Stampin’ Up! Marquee Messages Card Number Two for the May Online Class!

Posted on May 3, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back this morning with another Marquee Messages card, the second for the May Online Class. I used the "chalkboard technique" for today's card, accenting with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush:

I embossed the Pool Party background with the Polka Dot folder, then used the "chalkboard" technique to emboss the marquee and greetings with White embossing powder. I rubbed my embossing buddy over the Basic Black card stock first before stamping with Versamark and sprinkling with white powder. The outline of the marquee was hand-cut with Paper Snips.

I stamped the arrow portion of the marquee with Archival Basic Black ink on Flirty Flamingo, again hand-cutting with my snips. I added a touch of Clear Wink of Stella to each "light bulb" on the arrow for some sparkle. I layered it over the chalkboard marquee with Stampin' Dimensionals.

A close-up of the Clear Wink of Stella:

Inside I stamped with more Marquee Messages images, and added another hand-cut Flirty Flamingo arrow.

Stampin’ Up! Marquee Messages for the May Online Class!

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! As promised, I have the first of three May Online Class cards to share with you today. This month we're using Marquee Messages stamps I received at OnStage Live in Salt Lake City last month. Since you will receive 6 completed cards, with envelopes and instructions, when you order at least $35 in my online store this month, you can wait until June to order your set.

I combined Marquee Messages, Gorgeous Grunge, and the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder:

I used the "tearing" technique, something that I did quite a bit back when I first started stamping 14 years ago. I'd forgotten how much I like the effect! After stamping the images with Archival Basic Black and stamping the Gorgeous Grunge "splotches" with Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Pool Party, and Tip Top Taupe, I tore around the image. then rubbed Tip Top Taupe inkpad directly on the edges for more "grunge".

After I adhered the grunged layer over the Tip Top Taupe/Brick Wall layer, I added a few black sequins from the Metallics Sequins pack, adhering with my Fine Tip Glue Pen.

Inside I used more Marquee Messages and the same inks and stamps from Gorgeous Grunge. I needed a matching liner for my envelope, so I stamped a piece of copy paper, cutting it with my Envelope Liner Framelits (which are on the Retiring List and won't be available much longer!)

You can't order Marquee Messages, Flirty Flamingo or Peekaboo Peach until June 1st, but you CAN order everything else for this card in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Gorgeous Grunge Wood Stamp Set [130514] $25.00	Gorgeous Grunge Clear Stamp Set [130517] $18.00	Basic Black 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [121045] $7.00	Tip Top Taupe 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [138336] $7.00

Stampin’Up! Polka Dot Botanical Blooms!

Posted on April 26, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card I created last month while on a stamping "binge". Do you ever do that? Have so many ideas in your head they just pour out? Once in a great while that happens for me. Inspired by a card I saw online, I've added personal touches to make it mine:

I started with an Early Espresso card base, adding a Whisper White layer embossed with the Large Polka Dot folder. I used a sponge dauber with Daffodil Delight ink to sponge directly on each large raised "dot". I wrapped with a piece of now-retiring Whisper White 5/8" Satin Ribbon, tying in a knot before adhering to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

After cutting a Daffodil Delight bloom with the Botanical Builder Framelits, I sponged with Daffodil Delight ink. I added a Whisper White bloom punched with an Itty Bitty Accents Punch, and an It's My Party Enamel Dot. The whole bloom was added to the ribbon knot with glue dots, and the Mossy Meadow greenery, also cut with the Botanical Gardens framelits, were added with glue dots.

I stamped the Suite Sayings sentiment with Early Espresso on Daffodil Delight, punching each end with the Note Tag Punch, which is retiring. After sponging with Daffodil Delight I adhered over the ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the inside with another Suite Sayings Sentiment and sponged the edges of the Whisper White layer with Daffodil Delight.

Botanical Builders Framelits have four different sizes of blooms to choose from, so I cut a small one from Daffodil Delight, sponged with Daffodil Delight ink, then added with a glue dot. I cut the leaf with a Botanical Builders Framelit, adding it and the white center punched with the Tree Builder Punch, with glue dots. I finished the center with another It's My Party Enamel Dot.

Stampin’ Up! Challenge Cards Made By Becky!

Posted on April 20, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have cards created by a member of my team, Becky Anderson. At our monthly team meeting I post a challenge for the next month to create a card with a theme. Last month's theme was anything with flowers and my team created some beautiful samples. Today I have three to share with you from Becky!

First, Becky layered a piece of Birthday Bouquet Designer Paper (retiring) over a Blushing Bride base with a layer of Watermelon Wonder in between. After adding a pleated piece of Watermelon Wonder 1 1/4" Striped Satin Ribbon (retiring), she added a fancy-cut bloom from another piece of Birthday Bouquet paper. A fancy-cut greeting from the Balloon Celebration stamp set finishes it all off.

Inside she stamped a phrase from Suite Sayings and "Happy Birthday" from a stamp set I know I should know but am unable to identify! lol!

Becky's next entry is a monochromatic Calypso Coral card using Botanical Builder Framelits, rhinestones, and a greeting from Butterfly Basics, all carrying over to the new catalog!

Inside Becky punched the corners of the Whisper White layer with the Curvy Corner Trio punch again, then stamped a phrase from the Fabulous Four set, which is retiring on May 31st.

Becky's final creation starts with a Sahara Sand card base with a layer of Basic Black, followed by a top layer of Timeless Elegance Designer Paper that she sponged with Real Red ink.

She added a greeting from Petite Pairs (retiring), punched with retiring oval punches. The Sahara Sand 7/8" Lace Trim is also retiring.

Inside Becky stamped a phrase from Blessed By God (retiring) and punched the corners with the Curvy Corner Trio punch (also retiring)

You can still find and order all of the products used today in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! English Garden Gets the Blues!

Posted on April 17, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I know today is usually Sunday Swap day, but I tried to post this card a couple of nights ago while here in Salt Lake City but the complimentary 24 hour internet in our room went down and the post vanished.

We are headed home today. We've had a blast! The 2016/17 New Catalog IS FABULOUS!!!!! It's the best catalog ever and the event was the best I've ever attended, and I've been coming to conventions since 2004! I can start sharing tidbits with you in a couple of days!

The Retiring Stamps & Accessories list posts tomorrow at 1 p.m. MT. Be sure to come back here to download your copy. There will be lots you will need and want to order before they are gone!

My card today uses English Garden Designer Paper, Rose Garden Thinlets, and Watercolor Wishes stamps:

NOTE: Rose Garden Thinlets are ON SALE RIGHT NOW on the Weekly Deals!

I have been hoarding a few packages of this paper, only using it whenever I have a card I really love! I pulled a few strands from a length of 1 1/4" White Jute Ribbon to tie around the card front. The threads are just the right amount of fuzzy!

The Night of Navy flowers in this print are gorgeous by themselves, but I wanted to add a touch of Rose Garden to them so I cut Tip Top Taupe with the smallest flower from the set and sponged on Night of Navy ink. I added a Night of Navy bloom punched with an Itty Bitty Accents punch, and topped them off with a pearl.

Inside I did a bit of sponging around the edges, stamped another sentiment from Watercolor Wishes, and added one more Rose Garden bloom.
