Stampin’ Up! Count My Blessings with Fun Foam!

Posted on October 17, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been re-visiting another oldie-but-goodie-technique, Heat Stamping on Fun Foam!

How do you heat stamp? What is Fun Foam?

First, Fun Foam is a spongy sheet 1/8" – 1/4" thick found at craft stores. I bought a beige 12" x 18" sheet for 89 cents! I can cut a bunch of squares, rectangles, and strips!

To heat stamp on fun foam: Heat with your Heat Tool until the foam gets a little wet-looking and starts to curl. This doesn't take very long! As soon as the foam is heated, press an inked red-rubber stamp into the foam. Hold in place for a few seconds. Remove and voila! You have heat stamped the Fun Foam!

NOTE: Red-rubber stamps work best because they are more deeply-etched than photopolymer.

For my card I started with an Early Espresso card base, then added a Crumb Cake layer embossed with the Pinewood Plank Dynamic Folder inked with Crumb Cake. I added strips of Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper, than the Fun Foam square I had cut with a Stitched Shapes Framelit, heated with the Heat Tool and stamped with a Count My Blessings image inked with Early Espresso. I sponged the edges with Early Espresso before adhering to the card with a Stampin' Dimensionals in each corner.

I stamped a Butterfly Basics greeting and finished with a single Gold Faceted Gem.

I stamped inside with a Count My Blessings sentiment, stamped-off acorns, and Early Espresso sponging. I covered the Very Vanilla envelope flap with the fabulous acorn pattern from the Painted Harvest Designer Series Paper!

Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest CCREW1017SIP Simple!

Posted on October 4, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Another one of the October Creative Crew Challenges over on Splitcoaststampers is to create a CAS (Clean and Simple) card using the theme (Comfy & Cozy) and the Color Challenge (Chocolate Chip, Tangerine Tango, and Tranquil Tide). As you probably already figured out, I'm really loving the Painted Harvest Bundle (stamps and punch), so I decided to use it to create my CAS card!

After embossing a layer of Chocolate Chip to adhere to the card front, I stamped the Painted Harvest bloom with Tangerine Tango on Whisper White, cut it out with a smooth Layering Circles Framelit, and then added a Tangerine Tango mat behind it that I cut with a scalloped Layering Circles Framelit. I stamped the center with stamped-off Early Espresso, and then stamped the greeting with full-strength Early Espresso. The layers are adhered to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added a Gold Faceted Gem to the center for some sparkle. I stamped the lined leaf from Painted Harvest with Tranquil Tide on Whisper White, then punched with the Leaf Punch. I adhered behind the layers with a glue dot.

Inside I stamped the Tangerine Tango bloom again, stamped the center with stamped-off Early Espresso, and added another Tranquil Tide-stamped leaf. I then stamped the Butterfly Basics sentiment with Early Espresso.

Be sure to stop by again tomorrow to see the stepped-up version of this card!

Stampin Up! Sunday Swap Day September 3!

Posted on September 3, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Since it's Sunday, I am taking a break today from the Creative Crew Challenges with a Fall theme to share with you another stack of swaps!

First, Amy Combs used Beautiful Bouquet with Petal Garden Designer Paper and the Garden Trellis embossing folder for her warm-but-elegant card:

Next, Raedean Shibata used the corner of her inkpads (Wild Wasabi and Pear Pizzazz?) to drag across the white layer to create a unique background for the So Many Shells greeting she cut with a Stitched Shapes oval framelit. The Night of Navy 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding sets off the Night of Navy stamped greeting, as well as the Night of Navy mat layer cut with a Lots of Labels Framelit.

Sheila Roberts used the Coffee Cafe' Bundle, Coffee Break Designer Paper, and a clear Window Sheet for her creation. The "happy birthday" is from Rose Wonder and "celebrate" is from Thoughtful Banners.

Cheryl Noble used Lots of Love for her creation.

The "consider yourself hugged" circle is the end of a ribbon bookmark!

Finally, Linda Harris used the You Move Me Bundle to create her "bridge" card. I HAVE to try this fold soon!

Here's a brief supply list for today's cards. You can order all of the supplies from my online store: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, August Edition, Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there and welcome to the August edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! We have been a fewer than a dozen for a few months as some of our members have made changes to their business model and excused themselves from the hop, but this month we are welcoming TWO new members, bringing our number of hoppers back up to the full dozen! yay!

Our theme this month is "Holiday Catalog Sneak Peeks", so sit back, relax, and get ready to be "WOW'd"!

If you have placed an order with me in the past year, the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog should be arriving in your mailbox very soon! If you don't receive a copy from me and would like to receive one so you can get started making your Wish List, then leave me a comment or message me and I'll get one in the mail to you in a jiffy!

For my project I chose to use a Holiday Catalog set that does not come bundled with framelits or a punch (I know, gasp!) There are plenty of great sets you can choose from that don't require an extra apparatus to make beautiful cards. I chose Season Like Christmas and paired it with a new embossing folder, the Winter Wonder Textured Impressions folder. Although I love this card with the embossed snowflake, it would be a gorgeous card without it!

I created two versions, first a very simple one with just stamping twice with Old Olive ink without re-inking in between stamping and then embossing with the Winter Wonder Folder. This one allows the embossed snowflake to shine!

I also created a slightly stepped-up version with three stamped trees (stamped all three time with only inking the stamp with Old Olive once) and the addition of a Hearts & Stars Element:

Both have the same inside, stamped with Season Like Christmas images and Old Olive and Basic Black ink.

Season Like Christmas and the Winter Wonder folder will be available to order on September 1st when the Holiday Catalog goes live.

Which version of this card do you like best?

Now it's time to move along to the next hopper to see what Judy Garza has created!

Or hop back to Laura Milligan's blog to see her lovely creation!

If you don't have your own Stampin Up! demonstrator, you can go to my online store to order: http://bit.ly/shopwithCarolPayneStamps

That's all for now, until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! International Blog Highlights: Babies!

Posted on June 13, 2017 by Carol Payne

Hey there! The theme this month is babies, and A Little Wild, and the matching (and bundled) Little Loves Framelits were perfect to create a trio of fun baby bear-themed projects!

For my first project I used the Wood Textures Designer Paper to achieve a knot-hole look for the baby bear to peek out!

I cut the hole with a Layering Ovals Framelit, and the bumblebees with a Little Loves framelit, cutting three bees at the same time!

A Little Wild greeeting:

Bees & a hive!

Inside:

The bundle includes the front and back of the bear to stamp as well as a framelit to cut it out.

I used the Scallop Tag Topper punch to create a tag. Birthday Memories Designer Paper created a great background. The ribbon is Gold 1/4" Natural Trim.

After stamping and cutting the front and the back of the baby bear, all I had to do was fold to create a tag!

I stamped and white heat-embossed the bear and the greeting. I stamped another greeting on the tag with Soft Suede before embossing with the Hexagons Dynamic Folder.

The inside sentiment is from a new favorite set, Special Celebrations.

My final project is a favor I created with the Wood Crate Framelits, the Hardwood Background, the new Starburst punch, and a baby bear tag!

The "to:" and "from:" are included in the A Little Wild set, making it extremely versatile for gift tags as well as cards, favors, and invitations.

Now here's the thing. With this blog post I'm in a contest. I would appreciate if you would vote for my projects by clicking this link and voting for me:http://bit.ly/KyliesJuneHighlightsVoteforMeHere
