Stampin’ Up! Soar Confidently!

Posted on January 19, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another masculine birthday card to share. I created this one with the new Soar Confidently stamp set from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. It's a stand-alone set, which means there are no dies or punches to accompany it but I love vintage images, so I had to have it to play with!

After I stamped the bi-plane with black ink I then used a Blending Brush to softly swirl Pool Party ink for the sky.

I was able to leave the area of the greeting ink-free. I added a couple of Gilded Gems because while sparkly, they also look a bit industrial, or rivet-like.

I embossed the Pool Party layers with the Old World Paper 3D embossing folder to continue the look of clouds.

Inside I used sentiments from Handsomely Suited, another mini catalog stamp set.

Speaking of the Mini Catalog and the Sale-a-bration brochure, if you usually receive these mailings from me but you haven't received your copies yet, please let me know ASAP so I can notify Stampin' Up! to re-mail. Hopefully the January P.O. will be faster!

Stampin’ Up! Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder Card with New Blending Brushes!

Posted on January 11, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While scrolling back through the past couple of weeks of posts I've realized I missed posting this card I created along with the Garden Wishes cards I shared with you HERE. So without further delay, here's a card created with the Dandelion 3D embossing folder, Curvy Dies, Garden Wishes, and the new Blending Brushes!

This is a better view of the area embossed with the Dandelions 3D Embossing folder. After embossing I used one of the new Blending Brushes to add Bumblebee ink to the raised areas. These brushes are absolutely wonderful! You can get as heavy or as light of ink coverage as you want and when you are done you simply rinse the brush with cold water, pat it dry with a clean towel, and it's ready to use again in another color! I also added color to the edges of the Basic White layer with the same Blending Brush.

I colored white Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon with a Dark Basic Black Stampin' Blend to tie in a bow. I added a single Opal Round to the bottom corner to finish it all off.

NOW I have shared all of the Garden Wishes cards I've made (so far)!

Supplies to order:

Dandelions 3D Embossing Folder	Garden Wishes Bundle (English)	Garden Wishes Cling Stamp Set
Blending Brushes	Curvy Dies	Gold 3/8" (1 Cm) Metallic-Edge Ribbon
Basic Black Stampin' Blends Combo Pack	Bumblebee Classic Stampin' Pad	Smoky Slate 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
Bumblebee 8-1/2X11 Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
Stampin' Seal	Mini Stampin' Dimensionals	Mini Glue Dots
Basic White Medium Envelopes

Stampin’ Up! Pattern Play Shaker Cards!

Posted on November 16, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to make a couple of birthday cards with the red/pink Sequins for Everything:

The first one is the basic clear-envelope shaker:

I white heat-embossed the greeting and some sparkles directly on a piece of Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper. Placement is important with this step so your sentiment doesn't get lost in the print of the paper.

For the second card I decided to add a frame by cutting a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Magenta Madness with the second-largest Stitched Rectangle Die. I adhered to the clear envelope with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals:

As you can see, my placement of the sentiment on this card "pops" much more than the first!

Inside I used the other Pattern Play sentiment and added sparkles and bubbles with Magenta Madness and So Saffron ink.

Dimensions:

Magenta Madness base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4" (landscape) frame: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Artistry Blooms layer: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Inside white layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Pattern Play Bundle	Pattern Play Photopolymer Stamp Set (English)	Playful Alphabet Dies
Artistry Blooms Designer Series Paper	Magenta Madness 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Magenta Madness Classic Stampin' Pad
Clear Medium Envelopes	Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Versamark Pad
White Stampin' Emboss Powder	Heat Tool (Us And Canada)	Sequins For Everything
Stitched Rectangles Dies	Stampin' Seal	Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
Whisper White Medium Envelopes	Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad	So Saffron Classic Stampin' Pad
