Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso Night in Bethlehem!

Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso Night in Bethlehem!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! The Night in Bethlehem set gave me lots of room to create! After my "warm up" Tranquil Tide cards I shared yesterday, I moved on to Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, and Gold for my color palette. I heat embossed the star with gold powder in the upper left corner, making sure I rubbed the card stock with my Embossing Buddy first to remove static and oils.

Sponging is an easy way to add depth and texture to your creation. The Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog was perfect for this card, but it is Whisper White-based, not vanilla, so I sponged the edges with Soft Suede and very lightly sponge brayered with Crumb Cake. (In real life it looks more aged and yellowed than it does here.)

I gold-embossed the greeting on a strip of Very Vanilla that I used Paper Snips to cut banner points on one end. I added a wrap of Linen Thread to finish.

Inside I used more Night in Bethlehem images, gold-embossing the sentiment and stars. I stamped the Bethlehem skyline with Early Espresso, and sponged the edges with Soft Suede.

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Tide Night in Bethlehem!

Stampin’ Up! Tranquil Tide Night in Bethlehem!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's my birthday today! I remember when I was a little girl, I waited for this day ALL YEAR. Next to Christmas, it was my favorite day. Now with a husband, 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, 3 sons, and 9 grandchildren, my birthday has taken a backseat in my attention; not because I don't like getting another year older, I actually don't mind (much), but my family is more important to me than me.

Be sure to read all the way to the bottom of this post. I have a little gift for everyone ordering from me today!

Today I'm sharing another project I created for Vacation Stamping School with the Night In Bethlehem set. This was actually my "warm up" project before I moved on to more advanced/technique cards. I used a simple combo of Tranquil Tide and Very Vanilla. I embossed a layer of Tranquil Tide with the Holly Textured Impressions Folder to go behind the vanilla stamped layer.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped everything with Tranquil Tide ink, and tied  Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon in a bow on the side. I sponged all of the edges with Tranquil Tide ink. This card would be a super simple one to duplicate for your Christmas card!

For my second card I rearranged the images, embossing the bottom layer with the Oh My Stars Textured Impressions Folder. I also switched out the ribbon for Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim.

I just love this set! The images are easy to stamp and the meaning of the sentiments are so special!

Hey there and welcome to the Thailand Achievers Blog Hop! With the start of the Holiday Catalog right around the corner, (September 1st!), our theme for August is appropriately designated as "Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks"! Currently you are visiting Carol Payne. When it's time to move to the next blog, just click on the name below mine and hop along through the list to enjoy all of the inspiration and creativity.

I couple of weeks ago I was blessed to be asked to present at a demonstrator event, Vacation Stamping School. I chose the Night in Bethlehem Bundle to share, so today I'm sharing one of my projects:

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps1

This easy project received a collective "gasp" when I shared it. In addition to the beautiful images and the coordinating Bethlehem Edgelit dies, I used Foil Snowflakes, Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Fresh Fig 1/8" Sheer Ribbon.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps3

I sponged the night sky with Fresh Fig ink first, then added Night of Navy above, blending them together a bit with my sponge.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps2

I cut a stencil to sponge the Bethlehem "skyline" with a Bethlehem Edgelit Die. I laid it on Very Vanilla before sponging Fresh Fig, and then Night of Navy.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps6

After I removed the stencil I gold heat-embossed the Nativity star.

Stampin_up_night_in_bethlehem_carolpaynestamps7

All of the images I used on this card are included in the Night in Bethlehem set.
