Stampin’ Up! So Much Happy!

Stampin’ Up! So Much Happy!

Hey there! Last night when I was starting to work on my blog post for today my computer wasn't cooperating. I use an older laptop to do most of my online stuff and I often leave it on for days at a time. I do put it to "sleep" at night, but after awhile it stops cooperating and needs to be shut down for awhile.  So I'm blogging this morning instead. You just have to be flexible with technology, right?

In my last order I receive the So Much Happy Bundle, and I've been dying to play with it. For my card today I paired it with Artistry Blooms Designer Series paper to create this bright and cheery birthday card:

Stampin_up_so_much_happy_carolpaynestamps1

The Happy dies that coordinate with the So Much Happy stamp set are my favorite feature of this bundle! I will be playing more with this one so you can see it's potential! I used the new In Color Magenta Madness for the card base and the ink.

Stampin_up_so_much_happy_carolpaynestamps4

I used the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to create the greeting label from a 1" x 3 1/2" strip of Whisper White.

Stampin_up_so_much_happy_carolpaynestamps5

I used a kissing technique to add the tiny stars to one of the solid stars. I explain this technique in the directions I am including at the bottom of this post!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Step Three!

Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Step Three!

Hey there! Today I have the third in my progressive series of Celebrate Sunflowers birthday cards. I stepped-up this one just a little bit more with another embossing folder and the Sunflower Dies!

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestamps1

I added a layer of Cinnamon Cider embossed with the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder behind the die-cut sunflower. I also added Cinnamon Cider ink to the Hammered Metal embossing with a sponge dauber. You can't really see it in the picture but I added Clear Wink of Stella to the sunflower center after I popped it up with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestamps4

I added a bow tied with Bumblebee 1/4" In Color ribbon and a Bumblebee In Color Enamel Dot.

Stampin_up_celebrate_sunflowers_carolpaynestamps6

I finished off the inside with a smaller sunflower colored with Bumblebee and Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Write Markers and cut with a Sunflower die.

Stampin’ Up! Field of Flowers Z-Fold!

Stampin’ Up! Field of Flowers Z-Fold!

Hey there! I've been MIA again! I have been recovering from a UTI that required 3 different antibiotics (turns out I'm allergic to sulfa drugs and the second one was not the right one after the culture came back) and a sonogram. They didn't find anything wrong from the sonogram, so I'm just hoping this time it will stay away!

I have done some stamping, but have been too tired to do any blogging. Today I'm sharing a z-fold card I created with the Field of Flowers Bundle.

Stampin_up_field_of_flowers_carolpaynestamps7

Yes, all of those little flowers were punched with the Confetti Flowers Border Punch, which is part of the Field of Flowers Bundle. I glued them all with liquid glue and my Take Your Pick Tool for easy placement. I punched Bumblebee, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, and Whisper White to create the jumble of wildflowers.

Stampin_up_field_of_flowers_carolpaynestamps8

All of the images and phrases are found in the Field of Flowers stamp set.

Stampin_up_field_of_flowers_carolpaynestamps9

I made the little flight trails with a retired Stampin' Up! Journaling Pen.

Stampin’ Up! Round of Applause!

Stampin’ Up! Round of Applause!

Hey there! A couple of weeks ago I was commissioned to make some graduation cards, so I used the Round of Applause stamp set and the Label Me Lovely Punch to make eight of these!

I started by stamping the Basic Gray layer with the graduation hat and "you did it" with Basic Gray ink.

Stampin_up_round_of_applause_carolpaynestamps4
After heat embossing the focal image with silver powder, I punched with the 2 1/4" Circle Punch, then punched Silver Foil with the Label Me Lovely punch. After cutting the silver label in half I adhered to the back to mat it.

Stampin_up_round_of_applause_carolpaynestamps5

All of the images and phrases are from Round of Applause.

Stampin_up_round_of_applause_carolpaynestamps6

This was my first creation with the same stamp set. I decided to upgrade it to the first one I showed you for more elegance; but this one is nice too!
