Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Expressions In Ink!

Stampin’ Up! Quite Curvy Expressions In Ink!

Hey there! Today I paired the Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper with the soon-to-be-retiring Quite Curvy Bundle from the Spring Mini Catalog!

Stampin_up_quite_curvy_carolpaynestamps1 (2)

After I cut the front white layer with one of the Curvy dies, I embossed with the Pretty Flowers folder and then layered over a strip of Expressions In Ink designer paper, leaving about an inch of the designer paper showing. (See the measurements at the bottom of this post to re-create!)

I stamped the Quite Curvy greeting with Shaded Spruce ink, then cut with an Ornate Frames die. I finished off the card front with the gold leaves and iridescent sequins from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack.

Inside I stamped another sentiment from Quite Curvy with the same Shaded Spruce ink.

Although this sentiment was already curved, I curved it more to fit the inside of my card.

Stampin’ Up! Polished Pink Artistically Inked!

Stampin’ Up! Polished Pink Artistically Inked!

Hey there! I am still playing with my Artistically Inked Bundle of stamps and dies. Today's card was created with a monochromatic look of Polished Pink and Basic White:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps1

My process to achieve this inlaid die-cut look was simple:

  1. Cut the Polished Pink layer with the Artistic Die.
  2. Emboss the layer with the Pretty Flowers folder.
  3. Adhere the layer over a Basic White layer on the card front.
  4. Insert the die-cut back into the layer and adhere with tiny drops of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the "hello" from the Artistically Inked set with black ink on a white strip, then used Paper Snips to cut banner points. I added a bow tied with Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon with a glue dot, and then added a few Polished Pink jewels from the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels pack.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the inside with another Artistically Inked sentiment and added a partial die-cut to the lower left corner with liquid glue.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Trio of Cards!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Trio of Cards!

Hey there! We had a wonderful day with family yesterday! I love the Sundays when we have family dinners and then have the afternoon to hang out and visit!

Today I have a trio of simple but gorgeous cards I created with the new Expressions In Ink Suite found on pages 96 and 97 of the new Annual Catalog:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps1

I used one half of one sheet of Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper to create all three cards with different card stock and inks that are in the designer paper itself: Polished Pink, Shaded Spruce, and Pale Papaya.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps2 (2)

I embellished the cards with the Expressions In Ink Ephemera pack of gold foil leaves and self-adhesive sequins.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps3

I used a sentiment from the Best Year stamp set inside.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps6

The one with the Shaded Spruce card base:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps12

I used a Hippo & Friends die to cut out the greetings and the mat behind each one.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps13

I love the bold but simple "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" found in the Artistically Inked set.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps14

The Pale Papaya card base version:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps7

I used stamped-off Fresh Freesia ink around the greeting.

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow!

Stampin’ Up! Quiet Meadow!

Hey there! Quiet Meadow is perfect for collage-style stamping. I used this bundle of stamps and dies to create some "Thinking of You" cards to use for both a "get well" type card and a sympathy.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_sympathy_carolpaynestamps1

I used stamped-off once and sometimes twice Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, and Blushing Bride for my collage-stamped background. After heat embossing the greeting with white powder I cut it out with a Meadow die. I added gold Metallic Pearls for more interest.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_sympathy_carolpaynestamps2

The majority of the Meadow dies are stand-alone, which means they don't coordinate with an image in the Quiet Meadow stamp set. I used one of them to cut Pear Pizzazz card stock to create the floral piece I glued over the floral image I stamped with full-strength Crumb Cake.

Stampin_up_quiet_meadow_sympathy_carolpaynestamps4

I tied Linen Thread into a double bow and added with a glue dot.

Everything on the inside is also from Quiet Meadow.

Stampin’ Up! Treasures of Life!

Stampin’ Up! Treasures of Life!

Hey there! Lately I have noticed that many of my friends, stamping and otherwise, are becoming grandparents. In some cases they are even becoming great-grandparents, so the Treasures of Life stamp set from the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog is coming in quite handy! I sat down yesterday and made a small stack of these cards to have on hand:

Stampin_up_treasures_of_life_carolpaynestamps1

I combined the sweet images and sentiments from Treasures of Life with the stacked hearts from another 2021 J-J Mini Catalog Set, Lots of Heart, and the coordinating dies, Many Hearts.

Stampin_up_treasures_of_life_carolpaynestamps2

For the feminine version I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride with Soft Suede ink and white heat embossing.

Stampin_up_treasures_of_life_carolpaynestamps3

I tied one of the sweet little charms I bought on Amazon with the Blushing Bride Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack, also found in the 2021 J-J Mini Catalog. I'll put the link to the charms right above my supply list at the bottom of this post.

Stampin_up_treasures_of_life_carolpaynestamps4

I love the sentiments in the Treasures of Life set!

Stampin_up_treasures_of_life_carolpaynestamps5

For the boy version I created essentially the same card, using Balmy Blue card stock and cutting the focal image with the smooth heart instead of the scalloped in the Many Hearts Dies. I tied the charm with the white twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack.
