Stampin’ Up! In the Meadow!

Stampin’ Up! In the Meadow!

Hey there! Today's card was created with a stamp set I didn't plan to buy! In the Meadow first appeared in the spring Occasions Catalog. I didn't order it because there were other wonderful products to choose.  One of my customers accidentally ordered it twice, so I traded for her choice of product of the same value.

For my first creation with this set I stamped the deer and the trees inside the Woodland Textured Embossing Folder before inserting Sahara Sand card stock and running through the Big Shot. My card base is Soft Suede, layered with Garden Green and then the stamped/embossed/sponged Sahara Sand layer.

Stampin_up_in_the_meadow_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the banner and "thanks" from Endless Thanks with Garden Green and Soft Suede ink, cut it out, then sponged with Soft Suede. I looped Copper Metallic Thread behind the banner, securing with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_in_the_meadow_carolpaynestamps2

Stamping the deer directly on the negative side of the Woodland folder results in the look of the deer peeking from behind the trees!

Stampin_up_in_the_meadow_carolpaynestamps3

I kept the inside simple, to match the simple sentiment from Endless Thanks.

Stampin’ Up! More Happy Birthday To Me!

Stampin’ Up! More Happy Birthday To Me!

Hey there! I received more hand-stamped birthday cards that I wanted to share with you! Not all birthday cards come when you expect them, which is kind of nice. You get to celebrate a little longer!

My sweet friend Rachel Janus sent me this card, which she made in one of my classes with the Painter's Palette stamp set and Playful Palette Designer Paper! I featured this card in my "Painter's Palette Rip & Flip" post. View it HERE.

I consider it an honor that she would send me this card!

Stampin_up_painters_palette_carolpaynestamps1

My good friend, Donna Ninness, created and sent me this card using the beautiful but retired Crisp Cantaloupe and Whisper White!

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_carolpaynestamps2

I love everything about this card! Although most of the elements are retired, they are still just a gorgeous as when they were current!

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_carolpaynestamps3

The tiny pearls she put on the bodice complement the Perfect Polka Dots-embossed background. She used tiny accents of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper for the hat band and the sash.

Stampin_up_everything_eleanor_carolpaynestamps4

She cut both ends of the greeting banner with a retired Chalk Talk framelit, and colored the rhinestone in the center of the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer flower with a peach Sharpie marker!

Everyone has made me feel so special! Thank you!

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps2

 I did, however, stamp the "You put the Merry in my Christmas" from My Hero, the Ronald McDonald House Charities set before embossing the white layer with the Softly Falling folder. I used a 1" strip of Candy Cane Lane Designer paper, and tied a bow with Candy Cane Lane Baker's Twine.

Stampin_up_cookie_cutter_christmas_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the Gingerbread Man with Soft Suede ink, punched him with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch, and added the tiny Real Red heart, which is also punched with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch!

Stampin’ Up! More Cards For My Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! More Cards For My Birthday!

Hey there! It's my birthday today! There's a movement in the card- making world called #imbringingbirthdaysback, started by Shannon West at Stampin' Up! She designed this stamp:143573S

 A few days ago I received this card from her made with Jar of Love!

  Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps1

 Quickly stamped & cut out, she used Soft Sky cardstock for the jar so she didn't have to stamp the water!

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps2

There's multiple dies in the Everyday Jars Framelits to cut the flowers!

I'm the 1324th card she has sent this year!

Stampin_up_jar_of_love_carolpaynestamps4

Stampin' Up!'s Donna Griffith also sent a card! Many thanks to Shannon & Donna!

Stampin_up_flourishing_phrases_carolpaynestamps1

 Donna used Flourishing Phrases, bundled with Flourish Thinlets, adding a sentiment from Rose Wonder. She used a Whisper White Note Card & envelope with Peekaboo Peach and Watermelon Wonder. The striped piece is Affectionately Yours Washi Tape, and she added a few Metallics sequins!

Donna also used the #imbringingbirthdaysback stamp on her envelope. While I doubt I'm only the 24th card she has mailed this year, I think the "24" on the envelope is her system to know when to mail the card. Great idea!

Stampin’ Up! Paisleys & Posies Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Paisleys & Posies Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I've been working on swaps to mail out this week. I still have 2 to create, but this one is finished and ready to go! I used the Paisleys & Posies suite of products from the upcoming Holiday Catalog to create this:

Stampin_up_paisleys_posies_carolpaynestamps1

I let the colors in the Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Paper guide my color palette: Delightful Dijon, Night of Navy, Very Vanilla, Rich Razzleberry, and Copper.

Stampin_up_paisleys_posies_carolpaynestamps2

Paisleys & Posies includes this sentiment as well as the tiny leaves I stamped with Rich Razzleberry.

Stampin_up_paisleys_posies_carolpaynestamps3

The detail provided from the Pretty Paisleys Textured Impressions Embossing Folder!

Stampin_up_paisleys_posies_carolpaynestamps4

Copper Foil cut with a Paisley Framelit Die and a Metal Rimmed Pearl are the finishing touches. If you don't have the Precision Base Plate and the new Big Shot Platform, you will NEED them to cut with these intricately detailed dies, and the Die Brush and accompanying foam pad are essential too!

Stampin_up_paisleys_posies_carolpaynestamps6

Inside stamped with another sentiment and images from Paisleys & Posies using Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry ink.

Now I'm heading back to my crafting table to see what else my Holiday Catalog pre-order goodies will inspire!
