Stampin’ Up! Polished Stone Dashing Deer Swap!

Posted on November 12, 2018 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I arrived home late last night, so this morning I'm posting this absolutely gorgeous card I received in a swap by Tandra Boyer. Tandra combined the Dashing Deer Bundle with the Polished Stone technique and a greeting from the Warm Hearted Holiday Catalog Host Set to create this beauty!

Tandra used Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue, and Mint Macaron reinkers with rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to dab the colors on a layer of Glossy White card stock. After the colors blended, she added dabs of Wink of Stella to finish the "polished" look! She cut a layer of Shimmery White card stock with a Detailed Deer Thinlet to allow the beautiful polished stone to peek through! She also added Iridescent Sequins using liquid glue for a bit of sparkle. I have a class for a monthly group in Marion scheduled for this Friday and we will be making this card! I think they will like it1

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day November 12th!

Posted on November 12, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm flying home today from the Stampin' Up! OnStage Live in Salt Lake City today, but I scheduled this blog post last night so you would still have new swaps to see!

Today I have another collection of fall-themed swaps that are really good ones!

First, Jan Rodrian used a Sponge Brayer to expertly blend So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze for this amazing fall card created with the Colorful Seasons bundle.

Next, Tamie Ackerson combined the Eclipse and Baby Wipe techniques for her card with the Colorful Seasons and Painted Harvest stamp sets. She cut the letters for "FALL" with the Large Letters Thinlets dies.

Susie Wood used the Masking Tape technique with Gourd Goodness and Swirly Snowflakes Thinlets for a lovely thank-you card. The Seaside Textured Impressions folder provides texture and Gold Faceted Gems add sparkle.

Ruth Ann Lilley used the Polished Stone technique on a layer of glossy card stock before stamping over it with the Painted Harvest stamp set. The Label Me Pretty set and Pretty Label Punch created the greeting.

Karen Kurz heat-embossed a Thankful Thoughts greeting with gold powder then layered over Painted Autumn Designer Paper and leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.

Finally, Deb MaCahan used the Tarnished Foil technique with the Woodland Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. She used gold, silver, and copper embossing powders to get this look. She then layered over a strip of Crumb Cake she had stamped with the Tree Rings background.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917SK Polished Stone Leaves!

Posted on September 6, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing my final project for the September Creative Crew Challenges on Splitcoaststampers. For this card, we were to use the Fall theme and this sketch for our inspiration:

With a sketch you can follow it literally, using four squares arranged just as shown, or you can use another shape or whatever and go with the inspiration. I chose the later way to create my card:

I used the Polished Stone technique from my previous post here.

After stamping the leaf from Colorful Seasons with Early Espresso ink, I stamped a Label Me Pretty sentiment on a plain area, then cut with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet. I arranged them to resemble the sketch over a Soft Suede layer I embossed with the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

I stamped the inside with a Better Together sentiment and added another polished stone leaf.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917TECH Polished Stone Colorful Seasons!

Posted on September 4, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another of the challenges for the September Creative Crew is to take a tutorial from the Splitcoaststampers and create a project with the Fall theme. I chose the Polished Stone tutorial by Beate Johns. You'll find her tutorial here.

I used Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red with the Polished Stone technique to create the leaves I stamped with a Colorful Seasons leaf and cut out with a Seasonal Layers Thinlet die. I added a Soft Suede leaf for contrast. If you've been watching my blog for a few days you probably have figured out that I'm in love with the Burlap Background stamp, especially when it's stamped on Sahara Sand card stock with Sahara Sand ink!

I'm also a little bit obsessed with this Happy Birthday greeting from Butterfly Basics! The Gold Faceted Gems add just the right amount of sparkle!

I breathed on the leftover ink on the Burlap stamp before I laid the Very Vanilla layer on it to gently rub for ink transfer. Label Me Pretty provided the sentiment.

Stampin’ Up! CCREW917INSP Woodland Foxy Friends!

Posted on September 2, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I'm sharing another of my fall projects created for a Creative Crew Challenge at http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/

We were give an assortment of Fall-themed pictures to inspire our work. Here are the three photos I used:

I used the Woodland Textured Impression Embossing Folder, Foxy Friends stamps, and Colorful Seasons Bundle:

How did Carol do that? Before embossing the Sahara Sand layer with the Woodland folder, I stamped a Foxy Friends fox with Pumpkin Pie ink and the stump with Early Espresso directly on the negative inside of the folder. (by "negative" I'm referring to the side where the tree trunks are not raised up) After carefully inserting the card stock into the folder against the un-inked side and closing it, I ran it through the Big Shot. I used a Blender Pen to smooth and add a bit more color to the fox, then used a Sponge Dauber to add Whisper White Craft ink to the tree trunks.

I used my popped-up banner technique to display the Colorful Seasons greeting, framing each side with leaves created with the Colorful Seasons Bundle and the Polished Stone Technique.The leaves get their brilliant colors from Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red ink refills. (I will be sharing more about Polished Stone in my Monday post) I sponged Early Espresso ink onto Touch of Nature Elements for the finishing touch.

I stamped inside with the Butterfly Basics "Happy birthday"; stamping a couple of small Colorful Seasons leaves inked using the Baby Wipe technique and the Polished Stone ink refills.
