Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon!

Stampin’ Up! On the Horizon!

Hey there! Today is a super-exciting day for Stampin' Up! demonstrators! Later today the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog PDF will be posted online for Demonstrators ONLY to see! I will be at my daughter's most of the day helping her get her taxes together for her photography business, so I won't get to see it until evening, but that's will just have to be o.k. Stampin' Up! will also be posting the Retiring List from the current Annual Catalog, which will include discounted prices on some products, so I will be posting that list here tomorrow. April 1st demonstrator's will be allowed to pre-order new catalog products from a pre-selected list so we can start playing with them and getting ready for new catalog kick-off parties. If you are my customer and have ordered from me in the past year you will automatically receive one in the mail from me sometime later in April. If you are not my customer, don't have a current Stampin' Up! demonstrator you stamp with, and want to start ordering from me, just message me at carol@carolpaynestamps.com or leave me a comment with your snail mail address and I will gladly send you one!

Edited: I will do a separate post about the Retiring List, but here it is for you now:

My card for today was created with the On the Horizons Bundle of stamps and dies along with the New Horizons 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper!

Stampin_up_on_the_horizon_carolpaynestamps1

I was inspired by a swap I received from Barb Dykhouse. Barb's card was a standard-fold card, so I decided to use a z-fold to mine. She also left the card front without a greeting, so I decided to add one to mine.

Stampin_up_on_the_horizon_carolpaynestamps5

I heat-embossed the "thinking of you" from On the Horizon with white powder on a strip of Evening Evergreen before cutting with the smaller label from the Waves Dies.

Stampin_up_on_the_horizon_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped grass with Evening Evergreen, then layered on die-cut grasses that I cut from a green print of New Horizons Designer Paper. After stamping the wood-look image from On the Horizon with Basic Gray ink, I cut it with one of the two fence dies in the Horizon Dies set. I added another layer of die-cut grass, all with liquid glue, then added a few Pebbles Enamel Shapes.

Stampin_up_on_the_horizon_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped another On the Horizon sentiment an a bit of grass, the New Horizons Designer Paper did most of the work for this card!

Stampin’ Up! Symbols of Fortune Anniversary!

Stampin’ Up! Symbols of Fortune Anniversary!

Hey there! I have a really pretty card to share with you today created with the Artistic Dies, Symbols of Fortune Specialty Designer Paper, and the Love & Happiness stamp set!

I started with a Soft Succulent base, then layered on 1" wide strips of Symbols of Fortune Specialty Paper. After I had then adhered the way I wanted (using liquid glue so I had a bit of "wiggle-room"), I then used my paper snips to trim the edges flush with the edges of the card base.

Stampin_up_symbols_of_fortune_anniversary_carolpaynestamps3

I cut the beautiful leaves from the Artistic Dies with Basic White card stock, then adhered with tiny dots of liquid glue. The row of three tiny pearls just added the perfect touch!

Stampin_up_symbols_of_fortune_anniversary_carolpaynestamps4

I added another partial strand of leaves to the lower right side, then heat-embossed the anniversary greeting from Love & Happiness with white embossing powder. Three more pearls and the card front was done!

Stampin_up_symbols_of_fortune_anniversary_carolpaynestamps5

Inside I used two more sentiments from Love & Happiness and added 1/2" wide strips of Symbols of Fortune Specialty to pull it all together.

Stampin_up_symbols_of_fortune_anniversary_carolpaynestamps6

Some of the Love & Happiness sentiments are so finely sized that a zoom is needed to be appreciated!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Hey there! Today's card is a CASE from a Boughs & Blossoms card found on page 26 of the January/June Mini Catalog! One of my stampers wanted to know how to make it, so I made it myself so I can show it to her at our next class together. This card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, Bough Punch (as a bundle to save 10%), and white heat embossing!

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps4

I punched So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Blushing Bride card stock and the same colors plus Pear Pizzazz designer paper with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to create the bases for each are on the card front.

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps5

The greeting is white heat-embossed on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz, then trimmed with Paper Snips. The white leaves and blooms are punched with the Bough punch and then added to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps6

Other images from Boughs & Blossoms are white heat-embossed on the various subtle card stock colors.

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps7

Inside is all stamped with more Boughs & Blossoms images.

Stampin’ Up! Whirling Sails!

Stampin’ Up! Whirling Sails!

Hey there! Today's card is created with the Give It A Whirl dies, Let's Set Sail Bundle, and the Gentle Waves Background stamp. I love seeing what I can fit into the window cut with the Give It A Whirl dies!

Stampin_up_gentle_waves_lets_set_sail_carolpaynestamps2

I split this greeting from Let's Set Sail into three parts so it could be read as you turn the dial on the card!

 I highlighted the words with Silver Foil stars, cut with a die from the Give It A Whirl set.

Love it!

Stampin_up_gentle_waves_lets_set_sail_carolpaynestamps5

I used a sentiment from Sunny Sentiments. It's one of the best birthday sentiments in the Annual Catalog! I hope it doesn't retire. Demonstrators get to find out next Wednesday, the 23rd, when we get to see the new Annual Catalog early. Getting to see new products early is just ONE of the perks of purchasing the $99 Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Hey there! Today's card was created simply for fun, and I love how it turned out! I combined three stamp sets: Free As a Bird, Garden Birdhouses, and Eden's Garden Bundle to come up with this earthy but spring-like card!

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps3

After I adhered a layer of In Good Taste Designer Paper to the Crumb Cake card base, I then cut Soft Succulent Designer Paper with an Eden die and added it with tiny dots of liquid glue. I then used a Blending Brush to apply Crumb Cake ink over both layers to give it an aged, vintage look. I stamped the birds on the branch from Free As A Bird (I love those birdies and this set, I have my fingers crossed that it doesn't retire from the catalog next week!) with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, then singled out just one birdie to color with Stampin' Blends Markers. I cut him out with Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the fine tip of a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker before adhering him above the birdhouse with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the "sticks bow" by wrapping Linen Thread loosely around about three fingers a couple of times, tied in a bow, then cut the loops apart. I adhered below the bird with a couple of glue dots.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped the birdhouse from Garden Birdhouses with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, cut with my snips, and then colored with Naturals Stampin' Blends. It was also adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps6

I cut Soft Suede card stock with the label from the Eden dies, then stamped and heat embossed the Eden's Garden greeting with white embossing powder. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (carried over from the Holiday Mini) to pull it all together.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps7

Inside I stamped a Free As a Bird sentiment on In Good Taste designer paper with Soft Suede ink before adhering. I cut a bit more Soft Suede designer paper with another Eden Die to add below the sentiment with liquid glue. I finished off the inside with more Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush.

I cut him out with Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the fine tip of a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker before adhering him above the birdhouse with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the "sticks bow" by wrapping Linen Thread loosely around about three fingers a couple of times, tied in a bow, then cut the loops apart. I adhered below the bird with a couple of glue dots.

I stamped the birdhouse from Garden Birdhouses with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, cut with my snips, and then colored with Naturals Stampin' Blends. It was also adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

I cut Soft Suede card stock with the label from the Eden dies, then stamped and heat embossed the Eden's Garden greeting with white embossing powder. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (carried over from the Holiday Mini) to pull it all together.

Inside I stamped a Free As a Bird sentiment on In Good Taste designer paper with Soft Suede ink before adhering. I cut a bit more Soft Suede designer paper with another Eden Die to add below the sentiment with liquid glue. I finished off the inside with more Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Hey there! Today's card is green, but it isn't St. Patrick's Day green. I don't have to worry about being pinched today whether I wear green or not as I will be staying home all day with Fiona! lol!

I decided to play around with the alcohol marker/alcohol technique a little bit to try and replicate a card I found on Pinterest. The person who uploaded it didn't have any directions, as I don't believe it was their card anyway, so I just winged it. My card doesn't look much like the inspiration piece, but that's ok!

I started with a layer of 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla. I stamped the flower stems one at a time, sprinkled with gold embossing powder, and then heated before I stamped the next flower so I could place them where I wanted. Then I stamped the greeting and the dragonflies (which also sort of look like butterflies). I used images from both the Dragonfly Garden and Garden Wishes stamp sets. Next I scribbled color on the flower heads and the dragonflies with a Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends Alcohol Marker. I then used a watercolor brush to dab 91% Rubbing Alcohol on each bloom to cause the color to pool and spread. 91% alcohol dries pretty quickly, so I was then able to color around and over the gold embossed stems and background with a Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker.

My next step was to dab tiny dots of liquid glue over the layer. I let it set to dry tacky for a few  minutes, then pressed Gilded Leafing onto the card front. I then used a dry brush to flick away the leafing that was not stuck to the glue.

I tied Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon around the card, tying in a simple knot.

I really love how the Dark Magenta Madness pops against the muted Soft Succulent color.

I added a Dragonfly Garden sentiment and a few more flowers stems inside with gold heat embossing.
