Stampin’ Up! Patterned Occasions Mambo Birthday!

Posted on March 11, 2013 by Carol Payne

Happy Monday morning to you! In a few minutes I will be heading out for a "Liam Day", but before I go, I just wanted to share with you this second card from my "CampJustWannaStamp" this past Saturday. We used the free Sale-a-bration set, Patterned Occasions again for this one, only this time we used the elephant to make a "Mambo Birthday" card!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Why Mambo? When my youngest son, Benjamin, was a little guy, (he's almost 6 foot tall now!) he LOVED elephants and his favorite movie was the Disney Classic "Dumbo". For some reason we never knew, he called all elephants "Mambos" from that point on!

This card is almost exclusively Sale-a-bration, from the Vine Street Textured Impressions Folder on the Crumb Cake cardstock, the Sycamore Street Designer Paper, to the Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack. The only non-SAB items are the punches used (2 1/2" Circle and 2 3/8" Scallop Circle), the Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, and the "happy birthday" from Made for You!

This birthday inside phrase is from Delightful Dozen, which makes a delightful completion to this card! lol!

Well, I'd better get off here and head to Liam's house! Looking forward to spending the day with him!

We used the "kissing" technique to achieve the jeans texture on the pants with the Netting Background stamp.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The inside word is from Seasonal Sayings, a carryover set from the Holiday Catalog.

Here's a mini tutorial of how to "kiss" with stamps!

1. Ink stamp with a light color. Marina Mist used here. DO NOT stamp image.

Stampin’ Up! Fine Feathers Gradient Color!

Posted on March 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good Morning! It's a great weekend to stamp, isn't it? Back in January I found a card with this technique, Gradient Color, in a crafting magazine and couldn't wait to give it a try. It was stamped with a feather stamp from another company, so when Leadership attendees were given a list of free stamps to choose from as part of the Make & Take gift, I was thrilled to see Fine Feathers on it!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

It's a pretty simple technique, requiring only stamps, ink, and paper! The beauty is in the stamping, pure Stampin' Up! at its' best!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

I used the Occasions set, Amazing Family, for the greeting and inner phrase, and three Classic inkpads in Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, and Garden Green.

To stamp Gradient Color:

Ink stamp in lightest color, Tempting Turquoise for this sample.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Without stamping on cardstock, ink a portion of the same inked stamp on the next color, Island Indigo.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Stamp cardstock.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

Clean stamp on a Stampin' Scrub or a baby wipe before reinking stamp on lighter color again.

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

To achieve the gradient color look, ink stamp again with Island Indigo first, then ink in Garden Green. stamp on cardstock and admire your Gradient Color look!

That's it! Just ask if you have any questions!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
