Soft Sky – Carol Payne Stamps

Stampin’Up! Baby We’ve Grown for the Boys!

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today's post is a continuation from yesterday's using "Baby, We've Grown" from the Occasions Catalog, this time for a boy!

Circle Card Thinlet Die again, with Smoky Slate, Soft Sky, and Whisper White for my colors. Texture was added with the Alphabet Press Textured Impressions Folder.

On the "flip" side is another stamp from "Baby We've Grown", colored with my Blender Pen and ink from my Soft Sky inkpad. I added another "baby" Envelope Punch Board envelope to insert a gift card.

Here's the bunny up close so you could see how I watercolored him with Smoky Slate ink and my Blender Pen. I added some darker lines of Smoky Slate along the edges to give him some shadows. Even though I am not very experienced at watercolor, this stamp made adding the shading easy!

I stamped the bow tie area of the bunny on a bit of Soft Sky Designer Paper, then fussy-cut with Paper Snips. I laid the bow tie on my Silicone Craft Mat before adding a bit of SNAIL to it. The SNAIL stuck just to the paper but not to the mat or anything else! yay!

The "cute boy" words from the little boy shoes in the set. I used a Basic Gray Stampin' Write marker to only ink the words before stamping on Soft Sky carstock. One of the punches from the Little Labels Punch Pack punched it out perfectly!

That's all for now. I've been working on several fun new projects you will be seeing soon.Tomorrow is my final "Baby We've Grown" card for now, this time with the little owl family stamp, so come back to see me on Wednesday!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day Backyard Basics!

Posted on November 9, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a perfectly marvelous day yesterday with my stampers at my Christmas Card Stamp-a-Stack! I can hardly wait to stamp some more on Monday!

For today's Sunday Swap Day I dug out a couple of swaps using Backyard Basics stamps and framelits from my monthly swap a few month's ago:

Laura Milligan used Soft Sky and Smoky Slate with Backyard Basics for her calm and serene card above.

Ruth Bingle went with a similar soft color palette, using Wisteria Wonder instead of Soft Sky. I love her watercolored iris and smart little bow made with the Oval Punch!

The only thing I would add to these cards would be a greeting so they would "speak"!

This Sunday is a busy day with a bake sale after church, family lunch at our house (as usual), then a Ladies' Friendship Circle meeting before church again!

That's all for now! Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
