Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day April 24!

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our family's gathering for Easter at our house. I am very thankful that this year I am able to host. Last year I was still fragile-but-recovering from my post-covid anxiety attacks so we gathered at my daughter, Alisa's house. I am also very thankful for modern medicines that have helped me in my recovery.

I have a pretty collection of sympathy cards to share with you today!

First, Laura Barto used the Grassy Grove Bundle to create her pretty card:

Next, Gail Connelly used one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders with the Inspired Thoughts stamp set for her pretty sympathy card.

Carol Slack combined Cinnamon Cider and Pale Papaya with Inspired Thoughts and Encircled In Friendship:

Rhonda Bassler created her sympathy card with the Honeybee Home Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Paper, and Hive 3D embossing folder.

Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Flowering Tulips bundle with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments:

Finally, Jenna Roby used the retiring Simply Elegant Specialty paper with retiring Ornate Frames dies:

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Posted on April 23, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!

Stampin’ Up! Happiness Abounds New Catalog Sneak Peek!

Posted on April 20, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you another card I created with New Annual Catalog Sneak Peek products!

I used the Happiness Abounds Bundle that includes the Happiness Abounds stamp set and Blossoming Happiness Dies. I also used Hues of Happiness 12" x 12" Designer Paper and Parakeet Party 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.

I stamped the flower with Melon Mambo ink, then used ink squeezed onto the lid of the ink pad to paint the bloom. I used an "empty" Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to paint the bloom, as well as the Mossy Meadow-stamped leaves. Don't ever throw out an empty Wink of Stella! You can re-use them with ink pad ink, re-inker ink, etc! I added a Polished Pink 2021-2023 In Color Opal Round to the center to finish it off.

I stamped the greeting with Tuxedo Black ink, but beside the Mossy Meadow card base stamped with Mossy Meadow leaves, it almost looks like Mossy Meadow too! One of my favorite pieces from the Blossoming Happiness dies is the one I used to cut the top edge of the Basic White focal image layer to look like it has been torn from a notebook!

Inside is all stamped with Happiness Abounds images.

I used the book-binding fold for this card, adding a 3/4" x 4" strip of Hues of Happiness Designer paper to the binding edge.

I also created a second card with the same colors and products, but used a Blending Brush to add the Melon Mambo ink to the bloom for a softer look.

I created a third card with another strip of the same print of Hues of Happiness designer to feature a Fresh Freesia bloom. All of the Hues of Happiness prints are in an ombre design.

Tomorrow only! Free Shipping on all orders of $75 or more! (before sales tax).

Supply links for today's card that are currently available. The rest will be orderable on May 3rd!

Stampin’ Up! Wild & Sweet Sneak Peek!

Posted on April 19, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm working on more swaps to mail out, so today I played with the Wild & Sweet stamp set, Sending Smiles Bundle, and He's the Man Designer Series Paper to create this card!

Of course I stamped the raccoon image with Early Espresso ink on the Soft Succulent layer before embossing with the Timber 3D embossing folder!

I cut the "Sending" word from the Sending Smiles bundle from both Early Espresso and Basic White card stock before adhering together with a thin line of liquid glue, then adhering to the card front also with liquid glue. I added a 1" x 4" strip of He's the Man Designer Paper to the left side of the card front. Raccoons and camping seem to go together, so this print was perfect!

Inside I stamped a sentiment from Sending Smiles with Early Espresso ink, then added a 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip of the same He's the Man designer paper print to the left side of the Basic White sentiment layer.

Altogether a quick and easy card!

Here's the shopping links for the products to make this card that are available to order now. The rest of them will be available when the new Catalog goes live on May 3rd!

Early Espresso 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119686]	Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [147114]	Soft Succulent 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [155776]

Stampin’ Up! New Catalog Sneak Peek Sweet Songbirds!

Posted on April 18, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The 2022-2023 New Annual Catalog goes live just two weeks and one day from now, so I decided to give you a little sneak peek of one of the most adorable new bundles, as well as a couple of the new In Colors!

I used the Sweet Songbirds bundle of stamps/punch with Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis to create this cute card! These products and more will be available to order beginning on May 3rd!

I stamped the bird with Orchid Oasis in on Basic White card stock then punched with the Songbird Builder Punch. I stamped the eyes and feet with an image from the Sweet Songbirds set, and punched the wing from new 2022-2-24 In Color Designer Series Paper. The music notes, also stamped with Orchid Oasis, are from Sweet Songbirds. The tiny bird with musical notes, is found in the Peekaboo Farm set. I stamped with Orchid Oasis, darkened the eye and wing with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker, then colored with a new Orchid Oasis Stampin' Blend. The birdies sit on a branch and leaves from Sweet Songbirds stamped with Crumb Cake and new Parakeet Party ink.
