Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Another Great Year!

Stampin’ Up! Watercolor Another Great Year!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there. I have another card to share with you today that I created a few weeks ago but just haven't had time to show you yet. I "think" today's card doesn't have a single retiring product on it, but let's check to make sure, shall we?

Stampin_up_another_great_year_watercolor_1

I embossed the greeting from Another Great Year (carrying over to the NEW 2014-2015 Catalog!) with White Stampin' Emboss Powder before applying the color to the Watercolor Paper.

Whoops! I DID use Midnight Muse ink and cardstock, which is retiring! =(  This color can be substituted with Night of Navy and would still blend well on the Watercolor Paper with the Pool Party and Baked brown Sugar. All colors were applied to wet Watercolor Paper with an AquaPainter dipped directly into ink refills.

As a final touch I splashed a few drops of water onto the paper and then allowed the water to just settle into the color.

Sponging around the edges of the inside and the outside pulls the color from the Midnight Muse layer into the creation.

That's all for now. Below is the listing of the products used for you to refer to as you are shopping in my Online Store HERE.

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Stampin’Up! Evergreen Silver Silent Night!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I guess you could say I'm on a "tree kick" right now. First I played with Serene Silhouettes and Lovely as a Tree, and today I played with a carryover list set, Evergreen!

Stampin_up_evergreen_1

I paired Midnight Muse cardstock with a Basic Gray mat layer (bet you thought it was Brushed Silver, didn't ya?) and Silver Encore Metallic ink from the Holiday Catalog.

Evergreen is so gorgeous! I stamped the solid trees on each side first, then breathed on the stamp again without re-inking to get the second and third stampings of the trees to give the illusion of depth and distance between the trees. The silver ink worked perfect with this simple technique!

The fine detail of the "Silent Night" tree stamp is just incredible:

Stampin_up_evergreen_2

Sometimes silver ink can be a bit gloppy, which I was afraid of with the tiny script of this stamp, but NO PROBLEM!!!

Stampin_up_evergreen_3

Inside I used the remaining two stamps in the set (this card is stamped ENTIRELY with the Evergreen stamp set) with Midnight Muse ink on the Whisper White layer, breathing on the stamp again to get several stampings from one inking.

That's all for now! It's "Friends & Family Day" at church this Sunday, which means I need to throw a lasagna in the oven to take for the "dinner-on-the-grounds"!

Here's your shopping list for this super-simple card:

Evergreen #127970 Wood-mount $25.95, #127973 Clear-mount $18.95

Midnight Muse 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock #126843 $6.95

Stampin’Up! Wonderful Blessing!

Stampin’Up! Wonderful Blessing!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! We interrupt "What to Washi Week" to bring you this brand spankin' new creation:

Wonderful blessing 1

I created this with the new Wonderful Blessing single stamp (#134779 $8.95). I gold heat-embossed the image, along with Flowering Flourishes images on Midnight Muse cardstock.

I decided to use the "Double Door" or "Gatefold" layout. Here's the basic design:

Cut two card bases
8 1/2” x 4 ¼”. Score each at 2 1/8” and 4 ¼” on the 8 ½” side with Simply
Scoring Tool. Use the smaller end of the scoring tool to score your lines. This
lets the folds come together more closely when you put the card together. Fold
both bases into a “z” shape as shown in picture #2. Attach 4 ¼” x 4 ¼” sections
to each other to form card back with SNAIL.

I then cut the circles for the "doors" with the Circles Collection Framelits. It's not easy to describe this step. Maybe I will do a video for this card soon, we'll see! Leave me a comment if you would like to see this card in a video!

Wonderful blessing 2

I'm lovin' how this card turned out!

Wonderful blessing 3

The "merry christmas" is from Teeny Tiny Wishes, embossed on Midnight Muse and punched with the Word Window punch. I punched some of the new Gold Foil sheets with the Modern Label punch to layer behind it.

Wonderful blessing 4

That's all for now! I'm going to read to my grandson, Cohen, in his kindergarten class today for Grandparent's Day, so we shall see what I accomplish after I get home!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Christmas Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Silver Glimmer Christmas Tree!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! We are in full Liam-mode around here! Nothing is safe from a 12-month-old! He makes me realize how far my house has come from being toddler-proofed! Needless to say, it's rapidly getting more "proofed" all the time!

I spent most of yesterday before Liam arrived running errands, helping Ben select his first i-phone, and getting groceries. I realized I hadn't done a serious supermarket run since before Oakley was born 3 weeks ago!

Today's card is one I created on Monday for my Christmas Card Class this coming Saturday. It's a pretty simple card, just some Pewter heat-embossing for the greeting from the Carryover List set Greetings of the Season and Silver Glimmer Paper strips. The addition of the Red Glimmer Paper Itty Bitty Shapes circles and the Silver Merry Minis Punch Pack star make it really festive!

Silver Glimmer Tree 1

Midnight Muse is the card base and focal image layer. I added the 1/2" wide Silver Glimmer "tree branch" strips with Tombow glue, as well as 1/2" Silver Glimmer strips around the edges of the Midnight Muse layer with the same adhesive. I wanted give the look of a solid mat of Silver Glimmmer paper behind the Midnight Muse layer without cutting full layers of the  glimmer paper, so opted for the 1/2" strips. I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

Silver glimmer tree 2
The inside verse is from another Carryover List set, More Merry Messages, stamped in Midnight Muse ink.

That's all for now! If you are planning to come to class on Saturday, please RSVP soon!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Print Poetry Birthday Set #1!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Good morning! I'm so happy you have stopped in to see me today!

A few days ago I showed you this card HERE using the Fan Fair Designer Paper and a Riding Hood Red card base. I liked that card so much, I decided to try out the Print Poetry Paper Stack with the same layout!

I made a few sets of cards with this layout, so today I'm going to show you the first of three sets:


Print poetry 3
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This one is more "shabby chic":

Print poetry 1
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

And the inside of one:


Print poetry 4
©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The greeting is from You're Amazing, the inside verse is from One in a Million, and the flourish is from Established Elegance!

Colors used: Midnight Muse & Soft Suede ink & markers, Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla cardstock. Note: I dragged the Midnight Muse inkpad against the edges of the layers to smudge the ink on instead of sponging.

Accessories: Midnight Muse 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Paper Snips, In-Color Dahlias, Glue Dots

That's all for today! I hope you come back tomorrow to see the next set!
