Stampin’ Up! Lots of Happy In the Wild Card!

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A few weeks ago a friend asked me to create a card for her dear friend that was moving out-of-state and taking her zebra with her!

How often do you get a card request like that?

I used a retired set, In The Wild. It has a 2003 copywrite!

The card requested also needed to be larger than the regular 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" I normally make, so I made the card 5 1/2" x 7:

I used Glossy card stock, rubbing first with my embossing buddy, then stamping the zebra repeatedly with Versamark. After sprinkling all of the zebras with clear embossing powder, I heated them with my heat tool. I used a Sponge Brayer to roll Crushed Curry ink all over. I burnished (rubbed) the piece with a tissue to remove excess ink and to make the zebras "pop". I then sponged the edges and lightly over the piece with Tuxedo Black ink for a distressed look.

After stamping the zebra on a rectangle of Whisper White with Tuxedo Black ink, I added a sentiment from the Lots of Happy Card Kit and sponged with both Crushed Curry and black ink. I stamped the "FRIEND" from the Bouquet Blooms set.

Inside I used another sentiment from Lots of Happy:

I used the Motion Stamping technique, continuing to stamp multiple times in a row without re-inking the stamp, to get the look of a running zebra.

I used the Envelope Punch Board, which is retiring, to create a custom envelope using some retired black-and-white designer paper. This was a fun card to make!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Season His Grace!

Posted on March 30, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm blogging on Saturday, which hasn't been my usual lately, but I wanted to share one more Painted Seasons/Story Label Punch card with you before Sale-a-bration ends tomorrow!

This time I used Powder Pink and Pear Pizzazz as my color palette to create another card for Easter:

I simply stamped the blooms with all Powder Pink for a more formal look. No rock n' roll this time!

I didn't want the ribbon to overpower the greeting, so I cut the Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle in half to make it thinner before tying the bow and adhering with a glue dot.

I love this sentiment from the His Grace set. I may have to make some cards with it for my new daughter-in-law, Grace!

Stampin’ Up! Strong & Beautiful for Mother’s Day!

Posted on March 8, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card. It's always good to have those cards ready in advance because inspiration doesn't always strike when we need it, does it?

I used by Stamparatus to stamp "Happy Mother's Day" from the Occasions Catalog set, Strong & Beautiful, eight times on the front layer. The Stamparatus comes in handy any time you need to stamp repetitively!

I used a Rose Trellis framelit to cut out two roses, one from Pear Pizzazz and another from Powder Pink. I cut away the pink leaves, then used a Fine Tip Glue Pen to adhere the bloom over the Pear Pizzazz one. I also used Fine Tip Glue to adhere the entire piece to the card.

I used more Rose Trellis thinlits to cut the leaves for the corners.

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Strong & Beautiful. The blooms in the bottom corner are from the Climbing Roses set. I colored the blooms with my Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend.

I don't have my mom anymore, but hope this will help you have one ready for your's.

Stampin’ Up! Cats Instead of Teacups!

Posted on February 20, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing cards created by my long-time stampers, Donna & Jennifer Ninness. I've been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator for over 16 years, and these gals have been stamping with me for probably 12 of those years. The two cards I'm sharing today were the result of "necessity being the mother of invention":

This card had the Tea Together teacup, but I forgot to bring my Stamparatus, which had the teacup mounted on it, so they grabbed the new Nine Lives stamp set from one of their last orders and went to work! Cats instead of teacups! TaDa!

The Cat Punch from the Annual Catalog punches the kitty perfectly! Jennifer's card featured this gray tabby:

Donna's kitty is more of a gray calico. She stamped the Real Red bow from Nine Lives and then cut it out. I'm pretty sure Jennifer added a bow to her kitty after she saw Donna's!

With 17 different images in Nine Lives, you have lots of choose from! Like I said, cats instead of teacups!

Nine Lives Photopolymer Stamp Set [148703] $16.00	Cat Punch [144666] $18.00	Delightfully Detailed Note Cards & Envelopes [146911] $9.50

Stampin’ Up! I Thought of YOU Today!

Posted on January 10, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had fun playing with the Climbing Roses Bundle and All My Love Designer Series Paper the past few days! I created these cards for a swap I just mailed away on Saturday. I wanted to use the same layout as the panel cards, but need to speed-up the process, so I chose a couple of my favorite prints and used one print for each card!

The All My Love DSP coordinates with Crumb Cake, Whisper White, and Lovely Lipstick:

The Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle is a perfect complement for this paper!

The Gold Metallic Pearl looks sort of Crumb Cake-ish when paired with this paper.

The font of this Kindness & Compassion sentiment coordinates well with the font of the greeting.

The Flirty Flamingo version:

The Rose Trellis Framelit to cut out the greeting is one of my newest favs!

I'll be moving on to a different stamp set, layout, and colors tomorrow, so be sure to come by and see me!

The shopping list for today's projects:

Climbing Roses Cling Bundle [150603]	All My Love 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [148576]	Whisper White 5/8" (1.6 Cm) Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon [146912]
Metallic Pearls [146282]	Climbing Vine Textured Impressions Embossing Folder [147187]	Kindness & Compassion Clear-Mount Stamp Set [146729]
Crumb Cake 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [120953]	Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad [147116]	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [100730]
Lovely Lipstick Classic Stampin' Pad [147140]	SNAIL Permanent Adhesive [104332]	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430]
