Stampin’ Up! I Found My Dress!

Stampin’ Up! I Found My Dress!

Hey there! I don't have a new creation to post today, but I do have some good news! Some of you may not know, but my oldest son is getting married for the first time later this month. I have three daughters and three sons; all three daughters have been married for several years, but none of my sons have ever been married. Last year my oldest son, Troy, started dating a lovely girl named Grace, and they are getting married on March 23rd! Troy & Grace introduced my second son, Logan, to Grace's friend, Faith, and now Logan & Faith are getting married August 3rd! That just leaves my youngest Ben, but he still has time!

I've had three turns being the mother-of-the-bride, so I've been thinking this mother-of-the-groom gig was pretty easy, until the subject of my dress for the wedding came up. Like a lot of moms, I wanted to lose some weight before shopping, so it was this week before I felt confident enough to get into a dressing room. My oldest daughter, Jessica, went with me to advise and give a honest opinion.

Did you know that if you want to get a mother's dress from a bridal shop that it takes 3-4 months to arrive? I guess I bought my dresses for the girl's weddings off-the-rack at a department store, so I had NO idea!

I also discovered that most shops don't carry any "mother-of" dresses, because most gals think they are too "old lady" and are too expensive (for Southern Illinois, anyway) After checking with a couple of local shops and with less than 3 weeks  before the wedding, it was "back to the rack" for me! 

We headed to Dillard's, which was not too far away, and found "the dress" right away! I also found shoes and jewelry to go with it, so with just a little bit of length alteration, I'll be set! I'm so excited! I feel a little bit like a princess in this dress! I will share it with you after the wedding, so stay tuned for the week of March 25th!

We had set aside today to drive over an hour away to shop, but we decided on a whim to check out those bridal shops last night, so today is a free day to stamp! yay!

I'll be back tomorrow with a new card and instructions to share!

Stampin’ Up! Petal Promenade Teapot!

Stampin’ Up! Petal Promenade Teapot!

Hey there! Stampin' Up! added another set of Sale-a-bration freebies this month! Wow! Today's card is created with TWO new selections, Petal Promenade Designer Paper and Pearlized Doilies, as well as the Tea Time Framelits!

Stampin_up_petal_promenade_teapot_carolpaynestamps1

The Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper contains photo-realistic prints of gorgeous blooms on one side and subtle marbled designs on the other!

Stampin_up_petal_promenade_teapot_carolpaynestamps2

I used stamped-off Smoky Slate ink on the Crackle Paint background to prepare the Whisper White card stock before cutting with the Tea Time Framelit. I used Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to color the rose and the leaves. See my project supply list and downloadable stamping instructions for more about that! I added half of a Pearlized Doily below the teapot. The doilies are reversible, with the pearlized look on one side and an inkable white on the other.

Stampin_up_petal_promenade_teapot_carolpaynestamps3

I used sentiments from Life is Grand on the inside and the out.

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay!

Stampin’ Up! By the Bay!

Hey there! Today I have a simple card to share with you created with the Sale-a-bration set, By the Bay. I used the Emboss Resist Technique, one that I keep returning to often over the years.

Stampin_up_by_the_bay_carolpaynestamps1

After heat embossing the images with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, I used a Sponge Dauber to add color:

Stampin_up_by_the_bay_carolpaynestamps2

The embossed images "resist" the sponged color, hence the name Emboss Resist!

Stampin_up_by_the_bay_carolpaynestamps3

All of the images used on this quick and easy card are included in the By the Bay set.

Stampin_up_by_the_bay_carolpaynestamps5

I used Pool Party, Crumb Cake, and Soft Seafoam inks to sponge with a Sponge Dauber.

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Teapot!

Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthdays Teapot!

Hey there! Today I have another card featuring the Tea Time Framelits and Country Floral Dynamic folder, but this one is itty bitty!

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps3

This little gem stands up all by itself! After embossing the teapot-shaped front, I colored with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps4

The colored teapot front was adhered to a teapot-shaped card base cut with the same framelit.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps5

Both the outside and inside greetings are stamped with phrases from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling stamp set.

Stampin_up_itty_bitty_birthdays_carolpaynestamps7

A regular Medium envelope would swamp this dainty little gem, so I made a custom envelope from Designer Series Paper and the Envelope Punch Board.
