Stampin’ Up! Easter Bunny Bundle!

Hey there! Today I have a little Kraft Note Card I embellished with the Easter Bunny Bundle, Cane Weave 3D embossing folder, and the Petal Park Builder Punch!

I embossed a layer of Blushing Bride card stock with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder, then used Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere to the front of the Kraft Note Card.

Stampin_up_easter_bunny_carolpaynestamps1

After cutting a circle from the Vellum Basics Specialty Paper with a Stylish Shapes Die, I adhered the punched bunny to the front side, then turned the circle over and used the see-through-ness of the vellum as my guide to place the dimensionals on the back so I can adhere it to the Blushing Bride layer.

Stampin_up_easter_bunny_carolpaynestamps2

I tied a bit of Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon into a bow and adhered to the bunny with a few dots of liquid glue.

Stampin_up_easter_bunny_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped "Hi" from the Easter Bunny set with Soft Succulent ink, then punched with the Petal Park Builder Punch. I adhered to the lower right corner of the card front with liquid glue, then added three Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels.

Inside I stamped a sentiment from the Easter Bunny stamp set with Soft Succulent ink. I stamped the bunny and butterfly images from the same set with Blushing Bride ink.

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Dainty Delight Sneak Peek!

Hey there! I decided after my battle with Influenza A in December and the subsequent stress and chaos of trying to finish getting ready for our family Christmas that I would take off the rest of the month to rest and relax with my family. My kids and their families have a tradition of coming to my house at least part of almost every day between Christmas and New Years to play games and just hang out, and this year was no exception!

I was able to visit with everyone and cuddle with the littlest grand-babies, Atreyu (almost 6 months) and Wesley (one month). I just decided to give myself a stay-cation and I'm glad I did!

But now it's January 2nd and time to get back into a routine. I plan to get up earlier and go to bed a "little" earlier too. It's not always easy because I'm a night owl by nature and get into my "creative groove" at about 9 pm.!

The project I have to share with you today I created back at the beginning of December for a swap I participated in. You will get to see the swaps over the next few Sundays, but today's project/card is created with new products from the January/April 2023 Mini Catalog. This catalog goes live on Thursday, January 5th, so  you don't have too long to wait to start ordering. As usual, the beginning date of the Mini Catalog coordinates with the beginning of Sale-a-bration 2023, which lasts through February 28. This will be the only Sale-a-bration period in 2023. The past two years Stampin' Up! has had a second Sale-a-bration in the summer, but this year they are opting to run individual monthly specials during this period instead of another SAB. I will of course be posting the details about those specials as soon as I get the details from Stampin' Up!

My project today is an easel-calendar card created with the Dainty Delight Bundle of stamps and dies (both with the same title, finally!)Thank you Stampin' Up! for making it easier to keep the stamps and their matching dies straight!) found on page 55 of the January/April 2023 Mini and Dainty Flowers 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper found on page 6 of the Sale-a-bration Brochure. The Dainty Flowers Designer Paper can be yours as your free choice when you order at least $50 starting on January 5th!

Stampin_up_dainty_delight_carolpaynestamps1

I get my calendars from www.vippies.com. They come in increments of 25-100. I usually order at least 100, because the more you  buy they cheaper they are!

I used "the best is yet of come", found in the Dainty Delight stamp set, to create the easel "stop" so it can stand up by itself. I cut the phrase with a Stylish Shapes die, and mounted it on a layer of Fresh Freesia cut with another Stylish Shapes die. I will put the clickable list of the supplies I used with the links to my online store at the bottom of my post.

Stampin_up_dainty_delight_carolpaynestamps2

I used two patterns of the Dainty  Flowers Designer Paper. It has been photographed by Stampin' Up! to give the look of texture, even though the paper itself is not. I cut the flowers and the stems with Dainty Delight Dies, and added Flat Adhesive-backed Pearls, another new product coming on January 5th!

Here are the clickable links to the products that are currently available. The Dainty Delight Bundle, Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls, and the Dainty Delight Designer Series Paper will be added on January 5th:

Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic “W” Card!

Stampin’ Up! Texture Chic “W” Card!

Hey there! Today I have another card for you, created with the Texture Chic Collection, this time my Jenna Roby! Jenna created a "w-fold" fun-fold card! I'm excited to try this fold for myself! Jenna used a pretty spring-like pattern from the Texture Chic Specialty paper for her background, cut with a Stitched Rectangle die and layered on a Mango Melody card base. She added a die-cut from the Chic dies out of Distressed Gold Specialty paper. Over that she added the greeting layer and it's mat, cut with Stitched Rectangle dies.

IMG_4470

Inside is the "w" magic! While this card looks difficult, the secret is in the folding of the 1" x 11" strip of Petal Pink she used to adhere the squares.

IMG_4471

Jenna went with a seasonal theme, cutting the spring, summer, fall, and winter images directly from the Texture Chic Specialty paper. She layered them on squares cut with Stylish Shapes dies.

IMG_4472

You could practically  make this card without any stamping, but what would be the fun in that?

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Kisses Sunny Splash!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Kisses Sunny Splash!

Hey there! My card today is my last in the series with the Butterfly Kisses 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack. I felt like these two prints together had a tropical look to them, so I decided to combine them with the Sunny Splash stamp set!

Stampin_up_sunny_splash_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped the swimsuit on Basic White with Parakeet Party ink, then cut with the Stylish Shapes oval die. I set the outside white ring aside for a future project and then cut Calypso Coral with the same die to use add the frame around the suit. I added the suit oval with dimensionals and the outside frame with tiny slivers of dimensionals. I added an Iridescent Rhinestone for some bling on the suit.

Stampin_up_sunny_splash_carolpaynestamps2

For the background I adhered two strips of Butterfly Kisses designer, the flowered print is 2" x 5", and the Parakeet Party diagonal lined print is 1 3/4" x 5". I embossed the layers with the Cascading Ruffles 3D embossing folder before adhering to the card front. I added a couple more Iridescent Rhinestones for a bit more sparkle.

Stampin_up_sunny_splash_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped the greeting with Calypso Coral ink on a 3/4" x 2 5/8" Basic White strip, then cut one end into banner points with Paper Snips. I adhered this also with dimensionals.

Stampin_up_sunny_splash_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I embossed the Parakeet Party layer with the Cascading Ruffles folder again, adhered, then added a 1" wide strip of Butterfly Kisses to a white layer stamped with the sentiment with Calypso Coral ink. I then used a Scalloped Contours Die to cut the sentiment layer before adhering. I stamped another sentiment from Sunny Splash on the envelope flap.

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries, I CASED Myself!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetest Cherries, I CASED Myself!

Hey there! Today's project is a CASE of a card I created a few weeks ago with the Sweetest Cherries stamp set and Design a Daydream Host Designer Paper. I was planning to cut M & T packets for the original card when I discovered I had used up all of the sheets with the Garden Green print, so I chose a different print from the pack featuring Mint Macaron. Since the color and the print is different I decided I needed to make a whole new card:

Stampin_up_mint_macaron_sweetest_cherries_carolpaynestamps2

I still cut the focal image layer with a Scalloped Contours die, and stamped the cherries with Sweet Sorbet ink. I still used Early Espresso for the stems, but stamped the leaves with Mint Macaron instead of Garden Green. I didn't have enough of the Sweet Sorbet dots from the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots pack for my M & T packets, so I used a Dark Sweet Sorbet Stampin' Blends to color a white dot from the Classic Matte Dots pack to match!

Stampin_up_mint_macaron_sweetest_cherries_carolpaynestamps3

I heat embossed "Sweet" from Sweetest Cherries on Mint Macaron, then cut with a Stylish Shapes die.

Stampin_up_mint_macaron_sweetest_cherries_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I stamped "birthday wishes" from Sweetest Cherries with Mint Macaron ink, and added a single cherry at the bottom of the sentiment layer.

Stampin_up_mint_macaron_sweetest_cherries_carolpaynestamps5

I stamped "friend", also from Sweetest Cherries, on the envelope flap with Mint Macaron ink.

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps1

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps2

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps3

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Stampin_up_sending_smiles_freesia_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Stampin’ Up! Sending Smiles Sneak Peek!

Hey there! Today's card was inspired by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner! She was inspired by a card she saw on another website, which is how most of us come up with our card ideas! I'm partial to her creations for two reasons: #1 She is an accomplished stamper, particularly as a watercolor artist, and #2 She has the same first name as my youngest daughter!

I took her basic layout and the images she used from the Sending Smiles stamp set and used Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape for my card:

I took her advice and added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the "sending" die-cut before running through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss. I just made 21 swap cards using these two dies and wish I had used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the skinny die-cut. I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue, but I have to say the Adhesive Sheet was much cleaner and faster!

I stamped the rest of the greeting on Soft Succulent card stock with Tuxedo Black ink, then cut with a new Stylish Shapes die. I can tell this die set will be my go-to set for so many cut-outs! I also added a few Fresh Freesia 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds for a bit of sparkle.

I adhered the "sending" and the "birthday wishes" with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I needed a darker version of Fresh Freesia for the background of the white "sending", so I used my Stampin' Blends trick again, coloring the regular Fresh Freesia card stock with a Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blend!

I also cut the vellum circle (from the Lovely Layers 3 3/4" x 5" Vellum pack) with the largest circle in the Stylish Shapes dies. This vellum is a little bit lighter-weight and more transparent than our regular Vellum Card Stock.

Inside I repeated some of the front layer stamping, then added this wonderful sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set. I think I will be using this phrase A LOT this coming year!
