Stampin’ Up! Charming Sentiments Baby Card!

Posted on December 9, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I want to share with you the card I created for the gifts I gave to my daughter-in-law, Faith, at the baby shower I helped give for baby Wesley.

I found some adorable paper at Hobby Lobby to wrap the gifts, then looked through my stamps and dies to see what I had to coordinate. I decided to use the Enchanting Details Dies and Charming Sentiments stamps to create my card.

I started with a card base of Basic Gray, then added a 5 3/8" x 4 1/8
layer of Mango Melody. Before I added the 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Smoky Slate I used a Blending Brush to softly swirl Basic Gray around the edges. I then added the garland die-cut from Balmy Blue card stock, the moon & stars die-cut from Mango Melody, and the Cloud punched from Basic White. I used a Black Stampin' Write Marker to add the faux stitching around the cloud and the sleepy face. To make adhering all of the die-cuts easier, I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the card stock before die-cutting.

Before adhering the moon & stars I sponged the edges with Mango Melody ink. I used the same Basic Black marker to add another sleeping profile face and a q-tip to softly add a bit of cheek color with Polished Pink ink.

I stamped the greeting from Charming Sentiments with Basic Gray ink. I added a single Heart Pearl to finish off the front.

I stamped another sentiment from Charming Sentiments on the inside and used the moon & stars die to cut a stencil to sponge the shapes on the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Christmas Barn Bay Window!

Posted on December 7, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again! After a few more crazy weeks, I'm hoping things are settling down to just normal Christmas Crazy. I have the last craft fair of the year out of the way and no more stamping classes scheduled until January, so now I just need to finish my Christmas shopping, wrap, decorate, and cook! Not too much to do at all! lol!

Today I want to share with you a card I created for my November Christmas Card Class with the Christmas Barn Bundle. I used a fun-fold called the Bay Window Fold.

I stamped the barn with Soft Suede ink on Basic White, cut with the coordinating Bar die, then colored with a Light Real Red Stampin' Blends marker. After coloring I then used the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter on the red to lighten the color to give the barn more of a weathered look. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the roof and the ground for some subtle sparkle. I adhered the barn to a rectangle of Snowy White Velvet card stock to continue the snowy look.e

I stamped the wreath and the trees with Bermuda Bay ink on Snow White Velvet, (discounted on the Last Chance Retiring List) then cut with the coordinating Barn Dies. I added them to the scene with mini stampin' dimensionals.

I also added swipes of Clear Wink of Stella to the trees and the wreath for more sparkle.

I colored the sleigh and horse with Stampin' Blends, then cut with the Barn Die that coordinates.

The greeting, stamped with Bermuda Bay ink of Basic White, was cut out with another Barn Die that fits the phrase perfectly!

Here's the Bay Window card full-size. I added coordinating prints from the Storybook Gnomes 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This paper is also on the Last Chance Retiring List. It is currently not discounted but is while-supplies-last.

I added another strip of Basic White to the back side for a perfect place for signatures. The sentiment is another from the Christmas Barn stamp set.

Note: when you click on the links to my online store for the supplies for this card you will find the discounted amounts for the items from the Last Chance Retiring List that are discounted. Not every item on the Last Chance Retiring List are discounted, but ALL are while-supplies-last.

(Ordering the Christmas Barn stamps and the Barn dies does save you a little bit more instead of ordering it all in the bundle)

Stampin’ Up! Full of Love!

Posted on November 28, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been MIA again for awhile, and to be completely honest, I've kind of gotten out of my "groove" of posting on my blog. After the fiasco of Typepad being down for almost 3 weeks in October it's been really hard to get back in the habit, but I do have some cards lined up to share with you and tons of swaps to share from my monthly swap as well as the swapping I did at the Stampin' Up! OnStage Local I attended in Indianapolis, Indiana earlier this month, so don't give up on me, please!

The card I have to share today I created for the monthly swap I have participated in for many, many years. Most month's have some sort of theme, or at least a direction to go with while we are creating, and this months' theme was to create a card with a tag. I used an Annual Catalog stamp set, Full of Love, and the Very Best Trio Punch from the July-December Mini Catalog:

I started by stamping the floral letter image with Memento ink on the Basic White background layer, then stamping it again on the Basic White layer for the tag. I stamped a greeting from the Full of Love stamp set, then embossed the stamped white layer with the "happy birthday" folder from the Let's Celebrate Embossing Folders.

I punched both the white tag front and the Pool Party layer with the Very Best Trio Punch, flipping the strips over to punch to opposite corner so they curve would match. I punched the top of the tag with the ribbon slit from the same punch before coloring the tag and the background around the flowers with the Stampin' Blends I have listed in below. I then adhered the tag layers together, added the ribbon, and then adhered over the stamped and embossed white layer to achieve a "spotlighted look".

Inside I stamped another phrase from Full of Love, as well as the single bloom in the lower left corner. I added a trio of tiny blossoms with Pool Party ink. I repeated these motifs on the coordinating envelope.

Stampin’ Up! Soft Seedlings Birthday for Grace!

Posted on October 25, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Busy weekend again! Every year sometime before Christmas all of the "Payne Girls" (my daughters, teen granddaughters, and daughter-in-laws) go shopping together one Saturday. For a long time it was always after Thanksgiving, but a few years ago we started going before Thanksgiving, which actually works better for me as I can then get a better handle on my present-buying. When you are buying gifts for 25+ peeps, it takes a while to get it organized. I've figured out a good way to keep track, which involves putting Post-It Notes on gifts as I put them in my cart in the store and keeping a small notebook in my purse to keep track.

This year with Faith expecting Wesley the first of December she requested we go in October as she really didn't feel comfortable traveling over an hour from home and doctor so close to her due date, so we were glad to get to all go together on Saturday! I did get a good start on my shopping, so now if I can just keep going and get it all wrapped sooner rather than later! haha!

I realized I hadn't shared the card I made for Grace's birthday in September with you yet, so here it is!

I used the Soft Seedlings stamp set and Hello Harvest Bundle to create this fall-themed card with a birthday message.

For the front greeting I used a sentiment from Hello Harvest, stamped with Cajun Craze ink.

I used an inkpad-dragging technique to ink all of the leaves, starting by inking the leaf first with Pumpkin Pie, then dragging the edge of the Cajun Craze pad along the outside edges of the leaf. After stamping Very Vanilla with one of the leaves, I stamped the Hello Harvest pumpkin over with Cajun Craze ink, then cut with a Rustic Pumpkin die. As I added Clear Wink of Stella all over the pumpkin I found that the Wink of Stella solution slightly picked up the stamped Cajun Craze ink and moved it as I painted with the brush to give the pumpkin the all-over orange blush look! Wink of Stella also intensified the colors of the leaf.

I finished off the inside with the banner sentiment from Hello Harvest.

Stampin’ Up! Amazing Thanks Baby Shower Thank-You!

Posted on October 21, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I've been MIA again, but I've been busy, not sick! I've been babysitting for Fiona a lot, and helping throw a baby shower for my soon-to-be 15th grandchild, Wesley Logan. Of course there are birthdays to celebrate almost every month and October is no exception!

Today I wanted to share with you the baby shower thank-you card I designed for my lovely daughter-in-law, Faith, to use to send out in appreciation for all of the gifts she has received at the three showers she has been given, for this much loved and awaited baby boy! Faith is a speech therapist at two local hospitals, so in addition to the shower I helped her mom throw, her work-mates also surprised her with a shower at each hospital.

Wesley's nursery and the shower I helped with both have a safari animal theme, so I used the Elephant Parade stamp set with the Amazing Thanks dies and Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to create this:

I tried to keep this card as simple as possible, but you know me, even simple gets a little bit busy most of the time! ha ha!

I started with a Smoky Slate card base, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4", then I turned the card to a landscape presentation.

I then cut a layer of Balmy Blue card stock 4 " x 5 1/4". On the right side I stamped the elephants (there are three different ones in the Elephant Parade stamp set) randomly with Balmy blue ink. I adhered the layer to the card front with Stampin' Seal.

I then cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2" x 5". I laid one of the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over the white layer, secured with a couple of pieces of Post-It Note Tape (I bought the tape on Amazon), then gently swirled Balmy Blue ink over the mask using a Blending Brush. I cut the finished layer in half at 2 1/2", then added the 2 1/2" x 3 3/4" piece to the left side of the card front with Stampin' Seal.

I cut a piece each of Smoky Slate and Basic White 1 1/2" x 3 1/2". I added a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the white layer before cutting both with the thanks dies from the Amazing Thanks die set. The solid die cuts a solid outline for the detailed "thanks" word. I removed the backing from the white
thanks word before adhering to the Smoky Slate layer. I adhered to the card front with snippets of stampin' dimensionals. I added a single Heart Pearl as the finishing touch.

Inside I stamped the sentiment from from Flowers of Friendship with Tuxedo Black ink on a 3 1/2: x 5" layer, as well as one of the elephants with Balmy Blue. I adhered this layer to a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Balmy Blue, then adhered it all to the inside of the card. I stamped the elephant on the front lower left corner of the envelope.

I also stamped another Flowers of Friendship sentiment on the envelope flap and I was done!

Note: to make this card a little bit easier and more safe to mail, when Faith & I sat down to make 80 of these we used Adhesive Sheet on both layer of the die-cut "thanks", and eliminated the stampin' dimensionals and the heart pearl.

I also completed all of the envelope stamping before the shower so we could put an envelope at each seat so the shower guests could fill out their address to make Faith's job a little easier when it was time for her to write the thank-you's.

Stampin’ Up! Polished Pink Elephant Parade!

Posted on October 6, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another card for you created with the Elephant Parade stamp set, but this time I also used the coordinating Elephant Dies and made my own background with the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks and a Blending Brush!

To create the Polished Pink plaid background, I laid the plaid design from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks over a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White. I held it in place with a bit of Post-It tape, then used a Blending Brush to lightly swirl Polished Pink ink over the entire layer. I kept adding more ink until I had the intensity I desired.

This time I stamped all three elephant babies from the Elephant Parade stamp set with Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers, and then cut with the coordinating Elephant Dies!

I colored each elephant baby with the bullet tip of the Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends marker, then went back over the wrinkles an areas I wanted to highlight with the same marker to darken. I wanted the inner ear to be darker than yesterday's elephant, so I colored first with a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend, then I layered a Light Real Red Stampin' Blend over it. I did this because I currently cannot find my Polished Pink Stampin' Blend. lol!

I lightened the center of the ears with the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter.

I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the Smoky Slate stitched squares behind each elephant baby, as well as to cut out the greeting.

I tied my loopy bow again with White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. I wrapped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the designer paper layer, which I had adhered to a Basic White layer of the same size for stability, tying in a simple knot. I then looped more of the same ribbon around four of my fingers to create three loops and slid the loops off my fingers. I gave the gathered loops a twist before laying them over the first tied ribbon knot and then tied the ends around it all. I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and then added a glue dot under the knot to keep it in place.

I finished off the front with Heart Pearls.

Inside I used a phrase from Charming Sentiments, as well as the butterfly and flower sprig from Elephant Parade.

Stampin’ Up! Elephant Parade for a Baby Girl!

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a baby girl card to share that I created with the Elephant Parade stamp set and Gingham Cottage Designer Paper.

I based my card on one I found online, but now I can't remember who provided the inspiration. I did change a few things for my card. I stamped the little sitting elephant on a Basic White layer, then cut with a Scalloped Contours Die. I stamped the greeting, also from Elephant Parade, as well as the butterfly and the little flower sprig, all with Tuxedo Black Memento ink so I could color them with Stampin' Blends. I colored the elephant baby with a Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends, then added another layer of the same Light Smoky Slate on the wrinkles and eyebrows. I colored the inside of her ears with a Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend, but the color was too bright to coordinate with the Blushing Bride color of the Gingham Cottage Designer Paper I used on the background, so I used the Stampin' Blends Color Lifter to lighten the color. I used a Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends on her eyes and the butterfly, then accented the butterfly wings with the same Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blend. Instead of lightening the color I added touches of Clear Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle and shine.

I wrapped the White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the designer paper layer, which I had adhered to a Basic White layer of the same size for stability, tying in a simple knot. I then looped more of the same ribbon around four of my fingers to create three loops and slid the loops off my fingers. I gave the gathered loops a twist before laying them over the first tied ribbon knot and then tied the ends around it all. I trimmed the ends of the ribbon and then added a glue dot under the knot to keep it in place. I then added the stamped scalloped rectangle over the ribbon with dimensionals.

I colored the flower and the leaf with the Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party Stampin' Blends, then added a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to the petals. I added a few Heart Pearls to the front as the finishing touch.

Inside I stamped the "Babies are a Blessing" from Charming Sentiments, as well as another butterfly and flower sprig. I added coordinating Gingham Cottage Designer Paper to the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day on Tuesday October 4 AND Free Shipping Day!

Posted on October 4, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I was so busy last week and over the weekend there was absolutely no time to post! Today is free shipping day on all orders of at least $75 or more from Stampin' Up!, so today should be busy too! I have two of my granddaughters with me today as well. Fiona is here for two days and nights in a row and Cyndal is here today so I can take her to Tuesday School this morning for her mommy so my son Ben can continue to borrow their extra car until he finds one to replace the one that was wrecked when he hit a deer.

Before I share a few swap cards with you, I need to remind you that today is Free Shipping Day on all orders of $75 or more from Stampin' Up!

The first card I want to share with you today was created by Jan Farring with the Christmas Barn Bundle and Texture Chic Specialty Designer Paper. She used the Bay Window Fold too!

I love how detailed the barn image is. It really doesn't need any color added!

She used a sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set, stamped with Soft Suede and cut out with a Stitched Rectangles Die.

This swap created with the Christmas Scottie Bundle and Tahitian Tide, Basic Black and Basic White. The background was embossed with one of the two Eucalyptus 3D embossing folders. I currently have misplaced this card so I cannot tell you who the creator is, but as soon as I find it I will add the name here!

Finally, I really love this z-fold card created with the Forever Friendship stamp set! Again, I'm not sure where it is located at my home right now so I can't tell you the creator's name.

The touches are lovely, with the Real Red stamped "thank you's" cut out and added over the sheet of paper in the typewriter and the bit of black & white gingham ribbon!

The inside sentiment is also from Forever Friendship.

Here are the supplies used for today's cards. Shop for them (and get free shipping on orders of $75 or more today only) in my online store!

Stampin’ Up! Apple Harvest is a Bundle!

Posted on September 28, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Just a quick post this morning, as I am out the door in a few (with Fiona in tow) to spend some time today with my oldest daughter, Jessica, on her birthday! She is the baby girl who made me a momma, and I can't wait to spend some time with her! She is a busy wife, mother of 4, and an awesome photographer who especially loves to photograph newborns and babies. With her busy schedule and mine, it's hard to squeeze in a few hours together, but somehow we manage to do it around her birthday and mine! We are going antiquing for a bit and then lunch at one of her favorite restaurants, O Charley's!

I received this card as a swap a while back, and wanted to share it with you before the Apple Bundle expires on Friday. The Apple Harvest stamp set will still be available in the July/December Mini Catalog, but the Apple Blossom dies will not!

I would love to tell you who made this card, but currently it is misplaced! As soon as it turns up I will add the creator's name to this post!

It's sort of a z-fold with a bit of a joy fold added in!

Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic “W” Card!

Posted on September 24, 2022 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have another card for you, created with the Texture Chic Collection, this time my Jenna Roby! Jenna created a "w-fold" fun-fold card! I'm excited to try this fold for myself! Jenna used a pretty spring-like pattern from the Texture Chic Specialty paper for her background, cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and layered on a Mango Melody card base. She added a die-cut from the Chic dies out of Distressed Gold Specialty paper. Over that she added the greeting layer and it's mat, cut with Stitched Rectangle dies.

Inside is the "w" magic! While this card looks difficult, the secret is in the folding of the 1" x 11" strip of Petal Pink she used to adhere the squares.

Jenna went with a seasonal theme, cutting the spring, summer, fall, and winter images directly from the Texture Chic Specialty paper. She layered them on squares cut with Stylish Shapes dies.

You could practically make this card without any stamping, but what would be the fun in that?
