Stampin’ Up! My Hero for My Brother!

Stampin’ Up! My Hero for My Brother!

Hey there! My big brother, Don, turned 76. He was an 18 year-old high school senior the day I arrived. He went to football practice and told the guys he had a new baby sister. They didn't believe him!

My mom was sick a lot, passing away when I was almost 11. My brother and his wife took care of me, sometimes several weeks at a time, during my mom's final battle with lung/brain cancer. He helped me continue in school, giving me support when I was lonely. My big brother is truly my hero.

I CASED a  birthday card by Julie Pitta, changing and adding a few things of my own:

Stampin_up_my_hero_carolpaynestamps1

I used the My Hero Ronald McDonald House Charities set, which is retiring, and Best Badge Punch.

I punched a Crumb Cake Best Badge, cutting in half before adhering. I stamped a Dapper Denim "#1" on Crumb Cake, punched with the 1/2" Circle, and adhering with a dimensional. I added snippets of  5/8" Burlap Ribbon and coming-soon-in-the-new-catalog 1/4" Copper Trim!

Stampin_up_my_hero_carolpaynestamps2

Using the Timeless Textures cross-hatch image, I stamped-off Sahara Sand on both Real Red and Dapper Denim strips, then stamped CELEBRATE with Real Red on the Real Red strip and Dapper Denim on the Dapper Denim strip.

Inside I stamped Stylized Birthday with Dapper Denim and more stamped-off CELEBRATE's.

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, April Edition, Carryover Stamps!

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop, April Edition, Carryover Stamps!

Hey there! It's time for the April Edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! This month we are using Carryover sets that will be in the new Annual Catalog, beginning June 1st, but you can still order them now too!

1723402_10152213035905070_85588169_n

I decided to use Dragonfly Dreams for my hop project!

Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps1

I combined embossing folder "stamping"and triple time stamping with the Dragonfly Dreams Bundle. My card is inspired by Lavinia Gruizinga.

Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps2

 To "stamp" with an embossing folder: rub the raised side of the folder directly with your inkpads. Starting at the bottom of the folder, I applied Emerald Envy, Wild Wasabi, Bermuda Bay, and Tempting Turquoise. I then spritzed iberally with water before putting the Shimmery White layer directly on the inked surface and gently pressing and smoothing with my fingers. NOTE: this is an inky, messy technique, so you may want to wear protective gloves!

  Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps6

 After holding the paper on the folder for a few extra seconds to allow the ink to absorb, remove and set aside to dry for several minutes or speed up the drying  with a Heat Tool. You will know the paper is dry when it is flat again.

Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps8

You can usually get two card fronts from each inking of the folder as long as you spritz again with water in between. No two fronts will ever look the same!

Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps3

I white heat embossed the sentiment from Dragonfly Dreams. The Rhinestones are now retired and sold out, but don't worry, there will be a new configuration of Rhinestones and Pearls in the next catalog!

Stampin_up_fluttering_dragonfly_dreams_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I inked Stylized Birthday and the Awesomely Artistic dragonfly with the same colors using the Baby Wipe technique to ink the stamps.

Stampin’ Up! Inside the Lines for A Birthday!

Hey there! The Inside the Lines Designer Series Paper is FREE with a $50 Sale-a-bration order! I've seen many creations with the designs colored with sponges, watercolor pencils, markers, and foam brayers, but I decided to focus on creating a focal image that pops!

Stampin_up_suite_sentiments_carolpaynestamps1

I stamped a Suite Sentiments greeting with Basic Black and added blooms from Basket Bunch with Flirty Flamingo. I colored the blooms with a Pink Pirouette marker, then colored some of the centers with a Flirty Flamingo marker.

Stampin_up_suite_sentiments_carolpaynestamps2

How cute is this?!

Stampin_up_suite_sentiments_carolpaynestamps5

I used the pop-out window fold I used with the Lucky Elephant card a while back. I love how this card is constructed, easy but oh so effective!

Stampin_up_suite_sentiments_carolpaynestamps7

I used Stylized Birthday for the inside.

Stampin’ Up! Serene Scenery Sheltering Tree!

Stampin’ Up! Serene Scenery Sheltering Tree!

Hey there! We are still waiting for baby. We even went shopping for a few hours last night in hopes of getting labor started, but so far nothing is happening. Babies come when they want to, don't they!

Today's card is a super-duper easy one I created while I still had the Sheltering Tree set on my crafting table. Super easy because I stamped the tree and the greeting on a piece of Serene Scenery Designer Paper and it looks fabulous!

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps1

The photo-journalistic look of Serene Scenery gives this card so much texture, you really think you can FEEL it!

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps3

I stamped everything with Early Espresso. The font of Stylized Birthday coordinates perfectly with the starkness of the tree.

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps2

The only think even slightly fiddly with this card is the ribbon. I sponged Gold 1/4" Natural Trim with Early Espresso ink to match. After adding color with a sponge dauber I rubbed it through a paper towel a few times to remove the excess ink. I tied it in a simple knot and trimmed the ends.

Stampin_up_sheltering_tree_carolpaynestamps4

Inside I kept it simple by stamping this fun sentiment from Suite Sayings.

This card hardly took any time at all! Quick and easy in a snap!
