Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers!

Hey there! Today I have a card created with the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set  and the Stitched Greenery die that I'm crazy about! I needed another sympathy-type card, but I wanted it to be cheerful too, so I used Daffodil Delight card stock and In Good Taste Designer paper with the aforementioned Celebrate Sunflowers to create this:
Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps1
I started by cutting the sunflower and butterfly from the Daffodil Delight card stock layer, then embossing the  layer minus the sunflower and butterfly with the Stitched Greenery die. I then adhered the layer over a piece of In Good Taste Designer, then added the sunflower and butterfly back in their original spots with tiny dots of liquid glue.

I forgot to stamp the greeting before embossing with the Stitched Greenery die, but stamping on this layer worked out fine anyway!

I'm kind of obsessed with the Bumblebee Trinkets! They are the perfect finishing touch for this card!

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestajmps4

I stamped the sunflower on the inside layer and on the envelope. I added the "Hugs Prayers Love" sentiment from Positive Thoughts with Early Espresso ink.

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden A Happy Hello!

Stampin’ Up! Daisy Garden A Happy Hello!

Hey there! Today I have a fun-fold card to share with you called Pop & Twist! It's been around for awhile, but I recently found an easier way to make it, so I decided to give it a try. I used the Daisy Garden background stamp with Sunny Sentiments.

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps2 (2)

I stamped the daisies with Tuxedo Black Memento ink so I could color them with Stampin' Blends. After I colored the daisies and the greenery, I colored around all of it with my Light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends marker. I added a bit of shimmer to the daisy centers with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps3

I cut out the greeting from Sunny Sentiments with a Tasteful Labels die, then backed it with two more Tasteful Labels die-cuts. I finished it off by adding a Bumblebee Trinket.

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps4

As much as I love the card front, the star of the show is really the inside!

Stampin_up_daisy_garden_carolpaynestamps6 (2)

I lined the inside of the card with a Balmy Blue print from the You're A Peach Designer Paper, and used another Sunny Sentiment. I sent this card to a special friend who is just like a sister.

I currently do not have a tutorial for this card, but here's a great one I found on YouTube!

Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses!

Stampin’ Up! Garden Birdhouses!

Hey there! I think this week I should be able to stay on track with my blog posts. Right  now I have cards made to last through Thursday, and I'm planning to do a ton of stamping today, so maybe I can get ahead and stay that way for awhile! lol!

Today's card I created with the Garden Birdhouses stand-alone stamp set and Scalloped Contours Dies:

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps1

I used Blending Brushes to add Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent to my layers, which were cut with Scalloped Contours dies and embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. I turned the white in the Hand-Penned designer paper sort of vanilla-ish by adding Crumb Cake over it with my Blending Brush.

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps2

I colored the birdhouses with Stampin' Blends and added a few Genial Gems for some sparkle.

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped a greeting from Garden Birdhouses with Tuxedo Black ink, and used ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack. I hand-cut the birdies with my Paper Snips and then added them to the card with tiny snippets of a Stampin' Dimensional.

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped more sentiments from Garden Birdhouses.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 11th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day July 11th!

Hey there! Vacation Bible School is over for the year and we had a really great week with a wonderful group of kids! We averaged between 70-80 kids each night. I always prepare for 100, so I never run out of packets!

It's time to get back to blogging, and I don't know of a better way than to start with a Sunday Swap Day! I have a whimsical and fun group of swaps to share today!

First, a fun little mini Post-it Note Easel by Stephanie Flath created with the Tailor Made Tags dies and Party Puffins!

Stampin_up_party_puffins_easel_carolpaynestamps1

Next, a Party Puffins card created by Joanne Cantrell.

Stampin_up_party_puffins_easel_carolpaynestamps2

How darling is that bow-wrapped fish?!

Stampin_up_party_puffins_easel_carolpaynestamps3

Cathy Miller used the Turtle Friends Bundle of stamps and punch to create her fun-fold card. She also used the Biggest Wish stamp set and Pattern Party Host Designer Paper.

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps1

I wasn't kidding when I said this was a fun-fold!

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps2

Susie Wood combined the Turtle Friends bundle with Layering Circles dies and You're A Peach Designer Paper. (YES! Those camo-print strips of background are the flip side of one of the You're A Peach DSP pages!)

Stampin_up_turtle_friends_carolpaynestamps3

We started with Stephanie Flath and we end with a Turtle Friends card created by Stephanie too! She used tiny pink hearts from the Shaker Shapes Pack above the turtle!

This little birdie and the sentiment are included in the Turtle Friends set!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Hey there! I still haven't been able to do any stamping this week with Vacation Bible School still going on (two more nights!), but I remembered I had this card I'm sharing with you today in my stash. I had taken the pictures minutes before giving the card away!

I needed a masculine birthday card in a hurry one day last week, so I reached for the A Good Man stamp set and my new Give It A Whirl dies for some fun!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps1

I used three of the eight sentiments in this set to stamp in the three "windows" of the card.

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps3

The wheel you turn has little scallops on it to make it easier to grab with your finger. The simple contraption is secured in the center with a brad. The dies cut the holes for the brad as you cut out the pieces, so there's no guesswork of where to put the holes!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps4

This sentiment is my fave!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps5

Sentiment #3!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I used a sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I stamped the "HAPPY B-DAY" from Happiest of Birthdays on the envelope flap.

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps7

The give it a whirl dies may look complicated, but I was able to figure it out without having any written or video instruction. (I'm not bragging, they are just THAT EASY!)

Order them today and take your card making up a notch!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Island Crafts!

Stampin’ Up! Timeless Tropical Island Crafts!

Hey there! Just wanted to pop in and let you know to not expect much from me this week in the way of inspiration. I may get a chance to post a few things, but only if I find an excess of time on my hands, which probably isn't going to happen. I'm deep in Vacation Bible School Craft Directing this week! Last night we had 72 kids: 20 first graders, 20 pre-k and kindergarteners (in separate sessions) and 33 second through sixth graders (all together in one session) We made the memory verse lanyard I showed you HERE. Everyone loved it, including the adult helpers, but it was a lot of work to get that many pieces through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines!

Today I have the door signs I created for my classroom. I used the same theme as the memory verse lanyards, along with a retired Stampin' Up! alphabet die set I will keep forever, Large Letters.

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps1

I used the same Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz for the pineapple with the In the Tropics dies:

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps3

We switched to just stamping the entire palm trees with Garden Green ink, so I did the same for my four signs.

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps4

I used a smaller stamped blossom from the Timeless Tropical set, cut with an In the Tropics die, then added a pop of black to the center with another In the Tropics die.

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps2

The same die cut from Flirty Flamingo:

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps5

I'm not stamping much this week, the days are too short when you have to be a VBS by 4:45! But I hope to  be back soon!
