Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! For Sunday Swap Day I have some bright and cheery creations to share with you!

First, Ruth Bingle combined Fresh Fruits  stamps and Fruit Stand Designer Paper with an acetate card base (also know as a window sheet) to create this unique beauty:
Stampin_up_fresh_fruit_carolpaynestamps1

Whenever I see this phrase "love you more", I always want to ask, "than what? than you love me? than chocolate, than grilled cheese?"

Stampin_up_fresh_fruit_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Linda Pagel also used Fresh Fruit and Fruit Stand paper for her swap. She gave the peach a more realistic look by sponging Watermelon Wonder ink over Peekaboo Peach. She also used the new Layering Squares Framelits to cut her focal image layers, and used a narrow strip of Watermelon Wonder card stock as "faux ribbon".

Finally, Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Swirly Bird Bundle that includes the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets to create her bright and cheery card. Her sentiment is from Garden in Bloom.

Stampin’ Up! Touches of Texture!

Stampin’ Up! Touches of Texture!

Hey there! Today's card is another one we are making at the Bloomin' Birthday Card Class today.  Originally a swap from Wendy Lee, I added a few touches of my own to offer this card to my stampers:

Stampin_up_touches_of_texture_carolpaynestamps1

This card is just so overall lovely there really wasn't much that I wanted to change! Touches of Texture is such a soft, vintage-y set, but without the vintage images you might expect to see. Just lots of soft flowers, speckles, and lace-ish stamps!

Stampin_up_touches_of_texture_carolpaynestamps2

We use Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum with Whisper White and mat layers of Sahara Sand. The Elegant Dots Textured Impressions Folder adds tactile dimension that goes perfectly with the delicate Touches of Texture images.

Stampin_up_touches_of_texture_carolpaynestamps3

Sweet Sugarplum ribbon and a greeting from Happy Happenings, punched with the Classic Label Punch, are perfect finishing touches!

Stampin_up_touches_of_texture_carolpaynestamps4

A sentiment from Butterfly Basics, the dragonfly from Touches of Texture,  and Sahara Sand stamped speckles finish off the inside. I covered the envelope flap with another print from Blooms & Bliss.

Stampin’ Up! Bunch of Blossoms in a Jar of Love!

Stampin’ Up! Bunch of Blossoms in a Jar of Love!

Hey there! My "Blooming Birthday" card class is coming up this weekend! I fell in love with an adorable card by Dena Rekow. I changed a few things, such as stamping the blossoms with Rose Red ink:

Stampin_up_bunch_of_blossoms_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

I love everything about this card, which combines the Bunch of Blossoms Bundle with the Jar of Love Bundle! Punches and framelits DO work together!

Stampin_up_bunch_of_blossoms_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps2

Gradient layers of color were achieved by "stamping off", also known as "generation" stamping, on scrap paper. This was the first time I used Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim. It's soft, pliable, and ties a beautiful bow!

Stampin_up_bunch_of_blossoms_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps3

The greeting, stamped with Rose Red, is from Bunch of Blossoms

Stampin’ Up! An Emoji Birthday for Ava!

Stampin’ Up! An Emoji Birthday for Ava!

Hey there! Ava, my second oldest grandchild, turned 11 yesterday! Time flies whether you want it to or not!

We attended her birthday party, and since her theme was Emoji, I whipped up these quick and easy cards with a variety of my Big Shot dies:

Stampin_up_cup_cake_cutouts_carolpaynestamps1

As I did for Oakley and Liam's birthdays, I made 3" x 3" cards for Uncle Logan and Ben to tuck a little money in.

Stampin_up_cupcake_cutouts_carolpaynestamps2

Here's how I made the "heart eyes" curved.

Rounding the heart 1

I laid the heart face-down on my Stampin' Pierce Mat, then used the Stylus from my Simply Scored to rub in a circular motion to shape it like a little bowl.

Rounding the heart 2

To help it keep it's curve, I adhered them with a snipped of a Stampin' Dimensional.

Stampin_up_cupcake_cutouts_carolpaynestamps3

I sponged the embossing with White Craft ink, and cut the greeting with a Cupcake Cutouts Framelit from Melon Mambo card stock.

Stampin_up_cupcake_cutouts_carolpaynestamps4

Stylized Birthday stamped in Melon Mambo completes the inside.

Ava turns 11

Ava was excited with the emoji cards!

Ava's big sister Maddie Kate baked and decorated the cake!
