Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Stampin’ Up! Boughs & Blossoms!

Hey there! Today's card is a CASE from a Boughs & Blossoms card found on page 26 of the January/June Mini Catalog! One of my stampers wanted to know how to make it, so I made it myself so I can show it to her at our next class together. This card uses the Boughs & Blossoms stamp set, Bough Punch (as a bundle to save 10%), and white heat embossing!

I punched So Saffron, Balmy Blue, and Blushing Bride card stock and the same colors plus Pear Pizzazz designer paper with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch to create the bases for each are on the card front.

Stampin_up_boughs_&_blossoms_carolpaynestamps5

The greeting is white heat-embossed on a scrap of Pear Pizzazz, then trimmed with Paper Snips. The white leaves and blooms are punched with the Bough punch and then added to the card with Mini Glue Dots.

Other images from Boughs & Blossoms are white heat-embossed on the various subtle card stock colors.

Inside is all stamped with more Boughs & Blossoms images.

Stampin’ Up! Whirling Sails!

Hey there! Today's card is created with the Give It A Whirl dies, Let's Set Sail Bundle, and the Gentle Waves Background stamp. I love seeing what I can fit into the window cut with the Give It A Whirl dies!

Stampin_up_gentle_waves_lets_set_sail_carolpaynestamps2

I split this greeting from Let's Set Sail into three parts so it could be read as you turn the dial on the card!

 I highlighted the words with Silver Foil stars, cut with a die from the Give It A Whirl set.

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Stampin’ Up! Free As A Bird in Eden!

Hey there! Today's card was created simply for fun, and I love how it turned out! I combined three stamp sets: Free As a Bird, Garden Birdhouses, and Eden's Garden Bundle to come up with this earthy but spring-like card!

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps3

After I adhered a layer of In Good Taste Designer Paper to the Crumb Cake card base, I then cut Soft Succulent Designer Paper with an Eden die and added it with tiny dots of liquid glue. I then used a Blending Brush to apply Crumb Cake ink over both layers to give it an aged, vintage look. I stamped the birds on the branch from Free As A Bird (I love those birdies and this set, I have my fingers crossed that it doesn't retire from the catalog next week!) with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, then singled out just one birdie to color with Stampin' Blends Markers. I cut him out with Paper Snips and darkened his eye with the fine tip of a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker before adhering him above the birdhouse with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I created the "sticks bow" by wrapping Linen Thread loosely around about three fingers a couple of times, tied in a bow, then cut the loops apart. I adhered below the bird with a couple of glue dots.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped the birdhouse from Garden Birdhouses with Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake, cut with my snips, and then colored with Naturals Stampin' Blends. It was also adhered with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps6

I cut Soft Suede card stock with the label from the Eden dies, then stamped and heat embossed the Eden's Garden greeting with white embossing powder. I added a few Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots (carried over from the Holiday Mini) to pull it all together.

Stampin_up_free_as_a_bird_carolpaynestamps7

Inside I stamped a Free As a Bird sentiment on In Good Taste designer paper with Soft Suede ink before adhering. I cut a bit more Soft Suede designer paper with another Eden Die to add below the sentiment with liquid glue. I finished off the inside with more Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush.

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden True Friend!

Hey there! Today's card is green, but it isn't St. Patrick's Day green. I don't have to worry about being pinched today whether I wear green or not as I will be staying home all day with Fiona! lol!

I decided to play around with the alcohol marker/alcohol technique a little bit to try and replicate a card I found on Pinterest. The person who uploaded it didn't have any directions, as I don't believe it was their card anyway, so I just winged it. My card doesn't look much like the inspiration piece, but that's ok!

I started with a layer of 4" x 5 1/4" Very Vanilla. I stamped the flower stems one at a time, sprinkled with gold embossing powder, and then heated before I stamped the next flower so I could place them where I wanted. Then I stamped the greeting and the dragonflies (which also sort of look like butterflies). I used images from both the Dragonfly Garden and Garden Wishes stamp sets. Next I scribbled color on the flower heads and the dragonflies with a Dark Magenta Madness Stampin' Blends Alcohol Marker. I then used a watercolor brush to dab 91% Rubbing Alcohol on each bloom to cause the color to pool and spread. 91% alcohol dries pretty quickly, so I was then able to color around and over the gold embossed stems and background with a Light Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends marker.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_garden_carolpaynestamps1

My next step was to dab tiny dots of liquid glue over the layer. I let it set to dry tacky for a few  minutes, then pressed Gilded Leafing onto the card front. I then used a dry brush to flick away the leafing that was not stuck to the glue.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_garden_carolpaynestamps2

I tied Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon around the card, tying in a simple knot.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_garden_carolpaynestamps3

I really love how the Dark Magenta Madness pops against the muted Soft Succulent color.

Stampin_up_dragonfly_garden_carolpaynestamps4

I added a Dragonfly Garden sentiment and a few more flowers stems inside with gold heat embossing.

My next step was to dab tiny dots of liquid glue over the layer. I let it set to dry tacky for a few  minutes, then pressed Gilded Leafing onto the card front. I then used a dry brush to flick away the leafing that was not stuck to the glue.

I tied Gold 3/8" Fine Art Ribbon around the card, tying in a simple knot.

I really love how the Dark Magenta Madness pops against the muted Soft Succulent color.

I added a Dragonfly Garden sentiment and a few more flowers stems inside with gold heat embossing.

Stampin’ Up! Everything In Stock for the Stamper’s Dozen!

Stampin’ Up! Everything In Stock for the Stamper’s Dozen!

Hey there and welcome to the March Stampers Dozen Blog Hop!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

Our March theme is "Everything in Stock!", which means everything we use on our projects must be available to order. This can be tricky, because Stampin' Up! recently had to change their back order policy to "no back orders, period". Due to the global supply chain issues I'm sure you are aware of, it was just not cost effective to continue to let the back order list to grow. Instead of raising shipping prices, Stampin' Up! elected to turn off back ordering, possibly permanently. Many products will come back in stock within a few weeks, but until then they are un-orderable.

So our job today is to show you projects made with supplies that can be ordered today. I've been consulting the "Inventory Status Report" Stampin' Up! updates daily so I can create my project with all available supplies! I decided to use the Flowering Rain Boots Bundle to create my project with a new (to me) fold called the "Fold Back Pop-Up"!

I used the color combo of Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, and Real Red to coordinate with the Flowering Fields Designer paper. I added Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle.

I stamped and cut the tulips with the Rain Boots dies.

I used a sentiment from Hello Beautiful for the center fold.

Inside I used a sentiment from Flowering Rain Boots and the rest of the tulips and stems.

I stamped the flower pot with Crumb Cake and cut the garden rake from silver foil with a Rain Boots die.
