Stampin’ Up! Game On!

Posted on July 30, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm working on the birthday cards for the August Birthdays this Sunday. I won't tell you who this card is for, but they don't pay much attention to my blog or Facebook, so they probably won't see it!

My family loves to play games; board games, card games, video games, yard games. If there's the word "game" in it they probably want to play it! I've even known them to play TWO games at the same time all sitting around my dining room table!

I used a new Annual Catalog set, Game On, to create this rather masculine birthday card. And yes, there's actually two of them in this picture. I try to make two of every card I create; one to give and one to display!

I stamped the background repeatedly and collage-like with the die and the checkers/chess board images with Tuxedo Black ink on the Crumb Cake layer. The cards are stamped on Whisper White and then hand-cut (there's no dies with this set), but the lines are straight so it was easy to do. I just make sure I leave a little bit of white around the stamped image so the edges look smooth. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels for a pop of color and bling.

I love this sentiment! Perfect for a gamer's birthday!

The chess image is so gorgeous I couldn't resist using it!

Stampin’ Up! Healing Hugs!

Posted on July 27, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I needed to make a Get Well card last week for a dear friend who found out she had a heart attack. She's a little younger than me (I'm 60) so of course I was a bit shocked. She's actually feeling much better now that the stent is in. She didn't realize that some of her symptoms were symptoms of a heart attack, but she should be fine now!

I'm hoping she gets her card in the mail before she sees it here on my blog, but it turned out so lovely I just can't wait any longer to share it! I actually made two, which takes only a little longer than making one, so I would have one to display!

I used Healing Hugs with Gorgeous Grape, Mint Macaron, and Whisper White for my color palette.

It's hard to capture with a camera, but I added Clear Wink of Stella to the fancy-cut bloom!

I tied a bit of Flowers For Every Season Ribbon in a bow and added it with a glue dot. The ribbon is Just Jade, but a softer version that I think blends well with Mint Macaron.

The "Get Well Soon" greeting from Healing Hugs fits perfect inside the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch! I discovered the perfect sequin in the Whale Of A Time Sequins pack!

Inside is all stamped with images from Healing Hugs:
