Stampin’ Up! Sailing Home!

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have the second sympathy card I created a few days go, this time with Sailing Home, Drybrush Background, and a little bit of Comfort & Hope!

After I created the Comfort & Hope card I shared with you HERE, I got to thinking that Drybrush could look like shiplap, or the paint peeling off of the hull of a ship, so I stamped a Whisper White panel with Misty Moonlight ink and loved the look!

After stamping and cutting out the lighthouse with a Smooth Sailing die, I cut another lighthouse from Misty Moonlight to cut in half vertically so I could layer it on each side of the stamped one to give it more depth and stand out from the Drybrush background of the same color.

I love this sentiment from Sailing Home. I cut it with the Story Label Punch and added a Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dot for my finishing touch!

Inside I used the Comfort & Hope sentiment. Sympathy cards are hard to make. This sentiment is perfect when there is nothing you can say to make it better.

Dimensions:

Whisper White Thick card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored & folded at 4 1/4"

Whisper White layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse and greeting label: scraps inside sentiment layer: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4"

Misty Moonlight inside layer: 4" x 5 1/4" for lighthouse mat and greeting label mat: scraps

Stampin’ Up! Sending Flowers Dies!

Posted on March 12, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! One of my Hostesses ordered the Sending Flowers Dies from her party a couple of weeks ago and asked me to show her some samples of cards made with these adorable dies. She is also my hairdresser, so when she cut my hair earlier this week I brought along this card to get her creative juices flowing!

I used the Sending Flowers Dies with Garden Lane Designer Paper and Gingham Gala Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

Sending Flowers Dies:

The greeting inside and out is from Well Said. The large circle die also cuts out these "petals"that can be lifted and curled a bit!

I cut another set of the flowers; snipping them from from the Mint Macaron cardstock to add inside.

Here's a free PDF tutorial for you:

Stampin’ Up! Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop September Edition, Cards That MOVE!

Posted on September 14, 2016 by Carol Payne

Hey there! It's time for the September edition of the Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop! yay!

Our theme this month is cards that move. You will be amazed at the varied and inspiring samples we have to share!

For my project I decided to use one of my favorite card folds, the Window Card. I wanted a fall theme, so I used Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper and Vintage Leaves.

I pulled out Thoughts & Prayers for the sentiments. Fall colors work well for a sympathy card.

This fun fold provides a lot of options to add sentiments, much more than the usual book-fold style card, but really doesn't take much more card stock.

I also used the coordinating Leaflets Framelits to cut out the window and the leaves. Sponging with Early Espresso ink adds contrasting dimension.

To make sure I placed the greeting leaf correctly through the window, I folded the card closed, then added dimensionals to the inside fold before placing the leaf.

I stamped-off Cajun Craze ink for the leaf, then stamped the sentiment with Early Espresso.

I finished off the front by tying Kraft Rope Trim. After I knotted the ends I frayed it using a Paper-Piercing Tool.

Here's the supply list for my card. You can order all the supplies from my online store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

Vintage Leaves [138802] $26.00	Thoughts & Prayers Clear-mount Stamp Set [127805] $19.00	Thoughts & Prayers Wood-mount Stamp Set [128751] $26.00	Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper [142017] $13.00
Mint Macaron 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [138337] $8.00	Very Vanilla 8-1/2" X 11" Card Stock [101650] $9.00	Cajun Craze Classic Stampin' Pad [126965] $6.50	Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [126974] $6.50
Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad [126974] $6.50	Kraft Rope Trim [141996] $5.00	Stamping Sponges [141337] $3.50	SNAIL Permanent Adhesive [104332] $7.00
Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $4.00	Medium Very Vanilla Envelopes [107300] $6.50	1/8" Circle Handheld Punch [134365] $9.00	Stampin' Pierce Mat [126199] $5.00
Paper-Piercing Tool [126189] $4.00

Stampin’ Up! Blooming With Kindness Honeycomb! What’s Liam Up to this Week?

Posted on February 5, 2013 by Carol Payne

The most popular card at my CampJustWannaStamp! class this past Saturday was this one with the Blooming With Kindness set and Beautiful Wings Embosslit butterflies!

Here's the inside:

This card would be a perfect encouragement, get well, or sympathy card. I inked the flower stamp from the set with Not Quite Navy ink, stamped off once before stamping on the un-embossed Very Vanilla layer, then kept stamping, finally "huffing" on the remaining ink on the stamp before stamping the final few times.

The "Hope is . . " phrase is was stamped in Early Espresso over a stamped-off flower, then punched out with the 2 1/2" Circle Punch.

I've already shown this card on my Facebook Page: Carol Payne Stamps, and it has received more likes than any other card I've ever put on there!

Since it is so popular, I thought I should include the class handout for you to print out if you like:
