and retiring Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle. See the whole post HERE.

6a00e54f70aa8088330263e98da505200b-450wi

The greetings in the retiring Fancy Phrases fit so many of our punches, such as the Tailored Tag I used on this card. Find the details HERE.

6a00e54f70aa8088330278801270d3200d-450wi

Right  now Fancy Phrases is bundled with the Fancy Tag Topper. Order the bundle and save 10% on all of it! Check out the post for this card HERE.

6a00e54f70aa80883302788011c0b0200d-450wi

This concludes my series of cards I've created with products on the Last Chance Products Sale List. I hope this helps you make your decisions of what to order, but don't wait! These goodies will sell out fast!

Come by tomorrow to see a brand new card!
