Stampin’ Up! Apothecary Art!

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday! I'm really looking forward to the weekend! My dear Sister-in-law, Debbie, is coming for an overnight visit with her daughter, Amanda, and baby grandson, Logan!

If you've read my blog much, you probably know that I also have a son named Logan. He is a 6'2", 22-year-old chemistry student at Missouri S&T in Rolla, MO, and he just happens to be home this weekend too!

I was honored when Amanda asked me if I minded that she named her son Logan because she had always loved the name, so I'm excited to have "little Logan" to visit!

Today's card I created by request for a hostess next week using the Apothecary Art stamp set and the Label Collection Framelits:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The shape of this Baja Breeze card was cut with the Oval Accents Die and the Big Shot, then embossed with the Fancy Fan Textured Impressions Folder. I sponged Soft Suede ink all over to accent the embossed texture. The 5/8" Vanilla Flower Trim was colored with a Baja Breeze Stampin'Write Marker. The soft colored look for the flowers was achieved by scribbling the same Baja Breeze Marker on the top of a stamp box, then picking up the color with a Blender Pen and coloring the flowers. The Blender Pen dilutes and softens the marker ink, and then I added in darker accents in the flower centers with the marker direct to the paper:

Can you see the difference?

When you open the card you then have a "mini-card" inside!

Which then opens to this:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

So there you have it! I really like this card! I'm so glad my hostess requested this stamp set as I hadn't played with this set for awhile!

That's it for today! I'm going to Liam's this morning to play with him and watch the 3rd season of "Downton Abbey", which I am told is going to make me "freak-out" at the end, according to my two daughters who have already watched it. (I'll let you know tomorrow if I "freaked" or not!)

Until then, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! First Christmas Shadowbox Card!

Posted on September 29, 2012 by Carol Payne

I used a beautiful Holiday Catalog set, "First Christmas", to create this "shadowbox" card:

I chose to use the Early Espresso Core'dinations cardstock for the front of the "stable".

Stampingrox! Product Review: After running this layer through the Big Shot in the "Woodgrain" Embossing Folder, I found the condition of the paper to be a bit more delicate than I really liked for a card with so many folds, but I was able to make it work! I also used the new "Stampin' Sanding System" to increase the distressed look of the woodgrain, which of course made the cardstock even more delicate! In the future I will limit my use of this particular cardstock to a flat second layer.

I heat embossed the baby in the manger, the greeting, and the star with Pewter Stampin' Emboss Powder. All were cut out with either the Labels or Bitty Banners Framelit Dies, as was the opening in the center of the "stable". The holly and berries embellishments were created with one of the leaf and stem "Cannery" framelits and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.

Hope you've enjoyed my "shadowbox" card!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
