Stampin’ Up! Lift Me Up Baby Shower Card for Sheila!

Posted on October 31, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing a special baby shower card. Sheila's my oldest daughter, Jessica's, bestie since they were babies. Both now 40, Sheila is having her very first baby in December. We are over the moon happy for her and her sweet hubby, David!

Honored to be asked to create an "Adventure Awaits" banner for the event, I'm waiting for pictures as I didn't feel my camera could do it justice. But I can share the card I created that coordinates with the banner:

I used the Up & Away Thinlets Dies to create the hot-air balloon. The map paper background is a retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. I keep almost all of my retired stuff. Although it takes up a lot of storage room, it comes in handy when a custom project like this comes along!

I cut the intricate balloon outline from Basic Black card stock, then used more of the thinlets to cut the panels behind it from Coastal Cabana, Blushing Bride, and Mint Macaron.

I used "Congratualtions" from the Beautiful Bouquet set to stamp in black ink.

Inside I used a sentiment from Hold on To Hope:

I inked the mini-balloon from Lift Me Up with Coastal Cabana, Blushing Bride, and Mint Macaron Stampin' Write Markers. After cutting out with an Up & Away Thinlet, I adhered with a Stampin' Dimensional.

Lest you think I am a perfect stamper who never makes a mistake, here's what I discovered after I adhered the banner to the card front. Can you see what's wrong with this card? Fortunately it was easily fixed!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on May 21, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is Sunday, so it's time to share some swaps! With the current catalog winding down, there's only one more Sunday after this one to share some of these!

Some of these are swaps I have and some are swaps I took pictures of at OnStage, so some I don't have any creator's names.

First, Susan Vilar used Garden in Bloom with Dapper Denim, Old Olive, and Watermelon Wonder to create a fresh look!

Next, the creator of this card used Wild about Flowers with Old Olive and Calypso Coral. The Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions folder and Layering Ovals Framelits give depth and texture.

The creator of this card CASED a sample from the Occasions catalog using the Lift Me Up Bundle. These stamps and framelits WILL be carrying over to the new catalog, but they WON'T be bundled any longer. To save 10%, be sure to order the bundle in wood-mount or clear-mount by May 31st!

Speaking of the Retiring List, Yummy in My Tummy is on it! Kathy Morgan created a fun shaker card, adding in a Balloon Adventures greeting, which is also on the Hit List!

This card by Sandy Carlson features By the Shore Designer Paper that IS retiring, but the Seaside Shore stamp set is NOT.

Cathy Miller created a fun z-fold card with the No Bones About It set. The Boho Chic Textured Impressions folder she used on the Soft Sky layer and Cucumber Crush Thick Baker's Twind ARE retiring.

Finally, Dena Tarkowski combined the carry over sets, Swirly Bird and Cool Treats for a bright and happy card!
