Stampin’ Up! Masked Happy Hedgehogs!

Posted on April 12, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's card has a bit of a technique with it. I used the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set, without the hedgehog, and the Peaceful Moments stamp set to create this card with a masked section in the middle!

I started by laying down a piece of Post-it Tape across the Very Vanilla layer so I could stamp along the top and bottom edges but leave the center empty. I lined up the edges of the layer with the squares on my grid sheet, then laid the Post-It Tape across, using the lines of the squares to keep the tape straight. I was able to stamp the flower spray, the toadstool, and the butterfly, letting the stamping overlap the tape a bit without inking the middle.

I colored the toadstool with the nib tip of the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend, then colored the flounce below it with the Light Poppy Parade. I colored the flowers with a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend and the flower centers with a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blend.

I stamped a greeting from Peaceful Moments in the center with Tuxedo Black ink. I added a few rhinestones for some sparkle, otherwise this would have been a completely flat card!

Inside I used another Peaceful Moments sentiment, then stamped the other images from the front with the same inks but left them uncolored.

Stampin’ Up! Masked Pretty Perennials!

Posted on February 19, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to re-visit the masking technique I first showed you HERE.

The card I created to day was just as simple, but with a color combo of Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green, and Tuxedo Black.

To create my mask I used a piece of 5" x 3" copy paper, tearing along the top and bottom edges. I secured the 4" x 5 1/4" Basic White layer to my grid sheet, then secured the mask across the layer on each edge. I then stamped the blooms with some of them on the mask.

After I had stamped all of the images, I removed the mask to expose the blank area that was then ready to stamp my greetings:

"happy for you" is all from Pretty Perennials. I added a few rhinestones for some sparkle.

I tied two 10" lengths of Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon into a double bow.

I stamped the inside with more blooms but left off any sentiment so I can use it for any occasion.

Pretty Perennials Bundle	Pool Party 3/8" (1 Cm) Sheer Ribbon	Rhinestone Basic Jewels
Coastal Cabana 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock	Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin' Pad

Stampin’ Up! Delightfully Detailed Masking Technique!

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another feature of the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper is that you can use the designs with ink and a sponge to create extra designs that complement the original look!

This panel has the open lacy spiral circles connected to each other and the framed border. It is designed to fit perfectly on the Delightfully Detailed Note Card!

"I love you" is a Detailed with Love sentiment, stamped with Mint Macaron ink. I then took a second panel with the same design (you get a total of four of each panel design in each pack of Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Designer Series Paper) and laid it over the banner sentiment to sponge Mint Macaron ink over the "mask" with a Sponge Dauber. I added a couple of Mint Macaron Faceted Dots to complete the look.

I used the same mask and sponge dauber to add the design inside the card with Mint Macaron ink. It's so pretty! I can use the same mask over and over on more cards and with different colors!

This card is one of my favorites from my Delightfully Detailed Suite display!

Stampin’ Up! Painter’s Palette Pop of Paradise!

Posted on June 8, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm home for the summer! Last day babysitting for Liam and Darcy was yesterday! I will miss kissing their little faces everyday, but I will see them every Sunday, and before I get too comfortable hanging (and stamping!) at home it will be August 15 and school will be starting again!

Today I is the final card in my Pop of Paradise/Easel Fold series. I have a new box of goodies I ordered last week; those pretty new stamps are calling me to play!

For today's card I combined Painter's Palette with Pop of Paradise, using a masking technique to keep stamping on the easel.

I used my favorite color combo of Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Emerald Envy again, but added in splatters of embossed gold for extra pizazz!

I used the same layering technique for the easel-stop, cutting up punched Basic Black and Melon Mambo Decorative Labels to layer behind the sentiment.

Another simple technique is to stamp a color once and then stamp again and again without re-inking to achieve multiple shades of the same color.

Stampin’ Up! Masked Painter’s Palette!

Posted on May 23, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! We had a lovely Sunday afternoon yesterday! After grilling hamburgers, the family hung out on our front porch and played games while the kiddos played in the yard and sandbox my husband had built. It's so relaxing to watch little ones wander around in the yard, dabble on the swings, and scoop sand. A wonderful day!

Today I have another card created with Painter's Palette and Love & Affection stamp sets. It was my "warm up" to the easel blog hop card last week. Click THIS LINK to check it out and take the hop!

I started by stamping the easel from Painter's Palette with Archival Basic Black ink on a 4" x 5 1/4" Whisper White:

Now, just imagine that I stamped the easel again on a Post-it note, cut out the square, then put it over the stamped "canvas" on the easel. (I apparently forgot to take a picture of this step, sorry. Ever get so excited that you get ahead of yourself? That's what happened with this card!)

I stamped the brush strokes with Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach with the mask over the canvas, then stamped leaves and splatters with Pear Pizzazz.

After removing the mask I stamped Archival basic Black flowers and tiny blooms inside the flowers with Flirty Flamingo or Peekaboo Peach. I filled the canvas with the phrase from Painter's Palette and more little blooms.

This technique really makes the easel on this completely flat card really stand out!

Inside I followed up with another Painter's Palette phrase and more stamping to coordinate with the card front.

Pretty easy-peasey!

Just 9 more sleeps until June 1st!. Which also means only 8 more sleeps left to order from the Occasions Catalog and the Retiring List!

Check out what's still available (some at a discount) to order in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

DON'T FORGET THAT CARD STOCK PRICES INCREASE ON JUNE FIRST! Be sure to order your favs and must-haves before the prices go up!

Remember while shopping:

All orders of any amount (except Online Class Orders) will receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail.

Check the Clearance Rack and the Retiring Lists for savings of up to 60%!

When your order is at least $35 (before tax & shipping) and you use the May Hostess Code: AJJXYHHK you will receive the May Online Class; six cards, two each of three designs, with envelopes and instructions, FREE!

That’s all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! Day!
