Stampin’Up! Retiring Sincere Salutations!

Posted on May 26, 2012 by Carol Payne

Here's the "get well" cup again, but this time on a card! One of my stampers, Jan, requested I try turning the cup into a card and this is the result! My final stamping event for May and the current catalog will be this coming Tuesday night at the Nazarene Church in Marion, where we will make this along with three others:

The Simply Scored Scoring Tool made the creation of this card easy! I used Circle Circus for the stamping along the bottom edge of the cup and the black-embossed medallion in the center, and for one last time, Sincere Salutations for the "Get Well soon". I did sneak in a little bit of new as the steam from the top of the cup is with the flourish from the New Annual Catalog set, "Everything Eleanor".

That's all for today! I will be stamping with my "Watercolor Wonders" class today, so today is sure to be fun!

Until tomorrow, hope your day "Stampingrox"!

Stampin’Up! Retiring Flower Fancy Continued!

Posted on May 25, 2012 by Carol Payne

Happy Friday to you all! The watercoloring class this Saturday and next Monday is going to be so much fun! We will be learning 7 different ways to watercolor using the Watercolor Wonder Crayons! Once again, we will be using the retiring "Flower Fancy" and "Sincere Salutations" stamp sets!

For this first sample we will be coloring the crayon directly onto the stamp, then lightly spritzing it with water before stamping onto the cardstock:

The same technique was used on the inside, but I must have spritzed more heavily because the color was much more "watery" here! This phrase from "Full of Life" coordinates beautifully with the "Thanks so much" on the front!

These last two samples are stamped on Watercolor Paper, which gives them a completely different look than on Whisper White!

Lastly, this sample uses the "Salted Background" technique! Unfortunately, I was too impatient to allow the salt to dissolve completely as the piece air-dried, so I sped up the process with my heat tool and blew all the salt away!

That's all for today! I will be back tomorrow with another version of the "get well" mug!

Until then, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!

Here's another great project that uses retiring Stampin' Up! products that I am not going to have enough time to fit into a class! I received this cutie in a swap a few months ago (November, actually, I think!). I featured it here a few weeks ago and have received requests to post the directions, so here you go!

This was definitely the crowning glory of the entire swap this month, Deb McCahan's get well soup mug! She combined the "get well" stamp from "Sincere Salutations" with the "get well" stamp from "Thoughts & Prayers" (both found on page 160 of the Idea Book & Catalog), and INCLUDED THE DIRECTIONS TO MAKE IT! JOY! JOY! You will be seeing this again as part of an upcoming class in the New Year for sure!
