Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise from Jan!

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise from Jan!

Hey there! A few weeks ago I loaned my Pop of Paradise set to my friend, Jan. She loaned me an embossing folder. We plan to get together soon to have lunch and swap back our things, but I was so pleasantly surprised to find this delightful card in my mailbox!

Jan combined Pop of Paradise with Timeless Textures, using Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette, and Very Vanilla for her color palette.

She even threw in a bit of Butterfly Basics with the honeycomb image! Everything about this card is very vintage and shabby chic! I love it!

Stampin’ Up! Painter’s Palette Pop of Paradise!

Stampin’ Up! Painter’s Palette Pop of Paradise!

Hey there! I'm home for the summer! Last day babysitting for Liam and Darcy was yesterday! I will miss kissing their little faces everyday, but I will see them every Sunday, and before I get too comfortable hanging (and stamping!) at home it will be August 15 and school will be starting again!

Today I is the  final card in my Pop of Paradise/Easel Fold series. I have a new box of goodies  I ordered last week; those pretty new stamps are calling me to play!

For today's card I combined Painter's Palette with Pop of Paradise, using a masking technique to keep stamping on the easel.

Stampin_up_painters_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

I used my favorite color combo of Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Emerald Envy again, but added in splatters of embossed gold for extra pizazz!

Stampin_up_painters_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

I used the same layering technique for the easel-stop, cutting up punched Basic Black and Melon Mambo Decorative Labels to layer behind the sentiment.

Stampin_up_painters_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

Another simple technique is to stamp a color once and then stamp again and again without re-inking to achieve multiple shades of the same color.

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Pink Paradise!

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Pink Paradise!

Hey there! I'm back again with another Pop of Paradise easel card with the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Paper! This popular paper went on back order even before the new Catalog went live last week! But don't worry, you can still order it and it will ship out after June 13!

Stampin_up_pop_of_pink_paradise_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

There are lovely PINK! designs in the Pop of Pink Specialty pack, including gold-embossed sheets, but I chose this simple black, white, and Melon Mambo print to let the Melon Mambo-stamped flamingo POP!

Stampin_up_pop_of_pink_paradise_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

I did another Easel fold.  4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4", then a layer 3 5/8" x 4 7/8", followed by layers 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", and 3 1/4" x 4 1/2".

Stampin_up_pop_of_pink_paradise_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

I stamped the Painter's Palette easel directly on the designer paper, then stamped the flamingo, greeting, and leaf on Whisper White. After cutting out with a Layering Squares Framelit, I added it to the center of the easel with SNAIL. Rhinestones and a black-stamped "push-pin" that I hand-cut with my snips and adhered with just a tiny piece of a dimensional finish off the front.

Stampin_up_pop_of_pink_paradise_carolpaynestamps4 - Copy

The Painter's Palette sentiment is punched with the Decorative Label punch and framed with Melon Mambo and Basic Black Decorative Labels that were cut, trimmed, and adhered to the back with SNAIL.

Stampin_up_pop_of_pink_paradise_carolpaynestamps5 - Copy

I just LOVE Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Basic Black, and Emerald Envy together!

Stampin’ Up! Playful Palette Pop of Paradise Easel Card!

Stampin’ Up! Playful Palette Pop of Paradise Easel Card!

Hey there! Do you ever get on a roll making the same style of card but mixing up the colors and stuff just to see how they look? I did while playing with Pop of Paradise. I can't begin to tell you how surprised I am at how much I love that flamingo!

Today I used a print from the Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack to start my design:

Stampin_up_playful_palette_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

Easel cards are so EASY! Starting with a 4 1/4" x 11" card base, score at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4". After folding to create a "mountain fold" on the 8 1/4" scored line, you add the "easel" and off you go!

Stampin_up_playful_palette_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

Although most flamingos are stamped with Melon Mambo or Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped this one with Sweet Sugarplum, one of the colors in the Playful Palette designer paper. I stamped the leaf with Emerald Envy. All of the black images are stamped with Archival Basic Black.

Stampin_up_playful_palette_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

I used Painter's Palette to stamp  brushstrokes on the inside.

Stampin_up_playful_palette_pop_of_paradise_carolpaynestamps4 - Copy

I also a sentiment from Love & Affection, and added one more flamingo just because I love her so much!

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise Uneven Fold Card!

Stampin’ Up! Pop of Paradise Uneven Fold Card!

Hey there! I played with a new (to me) fun fold I'd been seeing online, so I decided to try one! The Pop of Paradise stamps and Pop of Pink Specialty Paper was still on my crafting desk, so I used them again to create this uneven fold card:
Stampin_up_pop_of_paradise_uneven_fold_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

This card gives you lots of sections to embellish; with plenty of room for  sentiments!

Card base dimensions: 5 1/2" x 11", scored at 1 1/2", 3", 5 1/2", and 8". Fold accordian-style (Mountain, Valley, Mountain, Valley).

Designer paper and card stock layers dimensions: 1 1/4" x 5 1/4"- need two,  2 1/4" x 5 1/4" – need two, 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" – need one

Stampin_up_pop_of_paradise_uneven_fold_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

I gold-heat embossed the pineapple, then hand-cut it with Paper Snips. Did you know? If you leave a little bit of card stock bordering the image it  will look much smoother and even than if you cut flush with the image and don't leave a border. The border allows your eye to ignore imperfections in the cut edge! Pretty cool!

Stampin_up_pop_of_paradise_uneven_fold_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

I stamped "happy birthday to you" from Circle of Spring with Melon Mambo ink to make it "pop" against all of the gold embossing and black I've used. I gold heat-embossed the "thinking of you" from Pop of Paradise, then cut with one of the new Sweet & Sassy Framelits.

Stampin_up_pop_of_paradise_uneven_fold_carolpaynestamps4 - Copy

I love stamping, embossing, and cutting out the flamingo, she's just so CUTE!!!! I used two sentiments from the new Love & Affection set to finish off the final card sections.

When folded, the card will easily fit inside a Medium Whisper White envelope, which has been stamped to match the card, of course!

Just 6 more sleeps until the new catalog! Haven't checked out the Retiring List yet? You can easily find it in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net
