Stampin’ Up! Merci!

Posted on March 9, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card to share with you that I created for my Parisian Blossoms class last month. I wanted to use the Scalloped Note Cards & Envelopes found on page 168 of the Annual Catalog. I have had these for awhile but hadn't used them yet. What was I thinking? These are perfect for creating a quick card!

Not only is the front of the card base scalloped, the envelope flap is too!

I cut a piece of vellum the same size as the designer paper, then adhered with a couple of glue dots strategically placed where I new I would be adding the flourish and the "merci".

I added the Pool Party flourish, cut with a Parisian die, with the tiniest dots of liquid glue!

Inside is pretty clean and simple:

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts!

Posted on March 6, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card created with Positive Thoughts and coordinating dies, Nature's Thoughts!

I paired these lovely sets with Noble Peacock Foil and the Tailored Tag Punch. The Blueberry Bushel foil cut with the dotted rectangle from Nature's Thoughts really pops!

I love how the dies cut out the detailed images so perfectly! Positive Thoughts will be around till the end of May, but the dies will only be available through the end of this month!

I stamped Old Olive on Old Olive, Lovely Lipstick on Lovely Lipstick, and Mango Melody on Mango Melody.

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the bloom and the butterfly for some shimmer.

I used the same stamps, without re-inking, to stamp the inside and even stamped a third time on the envelope!

If you love this set and especially the Nature's Thoughts dies, you need to order them now!

Here’s the PDF tutorial for you!

Stampin’ Up! Wildly Happy!

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing my first creation with Wildly Happy, an adorable bunny baby card!

I stamped the bunnies with second-generation (stamped-off on scrap paper) Crumb Cake so the coloring could look softer. See the supply list and instruction sheet at the end of this post for the colors and technique I used!

It's probably hard to see, but I colored mother and baby with Clear Wink of Stella for some sparkle.

I tied Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle in a simple knot over the Blushing Bride layer embossed with the Scripty 3-D folder.

I kept the inside pretty simple!

Stampin’ Up! Fable Friends Duckies!

Posted on April 19, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Good Friday, and when I was a little girl I could never understand why it was called Good Friday when it was commemorating the day that Jesus was crucified. How could that day be called good? But I am so thankful that Jesus willingly laid down his life for the whole world, and even me! So today IS Good Friday!

Today I have a cute little card created with the Fable Friends ducklings and Gingham Gala Designer Paper:

Aren't these little guys simply the cutest?
