Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Stained Glass Vellum!

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! While I was playing with the stained glass technique and the Ornate Style stamp set, I created a second card. This one is Smoky Slate with the Buffalo Check background heat-embossed with white and the floral spray is cut out with an Ornate Layers die.

I colored all of the embossed blooms on the backside of the vellum, using both color tones in the Stampin' Blends Combo packs!

I just want you to see the gorgeous detail of this frame cut with an Ornate Layers die! I ran it through my die cutting machine once cutting-side down, then flipped it to cutting-side up and ran it back and forth again. After I rolled the die brush over it most of the pieces fell out, leaving only a few to finish poking with the paper-piercing end of the Take Your Pick tool.

I used a combination of sentiments from Positive Thoughts and Ornate Thanks, then stamped part of the floral spray with Petal Pink ink.

Stampin’ Up! Positive Thoughts Triple Time One More Time!

Posted on April 8, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have one more triple time stamping creation for you and then I'm ready to move on! I've had a blast playing with this technique, so I decided to create one last card using my current favorite stamp set, Positive Thoughts! I used Merry Merlot, Rococo Rose, and Pool Party to stamp on the Very Vanilla layers:

This card stamped up fast! After I layered all three vanilla layers together, I simply stamped, stamped, stamped! I then adhered each layer to its' corresponding mat layer, and put it all together!

After stamping the greeting from Positive Thoughts I stamped the bloom behind it with stamped-off-once Rococo Rose. I punched it with the Label Me Fancy Punch and added a Melon Mambo Noble Peacock Rhinestone, which coordinated with all of the pink shades going on this card very well. I added a piece of Rococo Rose 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon under the greeting and added a mat layer under the greeting that is actually Merry Merlot punched with the Label Me Fancy punch and then cut in half to "stretch" it.

Inside I framed the sentiment with more blooms using stamped-off Rococo Rose ink.

Here’s the pdf tutorial for you!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Garden Triple Time Friend!

Posted on April 7, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Like I said before, right now I am exploring the many ways to use the Triple Time stamping/layering technique! Today I used Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper instead of stamping to create a quick-but-impressive card!

Instead of stamping I used Ornate Garden Specialty Designer paper for the layers.

I cut the tiny butterfly from Rococo Rose card stock using a Nature's Thoughts die. These dies were available last month during Sale-a-bration. They currently are on hold till the start of the new 2020/21 Annual Catalog in June. I added Clear Wink of Stella to both butterflies for a bit of shimmer.

I cut "friend" from Basic Black card stock using a Word Wishes die.

The inside sentiment is my favorite right now! I inked the Positive Thoughts butterfly with Rococo Rose ink first, then tapped the edges on a Merry Merlot inkpad for depth of color.

I stamped the butterflies again and again without re-inking to get some really pretty pink shades!

Stampin’ Up! Ornate Style Triple Time Spotlight!

Posted on April 6, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Sometimes I get hooked on a certain fold, technique, or color palette and keep playing with it. Right now I am hooked on the Triple Time technique! I love the look, and once you have the dimensions in your head it's easy to see it for so many stamps!

Today's project is stamped with Ornate Style using both Triple Time stamping and a Spotlighting technique:

I stamped the floral spray from Ornate Garden with Early Espresso on the Very Vanilla layers, then stamped the single daisy around the edges. I colored the center layer with Stampin' Blends: Dark Daffodil Delight, Dark Balmy Blue, Light Old Olive, and Bronze in the daisy centers (think for this card they are Black-eyed Susans?) I only colored the top layer so the color would "pop" and be spotlighted when the card is finished. I added a bow of Gold Metallic Edge ribbon, and sponged all of the So Saffron edges with Early Espresso ink.

I added a Gilded Gem in the lower middle corner.

Inside I used "Friends like you mean more every year" from Positive Thoughts, and "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" from Well Said. I stamped the envelope flap and a bit of the front with the single daisy and sponged all of the edges with Early Espresso.

Here’s the pdf tutorial for you!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Posted on March 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! After a long absence, today I'm bringing back Sunday Swap Day! Let's jump right in!

First, Timeless Tulips by Karen Davis. The sentiment and designer paper is from Peaceful Moments.

Next, Judi Anderson combined Buffalo Check with Timeless Tulips:

Ruth Bingle also used Timeless Tulips to create her easel card with the Basket Weave 3D folder and Story Label Punch.

I love this one with Positive Thoughts, Nature's Thoughts Dies, and Birthday Bonanza Designer, but there's no name!

NOTE: The Positive Thoughts stamp set is available through June 2nd, but Nature's Thoughts Dies are retiring after March 31st.

Finally, Sacha Wilson used Birthday Bonanza Designer Paper with the So Sentimental Bundle for a fun birthday card!

How are you all holding up during this "shelter in place" thing? I hope you're safe, healthy, and finding time to craft. Stamping is such great therapy for me. If I'm anxious about anything, first I pray, then I lose myself in a project! A great combination.
