Stampin’ Up! Mixed Borders!

Posted on June 16, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card is another with the Bleach Technique. I love it when I'm playing with a technique and the ideas just keep rollin'!

For today's card I started by bleach stamping Soft Sky card stock with Touches of Texture stamps to get a Very Vanilla color. After the bleach finished developing and dried, I stamped the Definitely Dahlia Background with Versamark in the upper right corner.

I used the new Mixed Borders to stamp the Very Vanilla greeting banner that I had punched with the Banner Triple Punch. I used Basic Black Archival ink for the leaves, then stamped the greeting with Pool Party. The Mixed Borders set leaves a space within the border so you can stamp the words in it! I tied a bit of new Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine around the banner in a knot.

Hopefully you can see the Versamark-stamped Definitely Dahlia better in this picture:

Inside I stamped the dahlia again with Pool Party and used a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to ink up just part of a stamp from One Big Meaning.

Stampin’ Up! Wisteria Wonder Touches of Texture!

Posted on June 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card features the bleach technique on Wisteria Wonder. As I've said before, when you're stamping with bleach, you never know what color you will discover!

When I stamped Wisteria Wonder with bleach and Touches of Texture images I found an almost Blushing Bride color! yay!

The center of each bleached line is a creamy white, but the edges are Blushing Bride, so I used new Blushing Bride 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon to coordinate. I stamped the background with stamped-off Wisteria Wonder and another flower image from Touches of Texture.

I stamped a phrase from another new set, Birthday Banners, punched with the new Classic Label punch.

Inside I used the same bloom that I used to stamp the front with bleach, stamping this time with Wisteria Wonder. I used a tiny stippled image with Blushing Bride, and finished with the coordinating phrase from Birthday Banners.

The Medium Whisper White envelope is stamped to match the inside of the card and lined with Subtles Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Touches of Texture!

Posted on June 13, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I didn't get a chance to stamp all weekend, can you believe it?

So here I am on Monday morning working on some projects due this week, the first being today's blog post! After playing with bleach last week, I wanted to try different colors of card stock. Sweet Sugarplum, a new In Color, combined with Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White is super-duper!

I used the delicate spray of blooms from Touches of Texture, "inking" with bleach. After letting the bleach develop, I stamped a few Touches of Texture dragonflies, with Sweet Sugarplum, embossing with the Brick Wall Folder.

The bleach brought out a creamy white!

Simply pour a little bleach carefully onto a couple of folded paper towels on a plate, enough to wet the towels, but no puddles.

I white heat-embossed a phrase from Better Together on vellum, cutting with the banner framelit in the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlets. I rolled up a couple of glue dots to hide behind the "J" in just and the "e" in note to adhere to the card front under the Sweet Sugar Plum 3/8" Ruched Ribbon.

Inside I used a Greatest Greetings phrase and more dragonflies, lining the envelope with Playful Palette Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Pun Intended!

Posted on June 12, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's Sunday morning, so it's time for swaps! yay!

Today I'm sharing swaps all made with the Pun Intended Host set. Some arrived with their creator's name and some didn't, so if there's no name it's because I don't know who they are.

This card features the camera from Pun Intended with colors of Whisper White, Basic Black, and Melon Mambo. A strip of Playful Palette Washi Tape adds extra color.

The creator highlighted one camera by cutting it out and dimensionaling it onto a Smoky Slate 2" Circle, and adding Clear Wink of Stella and a Rhinestone.

Terri Meehan used Flirty Flamingo, Peeakaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, and Whisper White for her "News Flash" creation:

This "SNAPPY BIRTHDAY" CARD has Peekaboo Peach, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Playful Palette Designer Paper:

Kristin Kortonick used the light bulb from Pun Intended with Layering Squares Framelits and Affectionately Yours Washi Tape:

She embossed the bulb with new Copper Embossing Powder, coordinating well with the copper-flecked washi tape!

Jenna Roby turned the light bulb into a mini-shaker, with Playful Palette Designer Paper.

The new Foam Adhesive Strips are easy to bend to the bulb shape. She hand-cut the negative space , then added a few gold sequins to shake!

Amy Storrie used the Spotlighting technique for her Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, and Basic Black creation:

To spotlight, Amy stamped the bulb once on the card front, then stamped again on a scrap, cut it out, sponged with Daffodil Delight ink, and colored the heart with a Flirty Flamingo marker. She added it over the first bulb with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Laura Milligan used the cute bumblebee from Pun Intended, keeping it simple with lots of Whisper White and pops of Melon Mambo!

Genevieve Ko used Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate, and Whisper White for her "Happy bee-day" creation:

Finally, Judy Anderson combined Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Paper with the Pun Intended bee for a sweet "just because" card:

All the supplies used today can be found in my online store, but you have to place an order of at least $150 to be able to choose Pun Intended as part of your Stampin' Rewards!
