Stampin’ Up! Misty Moonlight Country Home!

Posted on September 19, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another Country Home card, this time created with the color combo of Misty Moonlight, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White!

On this one the pitcher and bouquet are both hand-cut with paper snips:

While cutting these I made sure to leave a thin edge of white around everything so the cutting didn't have to be perfect. Leaving a narrow bit of white lets your eye "see" the stamped image but not focus on the cut edge.

I brayered the Brick & Mortar embossing with White Craft ink for more definition and texture. I love the Misty Moonlight/silver/white twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo! I colored the florals in the cotton boll bouquet with Stampin' Blends.

I used another sentiment from Here's a Card inside and stamped "LOVE" from Country home directly on the milk can.

Stampin’ Up! Bee Thankful!

Posted on May 6, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! When the Retiring List comes out I often find I have some stamps that I've never gotten inky. It's sad, so I try to create with all of the neglected ones before they fully retire. The card I have for you today is with the Bee Thankful single stamp, which was one of those neglected for too long!

I combined Bee Thankful with All Wired Up and Ornate Garden Specialty Paper:

After stamping the image with Tuxedo Black ink, I then traced around the stamp on scrap paper to create a mask to lay over the "thanks" and bee image to stamp over it with the All Wired Up image. Intended to look like chicken wire, I think it passes for honeycomb too. What do you think?

Inside I used a sentiment from the retiring "Thanks for the Laughs".

Here’s the pdf tutorial for you!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Embossed Vellum!

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A couple of days ago I took almost the whole day and just stamped! It was soooo much fun! I mostly played with the Ornate Garden Suite, and the possibilities are endless!

The card I'm sharing today was created by heat embossing on vellum, then coloring with Stampin' Blends:

After heat embossing with white powder and coloring on the back side with the blends, I used an Ornate Layers die to cut out the floral spray. I sketchily colored around the blooms with a Dark Pool Party Stampin' Blend before adhereing to a white layer with strategically placed glue dots.

I colored on the backside for all of the blooms and leaves except the daisies. For some inexplicable reason I colored them on the front! I prefer to color on the back side so the vellum can soften the brushstrokes and color, but I had already finished coloring it all before I discovered my mistake, so I decided to just go with it! lol!

The greeting is heat-embossed with white on the Classic Label-punched Pool Party. I added some bling with a Gilded Gem from the Ornate Garden Suite.

After dry-embossing the largest inside white layer with the Ornate Floral 3D folder, I added the rest of the layers stamped with Ornate Style and Ornate Thanks.

Stampin’ Up! Country Floral Thank You!

Posted on November 11, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, today I'm sharing the Thank-you I created for Kimberly's "sprinkle" gifts!

I wanted to stay with the same color scheme as the sprinkle invitations, so I used Whisper White and Rococo Rose. I grabbed a couple of packs of Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes for the card bases to make these easy to assemble. No prep with cutting and scoring the bases helps tons when you are needing to make a stack of cards quickly!

I embossed the Rococo Rose layer with the Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder, then added the die cut "Thank you" with snippets of Stampin' Dimensionals.

I kept the inside simple, cutting the white layer with a Stitched Rectangle Die and stamping "friend" from Botanical Bliss with Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampers Dozen Blog Hop January 2019 Let’s Sale-a-brate!

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there ! Welcome to the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! Our January theme: "Let's Sale-a-brate!"

Sale-a-bration is the BEST time to stamp or join as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! With every $50 you spend, choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration brochure!

I used Sale-a-bration Home to Roost and four colors for a single-layer card:

I started by dragging my opened Sahara Sand inkpad across the bottom of a Very Vanilla Note Card. This technique is called "direct-to-paper". I then dragged Crushed Curry and then Cajun Craze, letting it look uneven and rustic.

I added the rooster, tall grass, and sentiment with Early Espresso ink, then flicked the edges of the card against the inkpad to "sponge" the edges.

I kept the inside super-simple by stamping-off the ink once before stamping the grass, and then stamping the sentiment with full-strength ink.

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Lavender!

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We are having a SNOW DAY in Southern Illinois! You wouldn't think this 58 year-old grandma would be so excited, but it's 16 degrees with about an inch of ice and a skittering of snow on top! Not to mention the wind is blowing fiercely! Mark has the wood stove burning merrily; sitting on the couch under my heated throw makes me thankful for a snug and cozy home! A snow day also means my daughter gets to stay home and love on her babies!

Now that I'm feeling better, (I still feel like I'm coughing up a lung about every other morning) I've finally had some mojo to play with my Sale-a-bration freebies. I played with the Lots of Lavender and Heartfelt Blooms sets to create this:

I created the loopy bow by winding the Whisper White 1/4" Organza Ribbon around my hand about 5 times, then tied another piece of ribbon around the center of the loops tightly. after fanning out the loops I adhered the the card with a couple of glue dots.

The Lots of Lavendar stamp set is free with a $50 order from any current catalog. I stamped the bloom with Tuxedo Black Momento ink so I could both stamp it with the fill-in images from the set with Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz AND color the bow with a Light Pink Pirouette Stampin' Blends Marker. I cut the layers with the Lots of Labels Framelits dies.

I love the fonts used in the Heartfelt Blooms set. They stamp very crisply on Whisper White!

I used one of the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folders on the Wisteria Wonder layer, flipping the folder around after the first embossing so there would be both the positive and the negative impressions.

Inside I stamped and colored the lavender again, as well as another Heartfelt Blooms sentiment. I cut the white layer 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"to allow more of the embossed Wisteria Wonder layer to show.

As a final touch on the inside and outside lavender I added Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of shimmer.
