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.

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

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

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.

The same die cut from Flirty Flamingo:

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!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Gatefold Easel Card!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Gatefold Easel Card!

Hey there! Today I have one of the cards we made last Friday night at Donna's house with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle! I recently learned how to make a Gatefold Easel fold from my friend Sharon Armstrong, so I was excited to share this new fold!

I used a circle image from Watercolor Shapes, stamped with Granny Apple Green, and "hello" from Biggest Wish on the belly band to hold the card together.k I added a Bumblebee Trinket as a final touch!

Inside I used a Sweet Strawberry sentiment, and used one of the strawberry blooms for my easel "stop".

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off for Father’s Day!

Stampin’ Up! Hats Off for Father’s Day!

Hey there! Today I have another card created with the Hats Off Bundle. I created this one with my husband in mind for Father's Day.

 Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps4

I used a color combo of Sahara Sand and Evening Evergreen, which are the perfect colors for my farmer hubby! I embossed the Evening Evergreen layer with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder for some background interest. I stamped "DAD" on a separate Sahara Sand scrap and cut it out with the coordinating Hat Builder Die.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I decided to use Sahara Sand for my sentiment layer, stamping "You're The Best" from the Hats Off set with Evening Evergreen ink. I added the mountain/evergreens motif at the bottom with Evening Evergreen ink.

Stampin_up_hats_off_carolpaynestamps7

I used the mountains/evergreens again on the envelope flap and front bottom left corner.

This was such a quick but satisfying card to make!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day June 20th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day June 20th!

Hey there! Happy Father's Day and Happy First Day of Summer! The first day of summer is actually kind of sad, as it means soon the days will start getting shorter as the world starts heading toward fall (in our part of the world, anyway)

Regardless, today is another Sunday Swap day, so it's time to share some swaps!

First, Garden Birdhouses with the Bark 3D embossing folder and Double Oval Punch by an anonymous creator.

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps1

Second, Kathy Johnson also used Garden Birdhouses. She also used one of the Basic Borders Dies to cut a cloud stencil to use with a Blending Brush to create the fluffy clouds background!

Stampin_up_garden_birdhouses_carolpaynestamps3

Next, Kathy Morgan used the Seascape Bundle  with one of the Layering Diorama Dies for her card creation:

Finally, Jan Farring used the Wild Cats stamp set with Stitched Rectangle Dies and In the Wild Designer Paper for a birthday card:

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts & Pretty Flowers!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Thoughts & Pretty Flowers!

Hey there! Today I have a pair of cards to share with you created with the retiring Happy Thoughts stamp set and the new Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.

IMG_2194 (2)

After embossing Basic White with the Pretty Flowers folder I colored the raised images with Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, and Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends. I used the bullet end, not the brush tip, to color to have better control of how much ink flowed onto the paper.

IMG_2185 (2)

For this version I added a piece of Evening Evergreen designer paper, Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon, and a greeting stamped with Polished Pink ink.

IMG_2188 (2)

Inside:

IMG_2189 (2)

My second version is very similar, but I embossed Evening Evergreen card stock for the bottom front layer.

IMG_2196 (2)

I stamped the same greeting with Evening Evergreen ink and punched with the Double Oval punch.

IMG_2198

I embossed the envelope flap with the same Pretty Flowers folder.

IMG_2186

Which one do you like the best? Leave me a comment and I will put your name in a drawing to receive your favorite!
