Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral with Gilded Leafing!

Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral with Gilded Leafing!

Hey there! Today I have my last sneak peek with the Fine Art Floral Suite. This card has a decidedly Asian feel to it and I used new Gilded Leafing from the suite to create the background.

Stampin_up_art_gallery_gilded_leafing_carolpaynestamps1

This card turned out to be gorgeous and I love it. However, the Gilded Leafing is a challenge to use so unless you are up for a mess I wouldn't recommend it to the faint of heart.

Let me explain. I started off by stamping the bloom repeatedly on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Basic Black with Versamark,  sprinkled the with the Heat & Stick Powder from the suite. You need to be very careful when heating Heat & Stick; it's very easy to overheat and then it won't be sticky. I used my heat tool from the underneath side of the card stock to keep from overheating. Then I laid the sticky layer in a tray and sprinkled the Gilded Leafing over the entire piece. I smashed the leafing into the sticky with my fingers and then used a dry brush to flick away the excess leafing. This took awhile and lots of tiny pieces flew everywhere; it was impossible to keep it all in the tray.

Unless you are fond of cleaning up tiny bits of leafing from your work surface, hands, and clothes, I'd leave this off your wish list. Sorry to give it a poor review, but I wouldn't want you to be misled. I will probably play with it again, but I'm also going to re-create this card with gold heat embossing for a much cleaner result. After stamping the bloom with Poppy Parade ink I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated with my Heat Tool. I cut it and the Mossy Meadow-stamped stem with Floral Gallery Dies.

The inside sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set.

Stampin’ Up! Another Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Another Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today I want to share with  you another card I created with the Fine Art Floral Suite! This time I created a "book-style" card so I could feature both sides of the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper:

Stampin_up_art_gallery_carolpaynestamps1

For this card I only cut out the "just" from the "just want to say" die cut to coordinate with the "thinking of you" sentiment. Originally "I'm thinking of you" in the Art Gallery stamp set, I used a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker to omit the "I'm".  I cut it out with a Floral Gallery Die, then layered on a strip of Basic Black. I framed it with a Gilded Gem on each end to complement the strip of Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate I added over the Basic Black "spine" of the card front.

Stampin_up_art_gallery_carolpaynestamps2
I stamped the inside with a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts stamp set, another new one from the January/June 2021 Mini Catalog. See how pretty the other side of the designer paper I used for the front flap is? I have the measurements below so you can make a card like this one too!

Stampin_up_art_gallery_carolpaynestamps3

Measurements for today's card:

Basic Black card base: 5 1/2" x 5 1/4", scored at 4 1/4"

Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper front: 4" x 5 1/2"

Basic Black to cut "just": 1 1/2" x 3" greeting mat: 5/8" x 3"

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day December 27th!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day December 27th!

Hey there! I can hardly believe I'm actually posting a Sunday Swap Day on SUNDAY! YAY!

We decided to stay home from church and watch it online again like we did last week. We are feeling MUCH better, but still tired and not up to our usual energetic selves yet. I've made the executive decision not to decorate my tree this year; I'm going to focus on getting the mound of presents wrapped and the house cleaned so we can host our family next Friday.

Today's swaps were all created by my lovely team member, Joanne Cantrell!

First, her creation with the Best Year Bundle of stamps and dies:

Stampin_up_best_year_carolpaynestamps1

Next, she made this lovely card with the Fancy Phrases Bundle of stamps and punch:

Stampin_up_fancy_phrases_carolpaynestamps1
She created this card with the Massive Thanks stamp set, Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder, and Ornate Style stamp set.

Stampin_up_massive_thanks_carolpaynestamps1

She used Nature's Beauty to create this masculine thanks card:

Stampin_up_natures_beauty_carolpaynestamps1

This pretty little card was created with the Summer Days Host Rewards set:

Stampin_up_summer_days_carolpaynestamps1

Timeless Tropical is the name of the stamp set used on this one:

Stampin_up_timeless_tropical_carolpaynestamps1

Joanne used the Well Written dies and Well Said stamps to create this one:

Stampin_up_word_wishes_carolpaynestamps1

She used the Well Written dies again to create this Magenta Madness card:

Stampin_up_word_wishes_carolpaynestamps2

For her final creation, Joanne used the Zoo Globe stamp set with a fun fold!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today is our first day out of quarantine, and although I don't think we are venturing out yet and may not for a few more days, it's good to know we don't have to stay home!

We will be having our family Christmas next week on New Year's Day, so I still have Christmas-y things to do when I feel up to it. We are still pretty tired.

Today I'm sharing a fun card I created with the new Art Gallery Bundle from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

Stampin_up_art_gallery_carolpaynestamps1-1

The element that attracted me the most to this bundle was the Floral Gallery Dies with the "just want to say" phrase, so of course I used it on the very first card I made! I embossed the Petal Pink layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder after I had added the strip of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I added a bow tied with Mossy Meadow 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to coordinate with the Mossy Meadow card base.

Inside I inked the flowers with Blushing Bride then used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to add the streaks of color to the blooms.

Stampin_up_art_gallery_carolpaynestamps2-2

All of the stamps, dies, and accessories used on today's card will be available to order starting on January 5th, 2021!

Until then you can shop the Year-End Closeout for some good deals on retiring Holiday Catalog products. All items are while-supplies-last. Check inventory in my online store to be sure of availability.

Stampin’ Up! More Christmas Cards  From Friends!

Stampin’ Up! More Christmas Cards From Friends!

Hey there! Today I have more Christmas  cards from friends I want to share with you. Since tomorrow  is Christmas I won't be posting anything, but on the 26th I will be back to start sharing some sneak peeks from the January/June Spring Mini Catalog!

I have three cards to share today, starting with this one from Diane Laur. Diane used a retired Stampin' Up! Christmas set with white heat embossing and Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (50% off right now on the Year-End Close-out List)

IMG_1277 (2)

Next, LeeAnn Byrne CASED a card I shared here a couple of months ago to create her Christmas card. I am so honored! She made a few changes to make it her own, of course!

IMG_1273 (2)

Finally, Donna Ninness created about 40 of these to send out to her besties. She used the Peaceful Nativity Bundle, another Year-End Closeout find. The Nativity Dies are a steal at 50% off the regular price!

IMG_1268 (2)

Donna used her Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers to color the nativity images.

Here's the full list of Year-End Closeouts, including the discounted items. All are while-supplies-last. To be sure the items you are wanting to order are available, be sure to order them directly from my online store.
