Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day May 15th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day May 15th!

Hey there! I've been missing much of this past week, trying to keep up with all of my daughters' needs, as well as grandchildren starting summer sports games and end-of-school activities. Seems like I had girls to babysit, track meets, or school concerts just about every day, not to mention my farmer hubby is busy in the field this week since it finally stopped raining for  few days!

I did do some fun new catalog card swapping last month, so I have lots of fresh ideas to share with you, starting with the Sweet Songbirds Bundle!

This first Sweet Songbirds card was created by Laura Milligan. She used two of the Stitched With Whimsy Dies to add such adorable interest to her card front layers!

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_carolpaynestamps1

Next, Judi Anderson used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set and punch with Fresh Freesia and Hues of Happiness Designer Paper to create a sweet "note of thanks"!

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_carolpaynestamps2

Barb Mullikin used the new Tahitian Tide ink with pops of Pacific Point to create her pretty birdie card.

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_carolpaynestamps3

Another Sweet Songbirds Bundle card by Judi Anderson that also uses the Double Oval Punch, Mango Melody, and the new In Colors Sweet Sorbet and Parakeet Party!

Stampin_up_sweet_songbirds_carolpaynestamps4

Gail Connelly used the only-available-Hosts (or with an order of at least $150) Sit, Stay, Relax stamp set. She also used two prints from the Host-only Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper Pack.

Stampin_up_sit_stay_relax_carolpaynestamps1

She used two Stylish Shapes dies to create the picture frame:

Stampin_up_sit_stay_relax_carolpaynestamps3

And applied a "puddle" of Fine Tip Glue for the water spilling from the vase.

Stampin_up_sit_stay_relax_carolpaynestamps2

The final card I'm sharing today is also with the Sit, Stay, Relax Host-only stamp set, created by Sacha Wilson. Sacha used the new Dots & Spots die for the Starry Sky background layer and a new Fabulous Frames die for the focal image mat layer.

Stampin’ Up! Hues of Happiness Abounds!

Stampin’ Up! Hues of Happiness Abounds!

Hey there! Today I have a girly birthday card created with the Happiness Abounds bundle and the Hues of Happiness Designer Paper!

Stampin_up_happiness_abounds_carolpaynestamps1

I started with a Coastal Cabana card base, then added a Basic White layer stamped with the Happiness Abound birthday greeting, cut with a Blooming Happiness die, and then embossed with the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder!

Stampin_up_happiness_abounds_carolpaynestamps2

I then added flowers and leaves cut from the sheet of Hues of Happiness Designer Paper that coordinates with the Blooming Happiness dies! So easy to cut out. I finished the card front with White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon and a few Iridescent Rhinestones.

Stampin_up_happiness_abounds_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped another Happiness Abounds sentiment with Tuxedo Black ink. I added a few more partial blooms rescued from the edge of the Hues of Happiness designer paper sheet. My final addition was a tiny bloom and leaf hand-cut from the same sheet of Hues of Happiness paper and added with a tiny dot of liquid glue.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Monday!

Hey there! I was too busy during this crazy weekend to have any time to post! We had a yard sale on Saturday, and then all the family here for Mother's Day, so today  is my first chance to sit down with my computer at all.

Today I'm sharing what I planned to share for Sunday Swap Day, a collection of cards featuring the Bottled Happiness bundle.

First a Blackberry Bliss/Basic White, Highland Heather/Pear Pizzazz color combo by Tara Scyoc. She used Paper Snips to cut out the bouquet of flowers before popping up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps1

Tara used a Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Write Marker to highlight the Whimsy die design, as well as a couple of Stylish Shapes dies to cut the greeting and the banner behind it.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps2

Next, Kathy Morgan used Orchid Oasis and Granny Apple Green along with a Scalloped Contours Die and the Double Oval Punch.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps3

The photopolymer (clear) stamps in the Bottled Happiness set allow the Orchid Oasis blooms to be stamped first, then the Granny Apple Green leaves and centers line up perfectly for the second stamping!

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps4

Both of the greetings on this card are from the Pansy Patch stamp set!

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps5

Next, Barb Mullkin paired Parakeet Party with Orchid Oasis for her bright and cheery card. She scored the front layer with the Simply Scored Scoring Board, cut the focal image with a Stylish Shapes Die, and added a bow tied from Orchid Oasis 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps6

Janine Pohlmann used Tahitian Tide, Basic Black, Basic White, Parakeet Party, and Polished Pink for her Bottled Happiness card.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps7

The tiny "I miss you" is from the Cup of Tea Bundle, as well as the stamped tag outline and the die to cut it with. She added a Crumb Cake Baker's Twine bow.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps8

Finally, Sacha Wilson created a masculine card with Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, and He's the Man Designer Series Paper.

Stampin_up_bottled_happiness_carolpaynestamps9

I currently don't own this bundle of stamps/punch, but after scrutinizing these lovely cards, I think it is going on my next order, how about you?

Stampin’ Up! A Stack of Teacups!

Stampin’ Up! A Stack of Teacups!

Hey there! I wanted to play with the Tea Boutique Suite Collection again, so I created this card using one of the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes as the base:

Stampin_up_cup_of_tea_carolpaynestamps1

I cut different patterns of Tea Boutique Designer paper with one of the Tea Cup dies, then stacked them up! My favorite cup print is the one on the bottom!

Stampin_up_cup_of_tea_carolpaynestamps2

I stamped the Cup of Tea sentiment with Starry Sky ink and cut it out with a die from the Sending Smiles bundle. I stamped a bloom with Petal Pink ink, cut with a Teacup Die, and then added Garden Green and Parakeet Party leaves cut with more Teacup Dies. I added a single Sweet Sorbet 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dot to the center. Each color of dots comes in two sizes.

Stampin_up_cup_of_tea_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped more Petal Pink blooms and then stamped leaves with Parakeet Party ink. The sentiment, stamped with Starry Sky, is also found in the Cup of Tea stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints to Kick off the New Catalog!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints to Kick off the New Catalog!

Hey there! The Stampin' Up! New Annual Catalog launched this morning! I will leave a link to the catalog at the bottom of this post for your enjoyment!

Today I have one more card created with the Nature's Prints Bundle of stamps and dies, as well as the new Fern 3D embossing folder! I used a monochromatic color combo of Gray Granite and Basic White.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps1

I rubbed the Gray Granite ink pad on the inside of the Fern 3D embossing folder before I inserted the 4" x 5 1/4" Gray Granite layer so the fern design would pop! I also added Clear Wink of Stella to the focal image after stamping and cutting with a Nature's Prints die.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps2

The "Hello there" sentiment from Nature's Prints is just the perfect size to tuck into so many small spaces on your card. After assembling my card front I accented with a few Elegant Faceted Gems.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps3

Inside I stamped another Nature's Prints sentiment, as well as a few more bits of foliage with Gray Granite ink.

Stampin_up_fern_3D_embossing_natures_prints_carolpaynestamps5

To create a darker Gray Granite inside mat layer I dragged my ink pad directly on the Gray Granite card stock to give it a darker shade! You can do this with almost all of our card stock and ink pad colors!

Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Prints Faux Bleach!

Hey there! Today's card has been rolling around in my head ever since I first saw the Sun Prints Suite in the new Annual Catalog. Several of the Nature's Prints Designer Paper pages look like bleached paper. I know they are called "Sun Prints" because of the similarity (and knowing Stampin' Up! they probably used the real deal!) to the light-sensitive paper used to create "sun prints" of leaves, flowers, shells, etc. I somehow missed that craze growing up, but some of my team members who are just 10 years younger than me have spoken fondly of playing with this technique in art class in Junior High.

Here's my creation with the "faux bleach" technique:

To achieve the faux bleach look without using bleach, I simply inked my image with white craft ink, stamped on the Night of Navy card stock, and let it air dry.

To stamp the greeting from Nature's Prints I stamped with white craft ink then sprinkled with white embossing powder and heated with my heat tool. I then cut with a Nature's Prints label die. I wrapped the "faux bleach layer with Starry Sky 1/8" Metallic Woven Ribbon, and added a pearl-y Elegant Faceted Gem. I cut another label with the same die from white card stock, cut it in half lengthwise, and the added it evenly to the back of the greeting label before adding it and the focal image layer to the layer of Sun Prints designer paper I had already added to the card front.

I love the little beveled line all around the die-cut label! Gives it such a finished, polished look!

Inside I stamped everything, including the sentiment from Happiness Abounds, with Night of Navy ink.

I hope you like my "faux bleach" card. I hope to get a chance to do some real bleach stamping soon!
