Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day April 24!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day April 24!

Hey there! Today is our family's gathering for Easter at our house. I am very thankful that this year I am able to host. Last year I was still fragile-but-recovering from my post-covid anxiety attacks so we gathered at my daughter, Alisa's house. I am also very thankful for modern medicines that have helped me in my recovery.

I have a pretty collection of sympathy cards to share with you today!

First, Laura Barto used the Grassy Grove Bundle to create her pretty card:

Next, Gail Connelly used one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders with the Inspired Thoughts stamp set for her pretty sympathy card.

Carol Slack combined Cinnamon Cider and Pale Papaya with Inspired Thoughts and Encircled In Friendship:

Rhonda Bassler created her sympathy card with the Honeybee Home Bundle, Heart & Home Designer Paper, and Hive 3D embossing folder.

Sharon Tong-Robinson used the Flowering Tulips bundle with a sentiment from Peaceful Moments:

Finally, Jenna Roby used the retiring Simply Elegant Specialty paper with retiring Ornate Frames dies:

Stampin’ Up! Masked Happy Hedgehogs!

Stampin’ Up! Masked Happy Hedgehogs!

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!

Stampin_up_happy_hedgehogs_carolpaynestamps1

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.

Stampin_up_happy_hedgehogs_carolpaynestamps7

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.

Stampin_up_happy_hedgehogs_carolpaynestamps3

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!

Stampin_up_happy_hedgehogs_carolpaynestamps4

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! Butterfly Brilliance CASEing Myself!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance CASEing Myself!

Hey there! Today I want to share with you a card that I CASE'd (Copy And Selectively Edit) from myself! I was stamping up some leftover class kits when I decided to change the card a bit using most of the original supplies. I liked it so well I knew I needed to share it with you!

My original card on the left used the Butterfly Brilliance bundle of stamps and dies, Peaceful Moments and Dragonfly Garden stamps, and the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks with both White Craft and Balmy Blue Ink.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_carolpaynestamps1

I kept the same basic layout and stamps for my CASE, but instead of using the mask and a Blending Brush, I stamped part of the Butterfly Brilliance background image with White Craft ink, then heat embossed with White Powder.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_carolpaynestamps2

I added Elegant Gems to the butterfly bodies just like I did in the original.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_carolpaynestamps3

Since I will be packaging most of these up to offer at my next Craft Fair, I decided to leave the inside free of any sentiment so they can be used for multiple occasions.

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man for Jim!

Hey there! I still haven't been able to do any stamping this week with Vacation Bible School still going on (two more nights!), but I remembered I had this card I'm sharing with you today in my stash. I had taken the pictures minutes before giving the card away!

I needed a masculine birthday card in a hurry one day last week, so I reached for the A Good Man stamp set and my new Give It A Whirl dies for some fun!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps1

I used three of the eight sentiments in this set to stamp in the three "windows" of the card.

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps3

The wheel you turn has little scallops on it to make it easier to grab with your finger. The simple contraption is secured in the center with a brad. The dies cut the holes for the brad as you cut out the pieces, so there's no guesswork of where to put the holes!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps4

This sentiment is my fave!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps5

Sentiment #3!

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps6

Inside I used a sentiment from Peaceful Moments. I stamped the "HAPPY B-DAY" from Happiest of Birthdays on the envelope flap.

Stampin_up_a_good_man_carolpaynestamps7

The give it a whirl dies may look complicated, but I was able to figure it out without having any written or video instruction. (I'm not bragging, they are just THAT EASY!)

Order them today and take your card making up a notch!

Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue Butterfly Brilliance!

Hey there! Today I have another pair of sympathy cards to share with you, again made with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle, but with a completely different color scheme. I used Basic White, Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, and White Craft ink.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps4

I created the background with one of the Basics Decorative Masks, Balmy Blue & White Craft ink, and Blending Brushes.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps6

I stamped one of the Butterfly Brilliance butterflies on white with Balmy Blue ink, then cut with a Brilliant Wings die. I added more Balmy Blue ink to the edges with a Blending Brush. After adhering to the card front with a couple of glue dots I added three Elegant Faceted Gems.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps7

The front sentiment is from Peaceful Moments.

Stampin_up_butterfly_brilliance_balmy_blue_carolpaynestamps9

I used White Craft ink with the mask first, then slightly moved the mask before adding the Balmy Blue.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Stenciled!

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Stenciled!

Hey there! The Expressions In Ink Specialty Designer Paper is currently on backorder until June 28th, which means you can still order it but it won't ship to you until after that date.

With that in mind, I thought you might enjoy seeing some cards created with just the Artistically Inked Bundle to give you some ideas to use while you wait for your specialty paper to ship!

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_stenciled_carolpaynestamps2 (2)

I created today's card with a stencil I cut with one of the Artistic Dies.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_stenciled_carolpaynestamps7 (2)

I used a Blending Brush with Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Granny Apple Green ink to blend color over the stencil in more than one area of the Basic White layer.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_stenciled_carolpaynestamps8 (2)

I cut the flower and leaves with Artistic dies, adding a Coastal Cabana Playing With Patterns Resin Dot and Clear Wink of Stella to the bloom.

Stampin_up_artistically_inked_stenciled_carolpaynestamps3

I used the same Blending Brush to add Coastal Cabana to the greeting strip and then added a scallop edge cut with a Penned Flower die.

Inside I used one of my favorite Peaceful Moments sentiments.
