Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Welcome Easter!

Posted on March 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm not usually a big Easter bunny fan, but these swaps I received are so cute and well done I can't resist sharing them! All three of these swaps were created with the Welcome Easter stamp set found on page 46 of the 2020 Spring Mini Catalog!

First, Kathy Johnson combined the Welcome Easter set with Bird Ballad Designer paper (yes, that striped print is from Bird Ballad pack, and the flowers are cut from another Bird Ballad print) and the Country Floral 3D embossing folder for her z-fold/gatefold card:

Next, Rhonda Bassler combined Welcome Easter with Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder, Daisy Delight and the Daisy Punch, Painted Labels and Stitched Shapes Dies, and 5/8" Organdy Ribbon:

Finally, Jeanne Ciolli expertly watercolored with Stampin' Blends markers on watercolor paper all three of the critters in the Welcome Easter set, then used them to create a waterfall card!

First, the chick!

Next, the lamb!

And the bunny!

The final flap is the fun "Happy Easter", complete with the tiny bumblebee!

Stampin’ Up! Pleased As Punch Tulips!

Posted on March 23, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Up to now I've been creating cards with just snippets and punched-out images from the Pleased As Punch Designer Paper. The card I'm sharing today uses a full card front with the tulips print! How about that?

I tied a bow with white 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon:

I inked the tulip with Flirty Flamingo, stamped-off once, then used the "rock n roll" technique to add an edge of full-strength Flirty Flamingo before stamping and punching with the Tulip Builder Punch. I explain how to do "rock n' roll" in my free downloadable tutorial below!

Inside I used a masking technique to give the look of the leaves being behind the tulips. I show you how to do this too in my tutorial below!

Here’s the free pdf tutorial for you to download:

Stampin’ Up! Painted Seasons Fable Friends!

Posted on March 27, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm finally back to "real-time" blogging today, which means I'm typing the blog and scheduling it the night before it goes live. I think most of my "wedding-lag" is over. I was really tired on Monday. I must have been running on adrenaline all weekend. The wedding was wonderful, the bride was gorgeous, the groom was adoring, and we are all so, so happy!

Today I have a little card I created with the Fable Friends set from the Occasions Catalog and the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper you can still choose as your freebie when you place a $50 order in my online store!

I colored the bunny with my Stampin' blends after stamping him with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Crumb Cake card stock.

I stamped the greeting with Poppy Parade ink, then punched with the 1 1/8" Scalloped Circle Punch.

I finished the inside with these adorable ducklings from Fable Friends!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Have a Blessed Easter!

Posted on April 1, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Easter is here! After an Easter Celebration at church we will spend the rest of our day at home with our family. It's supposed to be very cool, wet, and rainy, so the egg hunt may have to be in the house. Not the best, but certainly warmer and cleaner!

Next, Ruth Bingle also used Flying Home and Stampin' Blends, embossing the Old Olive background with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic folder.

An anonymous stamper used You're Inspiring for her Crushed Curry & Basic Black card, adding Clear Wink of Stella to the daffodils for shimmer.
