Stampin’ Up! Geometrical Cheer Up! Owl!

Posted on January 17, 2014 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm back again today with another card using the Geometrical stamp set and the Owl Builder Punch. I think I'm a little obsessed, but the phrases in this set are just so different from anything we've had in awhile, I'm really diggin' it!
I started with a cardbase of Coastal Cabana, then added a layer of Soft Suede that I embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder. Before I embossed the Soft Suede, however, I stamped the tree branch from Take Care with Early Espresso ink so I would have something for my little owl to sit on!

Today's owl is Early Espresso with a vest of Retro Fresh Designer Paper and those adorable Gold Sequin Trim eyes!

I inked the "cheer up buttercup" stamp from Geometrical with my Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, and Early Espresso Stampin' Write Markers, then stamped on a scrap of Naturals Ivory. I cut it out with one of the Word Bubbles Framelit Dies in the Occasions Catalog, then mounted it above the owl with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Inside I simply inked "you're Peach keen" from the Peachy Keen stamp set with the same markers. Those cute little "arrowheads" are inked with the same colors too and mimic the designer paper vest on the owl! I love the way Stampin' Up! coordinates several different products into a "suite"! You will find all this suite on pages 18-19 of the New Occasions Catalog.

That's all for now! Tomorrow is my "Yes, Mam! Stampers" downline meeting and I am prepping this card for the Shoebox Swap! yay!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #3! Summer Starfruit?

Posted on February 2, 2013 by Carol Payne

For today's "Best of Birthdays" Class card, "you're the icing on the cake!" stamp and Sycamore Street Designer Paper:

We used a quirked version of the "split negative" technique for the focal image, which was very easy to do. Just stamp image once on Whisper White, punch with 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then stamp again on Tangerine Tango and again on Island Indigo. Punch both with 1" Circle Punch, cut one cirle in half, then layer just half of it onto other full 1" circle to re-complete the image and you are done! Inside, phrases from the current Hostess-exclusive set, "Wacky Wishes":

I have a confession to make, I really, really don't like Summer Starfruit, at least not whole layers of it. The card I'm going to show you tomorrow has a teeny-tiny little strip of it as an accent, which I can handle, but no matter how card I try, such as with this card, I just cannot like it. I'm sorry!

But you know, that's why Stampin' Up! has so many colors to choose from in their color palette, so there is something for everyone! I love this Company!
