Stampin’ Up! Cat Punch!

Stampin’ Up! Cat Punch!

Hey there! I'm continuing my series featuring many of our punches. Today I'm sharing this card created with the Cat Punch and Heart & Home Designer Series Paper. I used the Heart & Home DSP for the background, the greeting strip, and one of the punched cats!

Stampin_up_honeybee_home_cats_carolpaynestamps1

I punched three cats, one from Cinnamon Cider, one from Crumb Cake, and one from Heart & Home DSP. I embossed the cinnamon cider cat with the Macrame 3D embossing folder and added Early Espresso ink to the edges with a Blending Brush.

After I added Early Espresso to the Crumb Cake cat it started looking like a Siamese!

I embossed the Heart & Home DSP cat with the Tasteful Textiles folder.

Stampin_up_honeybee_home_cats_carolpaynestamps4

I stamped the greeting from Honeybee Home with Early Espresso ink on the flip side of one Heart & Home DSP print. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso and added a tiny Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Inside I stamped an extra layer of Crumb Cake with another sentiment and an image from Honeybee Home. Early Espresso sponging acted as a divider between the layers.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Thanks!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Thanks!

Hey there! Today I have another card I created with the Artistically Inked Bundle. If you have been visiting my blog this week, you know I've been featuring this bundle every day since Monday. Today I used the Gold & Rose Gold Metallic 6" x 6" Specialty Paper to create this:

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_magenta_madness_carolpaynestamps1 (2)

I cut the Gold Metallic paper (it's really a glimmer paper, but the photo doesn't show you how sparkly this die-cut really is) with one of the Artistic Dies. I added it with strategically placed glue dots.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_magenta_madness_carolpaynestamps2

This gold striped paper is from the Expressions In Ink Specialty paper pack. I stamped the "thanks" from the Artistically Inked stamp set directly on the paper, embossing with Clear Embossing Powder. Stamping on the gold stripes makes the word look like it is behind them!

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_magenta_madness_carolpaynestamps3 (2)

Inside I used a sentiment from Peaceful Moments to coordinate with the greeting on the front.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_magenta_madness_carolpaynestamps4 (2)

I stamped the same image I had stamped on the inside layer all around the Magenta Madness card front with Magenta Madness to add texture and depth to the card front.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_magenta_madness_carolpaynestamps5 (2)

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop, ok?

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Triple Time!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Triple Time!

Hey there! If you have been following my blog, you know how much I like the Triple Time technique. I decided to create a couple of cards with this technique and the Artistically Inked stamp set to share with you today:

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps1 (2)

I created two versions, one simply stamped, and the other stamped and then embossed with the Pretty Flowers folder.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps2 (2)

After stamping and assembling all of the layers, I stamped the greeting from Artistically Inked in Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps3

Everything stamped on these cards comes from the Artistically Inked stamp set.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps4 (2)

For my second card I stamped the Triple Time layers like my first card, then ran them through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine before assembling the layers.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps5 (2)

I also added Soft Succulent ink to the embossing with a Blending Brush. Like the first card, I tied a bit of Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon in a knot around the top layers.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps6

I used the Soft Succulent In Color Jewels for a bit of sparkle!

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps7

Inside with a bit of blended Soft Succulent.

Stampin_up_triple_time_artistically_inked_carolpaynestamps8 (2)

Card Measurements:

Soft Succulent base & mat layers: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4, 3 1/2" x 4 1/2", 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"

 Basic White layers: 4" x 5 1/4", 3" x 4 1/4", 2" x 3 1/4" inside layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

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! 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.
