Stampin’ Up! Dry Watercolor Blossoming Basket!

Stampin’ Up! Dry Watercolor Blossoming Basket!

Hey there! Today's card was created with the Sale-a-bration Blossoming Basket set and the "dry watercolor" technique!

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps1

 As I've mentioned before, although I love to stamp and love to color, I've always felt intimidated by watercoloring. I've never felt trained, and certainly not skilled with brushes and water. However, just as the Stampin' Blends alcohol Markers have helped me get over my  alcohol marker fears, the "dry watercolor" technique has helped me take another step into the world of watercolor artistry!

 After heat embossing the basket with white powder, I then colored the blooms and leaves with the white watercolor pencil. This lays down a layer of white between the Crumb Cake card stock and the colors I want to add.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps5

 I used Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Early Espresso to color the blooms, basket, and leaves.

 I tied Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim in a bow and white heat-embossed just the "you" from "you are loved". I sponged the Crumb Cake edges with Crumb Cake ink for more of a vintage feel.

 Inside I stamped the entire Blossoming Basket sentiment with Crumb Cake ink.

Hey there and welcome to the February edition of the Stampin' Up! Alaska Achievers Monthly Blog Hop! Our theme this month is Sale-a-bration and Occasions Catalogs, so I'm sure you'll see something to inspire!

I created my project for a stamp class last week with the Hold on to Hope Bundle from the Occasions Catalog!

Stampin_up_hold_on_to_hope_carolpaynestamps1

 I used a Whisper White Notecard and Envelope along with Marina Mist, Shimmery White, and Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper. I adhered a Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the glimmer paper before cutting with the Cross of Hope Framelit Die to make it easy to adhere the cross to the card.

 The banner die is included in the Cross of Hope Framelits.

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket Bundle!

Stampin’ Up! Blossoming Basket Bundle!

Hey there! The Blossoming Basket Bundle is free with a $100 order (before tax & shipping). Although that sounds like a lot, it's a gorgeous set of products and totally worth it!

I started with a Very Vanilla Note Card and matching envelope. You get 20 of each per pack.

Stampin_up_ blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps1

The Note Cards are 5" x 3 1/2", so I embossed a 4 7/8" x 3 3/8" piece of Crumb Cake with the Basket Weave Dynamic folder inked with Crumb Cake. I sponged everything with Crumb Cake ink.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps4

I stamped the image with Crumb Cake, then used Stampin' Blends Markers in Pink Pirouette, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, and Crumb Cake to color. I used the Color Lifter on the berried branches and on the ground under the basket to lighten.

Stampin_up_blossoming_basket_carolpaynestamps2

The Stampin' Blends Markers really do make you look and feel like an artist! I have always felt inadequate as a watercolorist, but it's so easy to blend the colors with Stampin' Blends!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Peacock!

Stampin’ Up! Beautiful Peacock!

Hey there! Late posting today, but I'm happy to say I have finally finished my taxes! yay! We are farmers, so we have to have ours done by March 1st!

The card I'm sharing today I created for a hostess last week. She requested a  card with the Beautiful Peacock Sale-a-bration set, so this is what I created with the Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper and Eastern Medallions Thinlets Dies:

Stampin_up_beautiful_peacock_carolpaynestamps1

I hand-cut the peacock wing, and punched the  tiny circles with a 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch.

Stampin_up_beautiful_peacock_carolpaynestamps3

I cut out the  peacock with both an Eastern Medallion Thinlet and a Layering Circle Framelit.

Stampin_up_beautiful_peacock_carolpaynestamps5

The Beautiful Peacock greeting fits nicely into the Classic Label Punch.

Stampin_up_beautiful_peacock_carolpaynestamps4

Pretty flourishes, stamped with Lemon Lime Twist, and a pretty sentiment, all from Beautiful Peacock.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day February 25th!

Hey there! Today is Sunday, so it's time to share some swaps!

First, Carol Slack used the Occasions Catalog set, Flying Home for her card. She colored it beautifully with Stampin' Blends Markers and used the Bridge Fold. Perfect!

Stampin_up_flying_home_carolpaynestamps1

On the back side she used a sentiment from Special Celebrations, so sweet!

Next, Rhonda Bassler used Frienship's Sweetest Thoughts, another Occasions Catalog set, with the Brushstrokes Background for her adorable slider card.

The sentiment is also from Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts!

Finally, Cathy Miller combined Picture Perfect Birthday, Picture Perfect Party 6" x 6" Designer Paper, and Peekaboo Peach 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding for her cute creation! She hand-cut the party blowers with Paper Snips and embossed the Bermuda Bay background with the Simple Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brusho!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brusho!

Hey there! Today I'm going to share with you a card that in the past I might have thrown in the trash because it didn't turn out as planned,  but I think you'll see why I decided to share it anyway.

I wanted to try the Brusho "spritz" technique of sprinkling the crystals on the paper and then spritzing with water, which is a completely different look than when you paint with Brusho.

I stamped the butterfly on Shimmery White paper with Tangerine Tango ink and the Picture Perfect Birthday greeting with Memento Tuxedo Black. I sprinkled both Yellow and Gamboge Brusho Crystal Colour on the paper and then spritzed with water.

Stampin_up_brusho_butterfly_carolpaynestamps1

The Brusho exploded into these brilliant colors, which was expected. What I didn't expect was how it overpowered the stamped image!

Stampin_up_brusho_butterfly_carolpaynestamps2

And it also made the greeting smear a little, but you know, overall I like the look!

Stampin_up_brusho_butterfly_carolpaynestamps3

Inside is a prim and proper contrast without Brusho.

Stampin_up_brusho_butterfly_carolpaynestamps4

Can you see why I couldn't throw this creation away? I'm kind of lovin' it!
