Stampin’ Up! Framed Butterfly!

Stampin’ Up! Framed Butterfly!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I just want to take a moment this morning to say God is GOOD! He's good all the time, no matter what is going on in my life, but we just received some great news about my husband's health. For a few weeks I have been under a cloud of worry because of a diagnosis of melanoma from a mole removed from his chin. He's a farmer and son of a farmer, so he had lots of sun exposure before it was widely known to use sunscreen. He had more incised a week and a half ago, and today he had the 10 stitches out and got a clear pathology report, which is why we are thanking God. The melanoma type was "insitu", which means it was limited to the top layer of skin, but the doctor told us there could still be a 2% chance that it could have moved deeper. He has to go back in three months and probably be checked regularly for a long time. We are thankful for God's provision and will be using sunscreen all the time from now on!

Today I have a cheery card for my April Online Class. I used Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits, Butterflies Thinlets, and Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_a_dozen_thoughts_butterfly_carolpaynestamps1 - Copy

I stamped "better get better" (guess that theme HAS been on my mind a lot lately) with Island Indigo ink.

Stampin_up_a_dozen_thoughts_butterfly_carolpaynestamps2 - Copy

I added a ribbon bow of Pool Party 3/8" Glitter Ribbon for some sparkle.

Stampin_up_fabulous_four_carolpaynestamps3 - Copy

This sentiment from Fabulous Four coordinated perfectly for the inside. I cut another butterfly to use a a stencil to sponge with Pool Party ink.

Stampin’ Up! A Round Array Meets This Day!

Stampin’ Up! A Round Array Meets This Day!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! I decided to play with the layout I used for yesterday's card again, but had to throw several attempts in the trash (yes, I do make icky cards sometimes!) I kept trying to use a daisy theme with the layout and kept coming up with nothing I was happy with. Ever have one of those days?

I think the problem was I was trying so hard I wasn't paying attention to a solution that was right under my nose!

The solution was the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection, a freebie with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure. I had chosen this collection with one of my orders, then promptly ignored how CUTE this pack of cards is!

I opened the pack, and In just a few minutes my card was born!

Stampin_up_a_round_array_1 - Copy

By cutting down the cards in the collection and using several of the coordinating patterns, this card finally went together in a snap!

Stampin_up_a_round_array_2 - Copy

I added a bloom created with the Bouquet Bigz L Die, and a 7/8" Scalloped Circle-punched greeting from A Round Array. After I glue-dotted the Coastal Cabana and Island Indigo blooms together, I scored down the center of each petal with the stylus from the Simply Scored Scoring Board and gently pinched/folded the edges of the petals. Surprisingly, Stampin' Up! doesn't offer a 5/8" Circle Punch, which is the size I needed to punch out the "you make me smile" from A Round Array, so I hand-cut it with Paper Snips.

Stampin_up_a_round_array_3 - Copy

Inside I used a sentiment from Feel Goods with Island Indigo ink, accented with a stamp from the Mixed Bunch set and Crushed Curry ink. The 1/2" wide strip on the left side of the Whisper White panel is also from the This Day Project Life Mini Card Collection.

That's all for now. This card was SUPER EASY once I stopped trying so hard!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch for the 4th!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Hey there! Happy 4th of July! I'm having one of the most hectic (and fun!) summers in a long time, which isn't leaving much time for blogging. I actually got up at 5:30 a.m. just  to post this, and if you know me at all you know I DON'T DO EARLY very well! LOTS going on at my house, all good, which means this summer is whizzing by, and by looking at my calendar, I don't think it's going to slow down.I leave for the Stampin' Up! Inspire, Create, Share Convention in less than two weeks, then a quick family vacation to French Lick, Indiana, then keeping my grandson, Jaxon, for a few days. Add in Punch & Technique Class, Christmas in July Classes, a handful of hostess stamping parties and July is completely BOOKED!

I created this card a few weeks ago using my new Flower Patch stamp set:

Stampin_up_flower_patch_1 - Copy

I was going for a fireworks-Fourth-of-July effect. What do you think?

The "celebration" image is from the Project Life Remember This set.

Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight, and Real Red inks stamped on Whisper White.

Stampin_up_flower_patch_2 - Copy

After stamping and assembling I added a thin layer of clear Dazzling Details. It takes several minutes for this sparkly glue to dry so leave it laying flat.

Stampin_up_flower_patch_3 - Copy

Inside is a sentiment from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit inked with Stampin' Write Markers.

That's all for now. Low-key plans today. I will be stamping and my hubby will be farming, but we are continually thankful for our freedoms to decide how to spend our days!

Here's a supply list for my Online Store:
