Stampin’ Up! Serene Silhouettes Inlaid Embossing!

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Last night I went to see the "Inside Out" movie. It was emotional, as it was intended, but good. The short movie at the beginning, "Lava", was ADORABLE. You should go see them!

I was inspired by Dawn Olchefske to make this card for my Birthday Card Buffet. She used the new "Wild About Flowers" hers, but since I don't have that set I "made do" with what I had on hand:

I used Serene Silhouettes, Summer Silhouettes, and World of Dreams to stamp on the three panels with Early Espresso ink.

After I adhered the panels to the Whisper White layer I ran all of it through the Big Shot inside the Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I love this inlaid embossing look! My card went from o.k. to fabulous in seconds!

I used the "happy birthday" from And Many More, then punched it with the new Washi Label Punch. I layered the greeting over the Early Espresso 1/2" Seam Binding ribbon with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I love this sentiment from World of Dreams. Isn't that just the way our best friends are for us?

That's all for now. You can purchase everything to make this card in my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Stampin’ Up! Merry Little Christmas Simply Created and Snow Day!

Posted on November 15, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Switching gears today away from Serene Silhouettes to show you the other card we are making at my three workshops this week. The first one is the Crumb Cake Serene Silhouettes card I showed you HERE, and the second one is this:

It's the ADORABLE little snowman again! I combined the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit with my favorite Holiday Catalog set, Snow Day #131892 wood-mount $26.95 or #131895 clear-mount $18.95.

We are stamping the snowman body with Pool Party ink instead of Coastal Cabana, which is the blue color in the Simply Created Kit, because I like the softer look of the Pool Party ink for snow. Another BONUS about this stamp set is this: because the snowman body is "stipple-y", you really can't stamp it badly! Even if some of the ink is missing it will still look ok! The face, arms, and buttons are very easy to place on the body too!

I LOVE this kit! It has enough pre-cut and scored card bases and supplies to make 8 cards. The only additional things you need are the stamps of your choice, ink, and adhesive!

Inside I stamped the phrase from the Merry Little Christmas stamp set #131826 wood-mount $13.95 or #131829 clear-mount $10.95. This set was designed to bundle with the Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kit: #133296 wood-mount $19.95 or #133287 clear-mount $17.95.

I also stamped the snowflake from Snow Day randomly on this layer with Pool Party ink.

It's a fun card! My Thursday night workshop stampers loved it and Merry Little Christmas Simply Created Card Kits were ordered!

If you love this card too and want it to be your Christmas card, you can order all the supplies to make it (in a snap!) from my Online Store:

www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Did I mention the kit comes with envelopes and pre-cut Real Red Polka-dotted envelope liners too? LOVE!!!!!

Well, that's all for now. Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day

Stampin’Up! Serene Silhouettes Snowstorm!

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had such a very positive response to yesterday's card using Serene Silhouettes I decided to create another card using this set using an idea that has been rolling around in my head for quite awhile:

I combined Serene Silhouettes with Lovely as a Tree and a phrase from More Merry Messages. I stamped the birds on the branch with Jet Black StazOn ink on a strip of Crumb Cake 2" x 4", then used my Paper Snips to hand-cut the tag corners. I layered this on a piece of 2 1/8" x 4 1/8" Always Artichoke that I also sponged with Always Artichoke ink. I used the Crumb Cake tag corners as my guide to cut the Always Artichoke tag corners.

To achieve the "snowstorm" look: after stamping the Lovely as a Tree images with Always Artichoke ink (the bare trees in the background were stamped-off once before stamping on the card base), I used the finest splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge to stamp both the card base and the birdie tag first with Smoky Slate ink, cleaned my stamp, then stamped the same image over all with Whisper White Craft ink. I think the two colors layered over each other does give depth to the "storm", yes?

All edges were sponged with first Always Artichoke ink and then Whisper White Craft.

The Always Artichoke bow is actually Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Taffeta ribbon that I custom-dyed by laying the ribbon directly on the Always Artichoke inkpad and sponging. I rubbed the ribbon with a paper towel to remove as much excess ink as I could before tying the bow. It is adhered to the top of the birdie tag with Glue Dots.

I stamped the "merry christmas" phrase from More Merry Messages with Jet Black Staz On on Crumb Cake, then punched with the Modern Label punch. I then sponged it with both Always Artichoke and Whisper White, then rubbed the edges of the piece directly on the Always Artichoke pad for more definition. It is adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For my finishing touch I added Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details to the birdies, leaving the card flat to allow time for the "glitter glue" to dry.

Inside is stamped with the same Lovely as a Tree images and sponged with the same inks as the outside.

The inner phrase is from Christmas Messages, stamped with Jet Black StazOn ink.

Stampin’Up! Winter Serene Silhouettes!

Posted on November 13, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have a card to show you I CASED and adapted from Penny Thomas and Patty Bennett. I needed a more "winter" themed card for a workshop I'm doing tomorrow. I will bring a "thinking of you" and a "happy birthday" stamp to the party so this can be adapted from the Christmas theme it has right now:

Super-duper easy to make! Here's why:

It's all one color of cardstock – Crumb Cake! The base is left plain, the next layer(4" x 5 1/4") is Square Lattice embossed and sponged with Crumb Cake ink. The next layer (3" x 4") is left plain, then the final layer (2 3/4" x 3 3/4") is stamped with Early Espresso and sponged with Crumb Cake!
The Crumb Cake card base is from a package of Cut & Ready Card Bases. A package of 20 card-ready, cut-to-size (8 1/2" x 5 1/2"), scored (at 4 1/4") for $4.95! A great value when you need to make a card quick or alot of cards at once!
Only two colors of ink – Crumb Cake and Early Espresso
Only two stamp sets – Serene Silhouettes & Greetings of the Season
Only three embellishments – Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder, Stampin' Sponge, and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details!

After you put the Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details on the little birds there is a bit of drying time for the glue before you can mail it, but it's really not that long if you don't put the details on too thick!

Here's the info for the Cut & Ready Card Bases (only available until December 31st!)

Whisper White Cut & Ready Card Bases #135804 $4.95

Very Vanilla Cut & Ready Card Bases #135805 $4.95

Crumb Cake Cut & Ready Card Bases #135806 $4.95

Smoky Slate Cut & Ready Card Bases #135807 $4.95

Cherry Cobbler Cut & Ready Card Bases #135808 $4.95

Old Olive Cut & Ready Card Bases #135809 $4.95

Pool Party Cut & Ready Card Bases #134810 $4.95

Here's why these card bases will help you relax and enjoy the season:

You'll save work and time not having to cut and score cards-even if you're simply making a card or two.
You'll be able to make multiples in no time.
There's no trimmer required unless you need to cut layers!

You can order your Cut & Ready Card Bases in my Online Store:

Today is not a Liam day. Instead I'm going to Jessica's to babysit Cohen and Jaxon. Jessica has a full day of photo sessions, including a newborn! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Serene Silhouettes Swap to Share!

Posted on July 10, 2013 by Carol Payne

Good morning! Still mining my swap stash while I play "catch-up" from being sick!

Todays card is one I don't really enjoy making, but they have to be done, don't they?

The creator of the card used Serene Silhouettes and Thoughts & Prayers stamp sets, the Oval Collection Framelits, the Honeycomb Textured Impressions Folder, Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Pool Party Core'dinations cardstock, and Island Indigo and Whisper White cardstock to create a truly serene, restful card.

I apologize for the poor lighting. I took these pictures while still stuck on the couch sick on Monday. Pool Party and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Write Markers were used to ink up the flower image (what kind of flower IS that, anyway? I'm not a horticulturist!), then tiny Basic Jewel Pearls were added to finish them off sweetly.

Thanks for stopping by! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
