Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper Sale!

Posted on July 1, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been a little absent this week because I've been managing the "Grammie Resort" for two sets of grandchildren! Two of my daughters have anniversaries the last week of June, so naturally they each need a little overnight trip to celebrate! Sunday night we had Oakley, Lando, Ivory, and Cyndal while their parents went to Missouri for their 12th anniversary. They stayed until early Monday afternoon, and then Darcy and Fiona came to stay two nights while their parents went to the Ark Encounter in Kentucky for their 20th anniversary. The girls stayed until Wednesday evening. We also have been keeping Jessica's fur baby, Charlie, while they are Camp Hope counselors, so to say I've been a little distracted would be putting it mildly, but we've all had a lovely time!

I have to work on Vacation Bible School crafts today, but I wanted to jump on here and tell you about the new Designer Series Paper Sale from Stampin' Up! that started this morning!

Stampin’ Up! Lots of Happy In the Wild Card!

Posted on April 17, 2019 by Carol Payne

Hey there! A few weeks ago a friend asked me to create a card for her dear friend that was moving out-of-state and taking her zebra with her!

How often do you get a card request like that?

I used a retired set, In The Wild. It has a 2003 copywrite!

The card requested also needed to be larger than the regular 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" I normally make, so I made the card 5 1/2" x 7:

I used Glossy card stock, rubbing first with my embossing buddy, then stamping the zebra repeatedly with Versamark. After sprinkling all of the zebras with clear embossing powder, I heated them with my heat tool. I used a Sponge Brayer to roll Crushed Curry ink all over. I burnished (rubbed) the piece with a tissue to remove excess ink and to make the zebras "pop". I then sponged the edges and lightly over the piece with Tuxedo Black ink for a distressed look.

After stamping the zebra on a rectangle of Whisper White with Tuxedo Black ink, I added a sentiment from the Lots of Happy Card Kit and sponged with both Crushed Curry and black ink. I stamped the "FRIEND" from the Bouquet Blooms set.

Inside I used another sentiment from Lots of Happy:

I used the Motion Stamping technique, continuing to stamp multiple times in a row without re-inking the stamp, to get the look of a running zebra.

I used the Envelope Punch Board, which is retiring, to create a custom envelope using some retired black-and-white designer paper. This was a fun card to make!
